Shiva Nathan is the founder and CEO of Onymos, a Palo Alto software company he started in 2017 to end the endless rebuilding of the same app plumbing. A former head of Intuit's Platform and Services organization who also held engineering leadership roles at Oracle and CA, he built Onymos around a 'Features-as-a-Service' model that lets companies drop in login, payments, notifications and other features without handing over their data. Onymos has since expanded into AI-driven document processing for healthcare and life sciences through its DocKnow platform, including a collaboration with Mayo Clinic.
Onymos is a Palo Alto software company that sells enterprises pre-built application features and data-processing modules instead of finished apps. Its Features-as-a-Service model bundles UI, backend logic, and cloud functions - login, chat, biometrics, storage - into drop-in components, all built on a self-described 'no-data architecture' where Onymos never captures or stores customer data. In recent years the company has focused its intake and AI tooling (DocKnow, LabFlow, SmartSync, DeviceFlow) on healthcare and life sciences, automating the document and data intake that clinical and diagnostic labs handle every day.
