Kita
Profile
In emerging markets, millions are unbanked, credit bureaus are unreliable, and open finance is limited, leaving critical financial data locked in messy documents.
Kita is building the document intelligence layer powering modern lending across Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa. We transform those documents into structured, verified signals that unlock faster decisions and expand access to credit, making every borrower visible through document intelligence.
Built by a Stanford AI team and backed by Y Combinator and leading investors across Silicon Valley and Southeast Asia, we’re building the infrastructure layer for the future of global lending.
