Kovo is expanding access to financial tools for people historically excluded from the traditional credit system. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity for economic independence, and we’re building products that help people establish financial identity and unlock opportunity. Over the past three years, Kovo has grown revenue 20x while maintaining exceptional capital efficiency. We rank above the 99th percentile in revenue-per-employee benchmarks, reflecting the leverage of a small, high-performing team. The team combines the ambition of a venture-scale company with the discipline of a profitable business. We reached positive free cash flow early in our lifecycle, allowing us to grow with less dilution and focus on building for the long term. Kovo is backed by Inspired Capital and Homebrew, and built by alumni from Plaid, Experian, Equifax, TransUnion, Innovis, Chime, Robinhood, Opendoor, Honey, Possible, Monzo, Tapcheck, OppFi, Splash, Mercury, Instacart, and more. We're looking for exceptional people to help us scale the company another 20x and beyond.
