About our client

Kovo is transforming financial access for underserved Americans. They believe everyone deserves the opportunity for economic independence. Their innovative financial empowerment platform creates pathways to credit and financial inclusion, empowering individuals traditionally excluded from financial opportunities.

They have scaled revenue 10x and improved efficiency 5x over the past two years. Their revenue per employee now exceeds 2x the 90th percentile benchmark among startups. This is a venture-scale company that has started generating positive free cash flow early in its lifecycle, resulting in less dilution for employees as they accelerate momentum without being dependent on venture funding to stay alive. They are seeking exceptional individuals eager to help scale another 10x and beyond.

Kovo is backed by Inspired Capital and Homebrew, along with founders and leaders from Plaid, Cash App, Affirm, NerdWallet, Ramp, Alloy, MoonPay, Uber, Etsy, LendingClub, Column, Carbon Health, Grindr, and more.
