About us
Kovo is transforming financial access for underserved Americans. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity for economic independence. Our innovative financial empowerment platform creates pathways to credit and financial inclusion, empowering individuals traditionally excluded from financial opportunities.
We've scaled revenue 10x and improved efficiency 5x over the past two years. Our 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 our employees as we accelerate momentum without being dependent on venture funding to stay alive. We're seeking exceptional individuals eager to help us 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.
