We are Kaiku
At Kaiku, we are more than just a tech company, we harness our expertise and tools to offer a diverse range of services that connect the global SME community.
Our journey
Our journey began in late 2019 with a clear mission to revolutionise the landscape of accessing early-stage capital and to simplify the path to 'investment readiness' for startups worldwide. Since then, we've been committed to empowering entrepreneurs, private enterprises and governments with the necessary tools and actionable insights to seize opportunities faster.
Our mission at Kaiku is to become the go-to destination for deal intelligence and business matchmaking, providing our clients with actionable insights and invaluable connections. Powered by our flagship Kaiku Platform, we deliver comprehensive services that integrate our technology and matchmaking algorithms with hands-on support from our team to ensure optimal outcomes.
Today, we’re using our experiences and tools to help some of the world’s leading companies. To date, we have worked with over 400 clients ranging from venture funds and family offices to corporate investors, government institutions, accelerators & incubators in over 50 countries across the globe, facilitating cross-border funding connections and fostering global innovation.
