About Us
We believe in making everyone a lifelong learner

Our team

Originating from different backgrounds from Zimbabwe, the United States, and Kenya, the journeys of the Kai founders are unified from their experience in higher education and careers in tech. They believe in the transformative power of higher education, but saw the varied experiences of entering higher education as students—something they want future generations to experience in a better way.

They are dedicating their careers to higher education to build technology that reimagines the enrollment experience so that every students feels like they belong before day one.

Our values

Trust & Mutual Respect

We trust and value each other's strengths while challenging ideas directly and respectfully to drive our mission forward.

Bias for Action & Momentum

We act now to build momentum. Perfection slows progress, so we execute, and refine as we go.

Ownership & Long-term Commitment

Kai's success is in our hands — we own it, drive it, and build with long-term vision. We commit to delivering value to our customers by taking ownership of their problems.

Be Curious

We stay curious about our customer, the problems they face, and new possibilities, while actively looking to learn and improve ourselves along the way.
