The round included backing from 1818 Venture Capital, F6 Ventures, Sparked VC, IM Fndg, and IVP, and was completed ahead of schedule in late 2025.
The company is building an AI-powered platform designed to act as a financial intelligence layer for modern finance teams. By integrating with ERP, accounting, and operational systems, Kudwa delivers real-time financial planning and analysis, combining data pipelines, forecasting models, and scenario planning tools.
