Our Story

Kai the Shiba Inu

Kai (2025)

At Stanford and Carnegie Mellon, our founders studied the intersection of systems and operations. We worked inside fund operations and saw the cost of manual workflows—slow rebalances, error-prone reconciliations, and audit pain.

Innovation kept stalling in production because of compliance, privacy, and brittle integrations. So we built Kai with controls, dual approval, and audit trails from day one—automation that actually ships in regulated, fund-heavy environments.

Our mascot and namesake is the Shiba Inu, a reminder to be clever, resilient, and strong.

What Our Clients Say

“We went from a 6-month internal build timeline to working flows in days. The controls and audit trails were exactly what we needed for a regulated environment.”

— Head of ETF Operations, Tier-1 Custodian

What Kai Is

An AI-native operations platform that sits on top of existing systems (custody/admin, Aladdin, SimCorp, State Street Alpha) and becomes the ops brain for fund back offices.

What It Does

Turns repetitive workflows—ETF creations/redemptions, index rebalances, basket construction, compliance checks, reconciliations—into auditable runs with pre-built components, AI agents that read unstructured inputs, and dual control built in.

Where It Runs

In your cloud or data center. Your data never leaves your environment.

How It Works

Sources → Kai Controls Layer → Human-in-the-Loop Approvals → Immutable Evidence

1

Connect

Read-only connectors to custody/admin systems, Aladdin/SimCorp/Alpha, email, and data warehouses. No rip-and-replace.

2

Automate

Pre-built components for rebalancing, basket construction, approvals, exceptions, and checks. AI agents read emails, PDFs, and broker messages and turn them into structured workflows.

3

Control

Dual approval, full audit trails, and repeatable workflows designed for regulated environments. Export evidence packs in one click.

Security & Compliance

Deployment

Deploy in your VPC or data center with SSO/SAML, IP allow lists, and isolated model serving.

Data

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with strict tenant isolation and retention controls.

Governance

We log every decision, add human checkpoints, keep workflows repeatable, and export audit packs in one click.

Procurement

Security documentation is ready to share and SOC 2 Type II is in progress.

Why Now

  • Fund operations teams face pressure to do more with less—faster rebalances, tighter controls, lower error rates.
  • AI agents can now reliably handle unstructured inputs (emails, PDFs, broker messages) that stalled past automation attempts.
  • Running AI inside your boundary is practical, satisfying strict privacy and compliance requirements.
  • Institutions already spend heavily on ops technology—modular add-ons beat costly rip-and-replace projects.
