Hi, we’re the founders of Kita. We built Kita after seeing the same problem again and again across lending teams in markets like the Philippines, where credit data is often thin: critical decisions were being slowed by messy financial documents and highly manual workflows. Credit teams were spending far too much time chasing documents, reviewing files by hand, and piecing together fragmented information from inconsistent, chaotic formats to make high-stakes risk decisions. We started with a simple question: what if financial documents could become structured, trustworthy, decision-ready data instantly? As we worked more closely with lenders, our thinking evolved beyond extraction alone. We realized the bigger opportunity was to build a system that could handle the messy reality around documents too: validating them, checking for fraud, and helping teams move applications forward faster and with more confidence. Kita is our answer to that. We’re building AI infrastructure for document-heavy risk workflows, starting with lending. These rails are especially critical in emerging markets like the Philippines, Indonesia, and Mexico, where credit bureaus are often limited and open banking is still nascent. With Kita, lenders can move faster, make better decisions, and serve more people.

Curious how you're handling document variety across different markets — because a borrower's financials in Nigeria look nothing like what you'd see in Indonesia, and that inconsistency is usually where these systems break. The fraud-checking angle is the real differentiator here though. Most lenders I've talked to aren't losing to bad credit models, they're losing to document manipulation they can't catch manually at scale. How far does the fraud detection actually go — are you flagging altered PDFs, inconsistent metadata, that kind of thing?
