Our history and background:

The wellness industry is on track to be the third largest in the world, but most businesses still rely on outdated models, unprepared for AI-driven transformation.

At Kenko, we equip wellness entrepreneurs with AI to build profitable, scalable businesses.

Weve secured $3.2 million in venture capital from leaders from Meta, GitLab, and Freshworks with more to come.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses.

These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment.

Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
