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The wellness industry is on track to be the third largest in the world, but most businesses still rely on outdated models, unprepared for AI-driven transformation.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

We’ve secured $3.2 million in venture capital from leaders from Meta, GitLab, and Freshworks — with more to come.
