Zurich, Switzerland – March 7, 2025 – Kadoa, a company building AI agents for unstructured data, is pleased to announce the successful completion of its latest funding round. The investment was led by Vi Partners, with participation from Fyrfly Venture Partners. The company will use the funding to expand its team and accelerate the development of its data platform, which is already serving leading financial institutions.

The Unstructured Data Challenge in Finance

Financial institutions depend on timely, accurate insights to make crucial investment decisions. However, more than 80% of their critical data is trapped within unstructured formats such as websites, PDFs, emails, and CSVs. Traditional methods such as web scraping, PDF parsing, and manual data preparation require expensive engineering resources and constant maintenance. This creates bottlenecks for data teams and slows decision-making.

AI Agents for Unstructured Data

Kadoa provides an AI platform to help data and research teams build automated data pipelines. The platform uses large language models (LLMs) to extract, transform, and integrate data from any unstructured source.

With their AI agents, Kadoa eliminates engineering bottlenecks, reduces the time-to-insight, and enables companies to make faster and better investment decisions.

With a focus on serving financial services firms, Kadoa has secured multiple high-profile clients and demonstrated strong traction in a market where data accuracy and real-time insights drive competitive advantage.

Scaling to Meet Growing Demand

With the fresh investment, Kadoa will expand its operations, double its team, and expand their product capabilities. The company already serves leading hedge funds, private equity firms, and asset managers, and is focused on building the most reliable and accurate unstructured data solution in the market. 

Adrian Krebs, Co-Founder & CEO of Kadoa:

“When I was working in finance, I experienced firsthand how data teams spent most of their time building and fixing data pipelines made up of multiple scripts, data systems, and manual validation steps. We founded Kadoa with the mission to build the most accurate and easy-to-use platform for unstructured data. The traction we’ve achieved with leading financial firms validates our approach, and this funding helps us move even faster toward our vision.”

Gaetano Zanon, Vi Partners:

“We are thrilled to support Kadoa’s continued growth. The team has built a differentiated, AI-powered solution that is reshaping how financial institutions leverage unstructured data. Their ability to drive significant efficiencies in a mission-critical space sets them apart, and we look forward to contributing to their scale-up journey.”

As financial institutions increasingly adopt AI solutions, Kadoa is well-positioned to become the data infrastructure layer that transforms unstructured data into high-quality inputs for AI models and actionable investment insights.
