Our commitment is to drive meaningful change across industries by delivering tools that not only automate routine processes but also amplify human insight and creativity, crafting a future where technology and people collaboratively achieve extraordinary outcomes.

We've been tracking Kizen since they emerged from Austin's tech scene in 2018, and honestly, they've caught our attention for all the right reasons. Founded by John Winner and Scott Turner—two consultants who got fed up with clunky legacy enterprise software—Kizen feels like the answer to a problem we didn't realize we were waiting for someone to solve.

The No-Code Revolution Done Right

What immediately impressed us about Kizen is their Generative AI Application Builder. We're talking about creating enterprise-grade AI apps in minutes, not months. No coding required, no massive IT overhead—just drag, drop, and deploy.

After testing similar platforms, we can say this isn't just another "no-code" tool with fancy marketing. The depth of their AI agents, pre-trained on actual business processes, shows they understand how companies really work. It's like having a consultant who's seen it all, but in software form.

Why Healthcare and Finance Are Paying Attention

Kizen's focus on healthcare, insurance, and financial services isn't random—these industries are drowning in manual processes that AI can actually fix. We've seen too many AI solutions that sound impressive in demos but fall apart in regulated environments.

What we appreciate is their "ProGen AI" approach. Instead of trying to be everything to everyone, they're laser-focused on industries where workflow automation delivers measurable ROI. Smart positioning in our book.

The Austin Advantage

With about 45 employees and a hybrid work model, Kizen feels right-sized for innovation without the bureaucracy that kills good ideas. Being based in Austin—not Silicon Valley—probably helps them stay grounded and customer-focused.

We're particularly excited about their 1,000+ smart connectors for integrations. In enterprise software, connectivity often makes or breaks adoption, and Kizen seems to get this fundamental truth.
