Kolena

Kolena is a San Francisco-based AI company building software that automates document-heavy workflows for regulated industries - real estate, insurance, banking, and financial services. Founded in 2021 by Mohamed Elgendy, Andrew Shi, and Gordon Hart, the company began as a rigorous ML model testing platform and has since extended that quality-first DNA into agentic document workflow automation, with an emphasis on transparency, citations, and auditability.
