Kairos HQ is a U.S.-based private company that builds products in the housing and healthcare sectors. Founded in 2008 as The Kairos Society by Ankur Jain, it is headquartered in New York City. As of 2023, the firm managed US$300 million to invest in affordable housing and personal health startups.
The Kairos Society was launched in 2008 by Ankur Jain while at Wharton Business School as a talent incubator. Some founders from Kairos later founded Periscope, Casper, FiscalNote, and Digital Genius.
