About the Company:
Kindo is New Zealand’s leading school payment and e-commerce platform, used by over 500 schools and supporting 300,000 students and families. What began as a grassroots idea to simplify school lunches has grown into a nationwide solution making school life easier, fairer, and more connected.

Following a recent $15 million Series A investment from Movac, the venture firm behind companies like Vend, Auror, and Trade Me, Kindo is entering an exciting new chapter. With a clear product-market fit and a deep understanding of what schools and families need, Kindo is scaling its platform, team, and impact. The focus now is on building smarter automation, improving reporting, deepening integrations, and strengthening community support.

This is a chance to join a product-led company at a pivotal moment. One that still feels small, but is growing fast with serious backing.
