Our story

One platform for the whole life of a loan.

kennek was founded in London in 2021 by Thibault Lancksweert to build the operating system for private credit, starting with the bridging and development originators of the UK.

Instead of stitching together spreadsheets and in-house builds, originators run every stage of the loan on one platform, from origination through to the report their investors read.

Built by lenders, for lenders

Where we're heading

Not just software to run the loan book. The rails to fund it.

A lender's growth is only as fast as the capital behind it. So kennek is building on the data lenders already keep with us, to help them raise that capital too.
