Kadoa

Kadoa is a web data platform built specifically for investment firms and financial analysts, using AI coding agents to generate and maintain deterministic ETL pipelines. Headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, with a distributed team across North America and Europe, Kadoa positions itself as the "web data layer for finance" — enabling analysts and engineers to source structured datasets from public web sources without writing or maintaining brittle scrapers.

What It Is

Kadoa is a cloud-native data extraction and pipeline platform that combines AI-driven code generation with a structured orchestration engine. Rather than producing black-box LLM outputs, Kadoa's agents write and maintain deterministic code that extracts, transforms, and validates data from websites, PDFs, images, and spreadsheets. The result is auditable, source-grounded datasets delivered directly to data warehouses and storage systems. The platform is designed for two primary users: analysts who describe what they need in plain language and get structured datasets in minutes, and engineers who write and run ETL code natively within Kadoa.

How the Pipeline Engine Works

Kadoa's orchestration engine breaks each data job into specialized subagents and skills:

• Discover — indexes and maps target pages
• Navigation — generates browser automation code
• Extraction — generates and runs extraction code
• Transformation — cleans, formats, and structures data
• Code Review — reviews and tests generated code
• Validation — checks output for quality issues

Every extracted value is source-grounded, meaning any data point can be traced back to the exact page, paragraph, or cell it came from. The platform also includes self-healing capabilities: when a workflow breaks, Kadoa detects the failure, automatically fixes the code, and logs every change with full context.

Finance-Specific Use Cases

Kadoa's use cases are oriented around investment workflows:

• Investment Research — turn scattered public data into structured, ready-to-use datasets for signal generation
• Real-Time Alerts — detect changes in public sources before they appear in traditional data feeds, with alerts via Slack, email, or webhooks
• Documents & Filings — extract KPIs from global company filings and normalize them into backtesting-ready datasets
• Portfolio Monitoring — track pricing, hiring, and geographic signals across portfolio companies and competitors
• Custom Data Feeds — pre-built and bespoke datasets mapped to tickers and identifiers, delivered to Snowflake, S3, or API

Delivery and Integration Architecture

Kadoa is cloud-native and pushes data directly into S3, Snowflake, BigQuery, or any data warehouse. It also supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) for analyst self-service. The platform includes an observability dashboard for tracking success rate, throughput, and incidents per workflow, with the option to stream metrics into external monitoring stacks. Engineers can migrate existing pipelines into Kadoa and let the platform handle scaling, monitoring, and self-healing.

Enterprise Security and Compliance

Kadoa is SOC 2 Type II certified and built for enterprise deployment requirements:

• SSO/SAML with automated user provisioning (SCIM)
• Granular, customizable user roles
• Strict data isolation with multi-tenant architecture
• Comprehensive compliance and audit logs
• On-premise or private cloud deployment options
• Configurable compliance rules with compliance officer approval before data collection
• Automated robots.txt compliance checks
• Data is never shared between customers or used for AI training

Update: Kadoa Assistant and Web Scraping OS

As of June 2026, Kadoa announced the launch of Kadoa Assistant, powered by what the company describes as a "Web Scraping OS" — a fundamentally new approach to web data extraction. This release introduced the assistant interface for self-serve dataset creation and formalized the operating system framing for the underlying orchestration engine. The platform now runs over 2,000 scrapers for at least one top hedge fund customer, according to a vendor-published testimonial on the homepage.
