What Kalinda does
Kalinda helps class action law firms qualify potential cases in minutes with AI. The nature of class action/mass torts involves thousands of cases for a single lawsuit. For every plaintiff (injured person), law firms involved in these cases compile everything from the products they used to the injuries they have. This data is extensive, granular, and buried deep in thousands of pages of medical, financial, and employment records and others. Kalinda extracts, summarizes, and aggregates data from these records for attorneys with AI. When scaled across an entire litigation, Kalinda works tirelessly and in parallel—turning a process that once took months into just a few hours. Kalinda provides firms with the equivalent manpower of hundreds of paralegals and legal nurses, allowing them to quickly determine which claimants are eligible and helping them file faster and in greater volume. To date, we’ve processed 600k pages of records and are live with 2 of the largest plaintiff law firms in the U.S!

What the role involves
About Kalinda: Problem: The nature of class actions involves thousands of cases for a single lawsuit. For every plaintiff (injured person), law firms involved in these cases compile everything from the products they used to the injuries they have. These firms work tirelessly to get a verbal account from their plaintiffs, follow up again and again to fill the gaps, and eventually record what they need. And that’s only half the supporting evidence — the rest is buried in thousands of pages of medical, financial, and employment records that demand just as much attention. Mission: Over the next decade, Kalinda will accelerate how injured people around the world receive compensation for corporate negligence. Right now, we have too much demand from law firms on our plate, and so we’re building an elite team to grow and scale faster.

With a drive for societal impact. We’re doing more than just building an AI platform for law firms here - it’s a faster path to justice. We’re helping families harmed by corporate negligence receive life-changing compensation sooner, at a moment when it can shift the trajectory of lives forever changed by injuries they can’t recover from.
