AI you can defend in front of your board

Sourced

Every score and every watch point links back to the passage of the application it came from.

Human-reviewed

The AI prepares drafts. Your reviewers edit, your committee decides — always.

Guarded against prompt injection

Application content is passed as data, never as instructions: the model is told to ignore any order slipped into a dossier.

Your model, your key

Mistral AI by default, or the compatible provider of your choice. Your API key is encrypted at rest (AES-256).

Skills-based sponsorship

Give time,
not only money.

A company seconds its employees to an association. KelpFund follows the mission end to end and produces the tax receipt from hours the beneficiary actually approved.

An estimate at the rate set by article 238 bis of the French tax code. The statutory ceilings (3 × PASS per employee, and the greater of €20,000 or 0.5% of turnover) are applied inside the product, from the hours the association has approved.

The receipt is computed server-side from approved hours only, legal ceilings included. KelpFund never values time that was not signed off.
