Tanka, Inc.

Tanka, Inc. is a United States-based artificial intelligence startup founded in 2024 by entrepreneur Kisson Lin, known for his prior roles at Meta and TikTok. The company is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, specifically Berkeley and Redwood City, California. Tanka was established with the mission to address challenges in fragmented business communications by providing a memory-first, multi-channel platform that consolidates company knowledge into a structured and persistent "MemoryGraph." The company publicly introduced its AI-powered collaboration tool in June 2025 at TechCrunch Sessions: AI at UC Berkeley, targeting early-stage startups and fast-scaling teams requiring speed, clarity, and execution capabilities.

Tanka's proprietary technology, EverMemOS, serves as an operational core rather than a simple AI assistant, enabling companies to generate investor materials, onboarding documentation, product roadmaps, and synthesize internal insights automatically. Since launch, the platform has expanded to include vertical AI agents focusing on Fundraising, Go-To-Market strategies, Hiring, and Product development. These agents utilize persistent long-term memory and comply with rigorous security and data privacy standards. The company operates on a subscription-based business model featuring tiered plans, free trials, agent add-ons, and enterprise options, alongside a forthcoming "Agent Store" marketplace for specialized AI assistants.

Tanka primarily serves startup founders, early-stage teams, and entrepreneurs, as well as fast-growing small and medium businesses and distributed organizations. Its solutions target both non-technical and semi-technical users seeking integrated, no-code AI co-pilot tools for enhancing communication, onboarding, fundraising, and workflow management. While the company remains early stage with a seed funding status, it has established partnerships such as with GRAB Ventures, though detailed funding amounts and full investor lists are not publicly available. Tanka maintains an active presence on Twitter and LinkedIn but does not have dedicated official accounts on Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube.
