About
Leela builds and runs compliance programs for regulated financial businesses such as payments companies and the banks that sponsor them. Starting from a company's policies, agreements and licenses, it works out which obligations apply, then drafts, routes and follows up on the work across the company's systems, keeping the approvals and evidence that show it was done.
Preeti Krishnan, a former COO of Kafene who ran operations at DailyPay and practiced law at Lowenstein Sandler, started Leela in New York with Frank Kim, a co-founder of QL Gaming Group. Former SEC and CFTC commissioners review how it interprets the rules.
Array was the sole investor in Leela's pre-seed round in 2026.
