How It All Started

“During my decades of work as a CPA and auditor, I had the privilege of working with many organizations and communities. I repeatedly saw capable people struggling with essential processes because information was stored in paper files, systems were disconnected, and access depended on limited office hours or long travel distances.

The problem was rarely a lack of commitment. The systems simply had not kept pace with the people they were intended to serve.

I began to see how practical, thoughtfully designed technology could reduce administrative burdens, improve access, and help organizations serve their communities more effectively.

That realization planted the seed for Kodee. I believed technology should make complex work simpler, more accessible, and more equitable—not create another obstacle.

Kodee was built from that belief.”

The Story Behind the Mission

Kodee began with a simple belief: people should not be limited by outdated systems, distance, or environments that were never designed for them.

In her TEDx talk, “The Wrong Room,” Kodee founder EJ Egghart shares how perceived weaknesses can become strengths when people are given the right environment, tools, and opportunities.
