About ClaimKit
Summary
ClaimKit prepares federal and state R&D tax credit claims for hardware tech companies, combining AI-generated documentation with review by former R&D tax consultants. It targets the work traditionally done by accounting firms and specialist consultants: gathering evidence, identifying qualifying research expenses, and producing the filings. Finance teams and founders use it instead of engaging an external firm for the same engagement.
Business model
A fee per R&D credit claim prepared
Go-to-market
Hardware tech founders and their finance teams book a demo or sign up directly on the website, making it self-serve with an expert review layer built in.
