Forza Holdings, a structured and specialty private financing investment firm, has announced strategic debt and convertible note investments in KitchenSync, an artificial intelligence (AI) platform specializing in financial reporting and back-office software solutions for the restaurant and hospitality sectors. The firm also facilitated a $10 million strategic credit facility for KitchenSync to support its ongoing expansion.
