name: Kyte
description: Kyte was a full-stack technology-operations company that delivered rental cars on demand to the customer's door,
  positioning itself for any trip longer than a rideshare — a car for a day, a few days, or longer — with no rental counters,
  no lines and no paperwork. Headquartered in San Francisco, the company combined a consumer mobile and web booking experience
  with its own fleet and delivery operations ("bits and atoms"), and at its peak operated in 14 US markets delivering tens
  of thousands of trips per month. It was a growth-stage portfolio company of Anthemis under that firm's Data, Tech and Infrastructure
  thesis. Kyte was a consumer-facing operator and never published a public developer program, API, SDK or developer portal,
  and as of this enrichment pass its web properties no longer serve the company.

  findings:
  - No api/docs/developers/status subdomain of kyte.com or drivekyte.com appears in any Internet Archive capture.
  - No GitHub organization for the company was found (drivekyte, kyte, kyte-tech all 404 on the GitHub API; the unrelated
    KyteInc org is an aviation/ADS-B project).
  - No first-party packages were found for the company on the public registries.
  - Archived drivekyte.com path inventory (2,544 unique paths) contains only consumer routes plus /partner, /partnerships
    and /docs/privacy-policy — no developer, API or reference surface.
  - Historical kyte.com paths from 2007-2011 belong to a different, earlier company (Kyte Inc., a mobile video publishing
    platform that did ship SDKs) and must not be attributed to this Kyte.
  artifacts_written: none
  reason: Company published no API, SDK, developer portal or event surface, and its domains no longer serve the company; every
    artifact type in the pipeline would require fabrication.
