Ownership & Acquisition History
cofi.ai is not currently controlled by a private equity firm; available sources indicate it is a privately held, venture-backed software company rather than a PE-owned platform.
Notes
- The company’s About page lists “Founded 2017” and identifies Alex Irigoyen and Fran Espino as co-founders.
- The company website lists an office address in Austin, Texas (used here as the best-supported founding/HQ location from primary sources).
- CB Insights characterizes Cofi (cofi.ai) as having raised seed/VC funding (e.g., $7M seed round) from investors such as Blackhorn Ventures, MetaProp, and Tenacity Venture Capital, which are venture investors rather than a private equity sponsor acquiring controlling ownership.
- No evidence found (in the reviewed sources) of a controlling buyout by a private equity fund/sponsor; therefore the company is treated as not private-equity-owned.
- Founding-year conflict note: Brandfetch lists “Year founded 2020,” but the company’s own About page states 2017; this output uses the company primary source (2017).
