About CoFo
The Marketing Partner We Built for Ourselves
The Problem We Couldn’t Solve
As a technology-focused startup preparing to expand internationally, we faced a crisis every founder knows too well: We needed marketing expertise we didn’t have.
Our team was strong in product and technology, but marketing? We were guessing. We knew we needed professional marketing to grow, but we hit three walls:
We couldn’t afford the right person. A senior marketing strategist costs $80-120K annually. For an early-stage startup, that was impossible.
We couldn’t attract the right person. Top marketing talent rarely joins early-stage startups.
We couldn’t find the right alternative. Agencies wanted $5-15K/month. Consultants delivered reports and disappeared. Freelancers couldn’t think strategically.
So We Built It
CoFo wasn’t born from a brilliant business idea or market research. It was born from desperation.
We needed co-founder-level marketing thinking, but nothing existed at our budget. So we built it ourselves.
CoFo is the solution we built to solve our own survival problem. Every feature exists because we needed it:
The strategic thinking—because we didn’t have marketing expertise. The autonomous execution—because we didn’t have time to manage it. The continuous optimization—because we couldn’t afford to waste resources.
We are CoFo’s first and most demanding customer.
Our Mission: Making Enterprise Marketing Accessible
When we saw what CoFo could do for our business, we had a realization: This isn’t just our problem. This is the problem for thousands of startups worldwide.
The marketing gap is widening every year. Enterprise companies spend $500K+ on marketing teams. Startups either burn through limited cash on expensive agencies or struggle with DIY marketing.
Our mission became clear: Give every resource-constrained business access to a marketing co-founder that delivers McKinsey-level strategy and agency-level execution—at a price point that doesn’t require venture funding.
Built by Founders,
for Founderse
We’re not a marketing agency that built an AI tool. We’re founders who needed marketing help we couldn’t afford.
We Know Your Resources Are Limited. We price CoFo at $2K/month because we remember what it feels like to look at a $15K agency proposal and think “that’s our runway.”
We Know Your Time Is Precious. We communicate through simple emails because we know you’re drowning in dashboards already.
We Know You’re Not a Marketer. We built CoFo to bring the expertise you don’t have, not to require expertise you should already have.
The relationship we want with you isn’t vendor-customer. It’s founder-to-founder.
Our Values
These aren’t aspirational statements. These are the principles we live by because we’re building a company we want to exist.
Empathy First
We solve problems we’ve experienced ourselves. We make decisions by asking “what would we want if we were the customer?”
Radical Transparency
You always know what CoFo is doing and why. No black boxes. No hiding behind “proprietary algorithms.” Clear reasoning for every decision.
Pragmatism Over Hype
We focus on solving real problems, not chasing technical trends. If it doesn’t deliver measurable ROI, we don’t build it.
Results Are the Only Metric
We don’t care about vanity metrics. We care about leads generated, revenue influenced, growth achieved.
Continuous Evolution
We get better every day. Not because growth is trendy, but because our customers’ success demands it.
Training and Development
Every decision passes this test: “Would this actually help a resource-constrained founder grow their business?”
Beyond Individual Solutions: The CoFo Network
We’re not just solving the marketing problem for individual businesses. We’re building something bigger.
Growing Together
As more businesses join CoFo, we’re creating the CoFo Network—an interconnected ecosystem where CoFo-powered companies naturally form partnerships, share authority, and grow together.
Think of it as a built-in network of vetted business partners, with intelligent partnership proposals, natural backlink building, and a trust layer that increases everyone’s discoverability as the network grows.
The vision: In five years, being part of the CoFo Network becomes as valuable as the AI co-founder itself.
We’re Not Selling You a Product
We’re inviting you to use the same AI marketing co-founder that’s growing our business right now.
We built something that saved our business. Now we’re sharing it with every founder facing the same wall we hit.
“We’re founders too. We get it.”
