Co-Founders, Not Vendors
20+ years building software that drives business results. We operate like partners, not contractors.
Our Story
We've been building software for over 20 years. Not as vendors who disappear after launch, but as partners who stick around to ensure your systems work at scale.
Sofmen was founded in Saratoga, California by engineers who preferred solving real problems over pitching decks. Since then, we’ve grown into a trusted partner for companies building software that matters. We’ve supported 10+ successful exits, helped startups reach $5–10M ARR, and built platforms that process millions of transactions daily. But what sets us apart isn’t scale—it’s how we work.
We don’t sit on the outside waiting for specs. We embed. We co-own the roadmap. We flag costly decisions early and fix what others leave behind. When LottoReco needed an AI-driven platform to process 8–10 million transactions a day with zero manual entry, we built it. When Koala Insulation scaled 12,700% in three years, our software helped support every new franchisee.
Over the years, we’ve learned that launch is never the end—it’s where real execution starts. That’s why we’re still supporting platforms we built years ago. When your software is your business, you don’t just need code. You need people who build with long-term outcomes in mind—and stay to make sure they happen.
