Our take

As supply chain issues are becoming one of the greatest stumbling blocks across all industrial sectors, Cofactr’s platform allows companies to quickly search, price, and procure electrical parts from its network of distributors in an attempt to mitigate supply shortages.

While Cofactr hasn’t yet caused much of a stir in industry media, it’s telling that the company has been quietly attracting plenty of VC interest. As well as being selected as a Y Combinator W22 startup, Bain Capital Ventures has shown its faith by investing heavily at the early stages.

As well as potentially having an answer to obvious supply chain issues, Cofactr’s attractiveness may well have something to do with co-founders Matthew Haber and Phillip Gulley, who enjoyed great success with and ultimately sold R&D firm BeSide Digital in 2019.

With plenty of funding secured, the next big steps for Cofactr will be to continually refine its tech performance as the company looks to win more customers and scale up.
