Cozi is an American startup company, specializing in family software and online services. The company had 22 full-time employees as of March 28, 2007, and is based in Seattle, WA. Cozi's mission statement is "to enrich the lives of active families by making it easier for them to accomplish what they need and want to do."
Cozi was co-founded by Robbie Cape and Jan Miksovsky after the two of them left Microsoft. Most of the company's employees worked previously at Amazon.com, Expedia.com, or Microsoft. The company's first product, Cozi Central was first released on September 25, 2006, and includes a family calendar, shopping lists, family messaging, and a photo collage screensaver.
[edit] Corporate Culture
Dubbed by Michael Copeland of Business 2.0 as "MySpace for families," Cozi uses Tupperware-style events called Mom's parties to conduct market research.
The company is unusual among start-ups in that it highly prioritizes the family life of employees, and also unusual among software companies in that it employs a roughly equal balance of men and women.
