About Cognition
Cognition is an American artificial-intelligence company founded in 2023 and led by co-founder and chief executive Scott Wu. It develops Devin, an autonomous software-engineering agent that plans, writes and tests code, and it acquired the Windsurf coding platform in 2025. Cognition sells its products to software teams and large enterprises, positioning its agents as collaborators that complete longer engineering tasks rather than only suggesting individual lines of code. The company remains privately held and has not announced an initial public offering. No reliable public pre-IPO derivative currently prices its equity, so this page uses the latest funding-round valuation rather than a live market price.
