WAYNE, PA — Private investment firm Inverness Graham has announced its acquisition of Cognito Forms, a rapidly growing provider of low-code/no-code workflow automation solutions. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Columbia, SC, Cognito delivers an intuitive platform designed to help small and medium-sized businesses, nonprofit organizations, and government entities streamline data collection, automate complex workflows, and enhance productivity without requiring extensive software development expertise.

The purchase of Cognito represents the first platform investment for Inverness Graham Investments V, underscoring the firm’s commitment to advancing innovative technologies.
With its latest acquisition, Inverness Graham is doubling down on plans to expand Cognito’s feature set, deepen its penetration into vertical markets, and enhance its reach in compliance-focused environments.
