Sofía is a Mexican health insurance and technology company that provides digital health insurance plans to businesses, individuals, and families. Founded in 2018 by Arturo Sánchez Correa, Manuel Andere, and Sebastián Jiménez-Bonnet, who met while studying applied mathematics at ITAM, the company officially launched its health insurance products in 2020 after receiving regulatory approval. Sofía operates as a licensed health insurer supervised by Mexico's CNSF (Comisión Nacional de Seguros y Fianzas) and is subject to insurance sector regulations rather than the fintech law framework. The company offers comprehensive health plans that include coverage for major and minor medical expenses, preventive care, maternal coverage, and dental memberships. A distinguishing feature of Sofía's model is its integrated telemedicine platform, which provides unlimited video consultations with physicians across more than 70 specialties without additional copayments. Each member is assigned a dedicated physician (Dr. de cabecera) to serve as a consistent point of contact. The company has an internal medical team that develops care protocols deployed through its partner network, SofíaMed, which also provides direct care. Sofía initially focused on serving individuals and families but has expanded its offerings to small and medium-sized enterprises through its SofíaBusiness product, recognizing the growing demand for employee health benefits in Mexico's private sector. As of December 2024, the company had raised approximately $45 million in total funding, including a $13.5 million Series A round led by Index Ventures, Kaszek, and Kfund, bringing total capital raised to $37.5 million according to some sources. Sofía is headquartered in Colonia Roma Norte, Mexico City, and employs between 51 and 112 people according to various sources.
