Cybersecurity practitioners follow a community-driven approach to problem-solving. They share vulnerabilities with the broader cybersecurity community, allowing companies to patch up security holes before disaster strikes. Prequel aims to bring this approach to software.
Building a database of software failure patterns and misconfigurations in Linux workloads, Prequel relies on a growing community of engineers and developers to exchange information about reliability. This data is then used by Prequel’s software to check for bugs and failures within a company’s existing software stack.
The co-founders, Tony Meehan and Lyndon Brown, both with security backgrounds, noticed a gap in sharing knowledge on software bugs compared to security vulnerabilities. With no progress in this area, they launched Prequel in 2023, operating stealthily until now.
Recently, Prequel announced a $3.3 million seed round led by Work-Bench, with investors including tech and VC heavyweights like Shay Banon and Jon Oberheide. The capital will fuel product development and expand the detection library.
While facing competition from data observability and monitoring products, Prequel stands out by enabling teams to tackle software problems early on, rather than after catastrophic failures. Their subscription-based model focuses on empowering customers to address a wide range of issues efficiently.
Embracing competition as a driver of innovation, Prequel looks forward to a future where more players in this space can elevate industry standards. With the mission of helping teams prioritize and address software failures effectively, Prequel aims to revolutionize the way companies approach reliability in modern applications.
