Why Prelude
Built by people who’ve done it before
We built Zenly from zero to tens of millions of users before Snap acquired it. Authentication was a nightmare then. We started Prelude to fix it.
Revenue grew 6x last year
Customer count grew 6x too. We got there by doing one thing well: every OTP arrives, every time, at the cheapest cost available.
Trusted by the apps people actually use
BeReal, Sunday, Suno, and Voodoo all switched to Prelude because SMS was unpredictable and expensive. We fixed both.
$27M raised
Series A led by 20VC, with Singular, Seedcamp, Deel, and FDJ United Ventures.
A diverse team
Gender-balanced, multicultural, and rooted in experience from Snap, Stripe, and Datadog. We work in English.
Paris office
Most of the team works from the office a few days a week.
How we work
Ownership
You own the problem, not just the task. If a customer has an issue at 2am, you want to know about it. You write the postmortem and ship the fix.
Care
A failed OTP blocks a real person from their account. We care about users we have never met. We fix things before customers notice.
Bias for action
Slow is expensive. We ship, learn, and fix. A working prototype beats a perfect proposal every time.
Impact-driven
We work on things that matter. Authentication is how hundreds of millions of people prove who they are every day. Getting it right is worth the effort.
