Today we are announcing two new products: Auth API and Intel API.

Everything we have built so far, brought together into one onboarding and trust layer.

Thank you @20vcFund for leading our $20M Series A.

[Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings]

Early-stage investing is very simple.

1. Generational defining founders (top 1%).

2. Directionally correct markets, fast-growing markets.

3. Investment has to be able to return the fund multiple times.

So why did @P_Bonnet just rip a $15M check from 20VC into @UsePrelude.

1. Matias Berny and @Zibra_ are exceptional. The best founders have a sense that winning is inevitable. I know that whatever candidate or customer, I put them in front of, they will close.

2. We are about to see an explosion in the amount of technology created.

Way more apps. Explosion of new security threats.

Twilio (their competitor) has NPS of a South American bank. 😂

Prelude has signed one of the largest social networks and e-commerce players and does many millions in ARR. (I am not allowed to say, despite every ounce of me being to keen to!!)

3. Credit to my partner Paul, he charmed Matias well before a round could come to fruition.

Lesson: If you wait for a "raise" you will always lose. The best rounds are done when there is no round. You can always get a deal done.

P.S. I am so bored and tired of all the BS VC fundraising announcement posts and so hope this was a little more natural with less of the comms BS.

@meetgranola Just started using your app and it's super cool. It really helps with my productivity.

One small issue: It seems that your iOS app is not available in the french region of the App Store. Any plans to release it here as well? 😀

You thought phone verification is boring?

Check out one more way that Prelude innovates the verification space decreasing friction on your app's onboarding flow.

Stay tuned! More exciting things are coming.

Passwords are gone. OTPs should be too.
🚨 Prelude Silent Network Authentication (SNA) just launched in France 🇫🇷

No codes. No delays. No drop-offs.

@UsePrelude One of the long list of things to come that make onboarding frictionless for users. The future looks exciting. 🔥

Everyone thinks Firebase nails SMS auth.

But when one of our customers actually tested it… the results told a different story. 👇
