About Prelude
Prelude is on a mission to transform how companies onboard and authenticate users. We help businesses verify their users with greater efficiency, less friction, and stronger security — ultimately increasing conversion rates and reducing costs.
Our flagship product focuses on authentication, enabling companies to send OTP codes with the best price-to-conversion ratio available. We do this by dynamically selecting the most effective delivery channel (e.g. SMS via the optimal carrier vs. WhatsApp), while actively blocking costly spam and fraud attempts that traditional providers often miss. Founded just three years ago, Prelude has already achieved healthy financials and strong product-market fit. But authentication is only the beginning. With a pipeline of bold, market-defining ideas, we’re building the platform for trust at scale — and we’re excited to shape the future of onboarding and user verification with you.
