Prefactor Beta Launches

Building the user layer for software

We've officially launched our beta! 🎉

Over the past two months, our co-founders Matt and Simon have been fully immersed in development, working tirelessly toward our first major milestone. Their dedication has paid off—Prefactor's Beta is now live!

What's happening now

We're actively onboarding companies who want to test and implement our solution in real-world environments. This is your chance to be among the first to experience what we've built.

Check out our new home

Alongside our beta launch, we've unveiled our brand new website: Prefactor.Tech — we invite you to explore it!

The problems Prefactor is built to solve

When building Prefactor, our founders started with a deep understanding of the authentication and authorization challenges that plague modern development teams. These pain points shaped our core product philosophy:

🧩 True flexibility, not false simplicity

While competitors promise ease at the expense of adaptability, Prefactor delivers both. Our solution seamlessly adapts to multi-tenant environments, enterprise security requirements, and complex multi-product architectures—allowing your business requirements to drive implementation, not the limitations of your auth system.

🐞 Transparent and traceable

When authentication fails, every minute counts. Prefactor eliminates the black-box approach of low-code solutions, providing complete visibility into authentication flows and comprehensive debugging tools. Troubleshooting becomes systematic and efficient, not an exercise in frustration.

⚙️ Code-first clarity

Requirements lost in translation lead to delays and errors. Prefactor's code-first approach allows teams to express, version, and share user logic directly, dramatically reducing miscommunication between customers, CSMs, product managers, and engineers. Complex configurations become clear, maintainable code.

💸 Fair, predictable pricing

We've eliminated the growth penalties common in our industry— like SSO paywalls and tiered price jumps. Prefactor's pricing aligns with the value we deliver, ensuring that your success doesn't trigger unexpected costs as you scale.

Our vision: The user layer for software

We're building the unified user layer for software that seamlessly integrates authentication, authorization, and audit capabilities in one cohesive platform, powered by our first-in-market domain-specific language.

Our solution empowers engineers to define their user workflows in code - creating permissions and controls that work seamlessly across humans, AI agents, and non-human identities.

To create a system engineers embed naturally into their application code, making it feel like an extension of their own codebase. Our unified user platform delivers what developers truly need:

 The convenience of a fully-managed solution
 The flexibility to create custom user flows through our powerful domain-specific language

Prefactor’s journey

We're Live! 🎉

Four months of momentum

Since receiving Antler's inception funding, we've:

  • Launched our Closed Beta

  • Unveiled our new website

  • Connected with 60+ investors

  • Refined our go-to-market messaging across multiple channels

Exceeding expectations 🚀

We've delivered 30% more functionality than projected in our November roadmap. Prefactor is built on Elixir—chosen for its exceptional performance in low-latency, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems. While this foundation demanded greater ambition early on, it empowers us to design for global scale from day one.

What's next

We're targeting Open Access in June. Until then, our focus is onboarding as many customers as possible for both testing and production use cases. As recognition for your early commitment, all Closed Beta customers receive exclusive Founders' Pricing.

Available today

Our five core authentication tools are now live:

  • 🔐 Username + Password

  • 🌐 Social Login: Google

  • ✨ Magic Links

  • 🏢 SSO via Microsoft Entra

  • 🔑 One-Time Passcodes (OTP)

We're seeking partners who want to shape Prefactor's future. The earlier we understand your needs, the faster we can build solutions that matter - and deploy them in your environment.
