About Lineaje

Lineaje Inc. operates as a provider of continuous software supply chain security management solutions, targeting companies that either build, buy, or utilize software. Founded in 2021 by Javed Hasan and Anand Revashetti, the company emerged to address the growing threat of supply chain attacks that existing cybersecurity tools were failing to prevent. CEO Javed Hasan brings over two decades of experience from executive roles at cybersecurity firms like Symantec, McAfee, and Trellix. His journey to founding Lineaje stemmed from a desire to create a novel solution for a complex problem, realizing that securing the software supply chain required understanding the complete lineage of software components.

The company's business model centers on its comprehensive governance platform that helps organizations manage the integrity and security of their software development and procurement processes. Lineaje serves a broad clientele, including top technology firms, financial institutions, and public sector organizations that need to secure critical code and manage extensive software portfolios. The firm has achieved significant financial milestones, securing a $7 million seed round in February 2023, followed by a $20 million Series A round in July 2024, bringing its total funding to $27 million. This capital is aimed at accelerating global expansion, customer acquisition, and advancing its AI-powered platform.

Lineaje's product suite provides a full-lifecycle approach to software supply chain security. Its flagship product, SBOM360, is a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) manager that allows organizations to discover, assess, and manage the components of all software, whether built in-house or acquired from third parties. The platform includes SBOM360 Hub, a secure repository for sharing SBOMs and compliance artifacts between software producers and consumers, which helps organizations comply with regulations like the US Executive Order 14028. Other key products include an Open-Source Manager (OSM) for handling risks in open-source components and a Third-Party Risk Manager (TPRM). A unique feature is its AI-driven automation bots, known as "BOMbots," which provide intelligent recommendations and can autonomously find and fix security risks, allowing code to self-heal. This technology uses a proprietary fingerprinting method to attest to the authenticity of every component in the dependency chain, a capability that sets it apart in the market.
