Chainguard
Zero-to-low CVE container images and language libraries rebuilt from verified source.
Proof of life. Closed $280M growth round from General Catalyst at a $3.5B valuation, October 2025
Chainguard rebuilds open source (Wolfi, Images, Libraries) from public source with SBOMs and Sigstore attestations, so you start from a clean artifact instead of scanning a fat Debian base. The 2026 Athena coalition is them trying to patch upstream faster than AI-assisted attackers can n-day it. Customers swap the base image; the CVE backlog drops because the component never entered the build.
