About Prelude
Prelude's product is the signup check: its API sends one-time passcodes over SMS, WhatsApp, RCS, Telegram, Viber and other channels, routes each code through whichever carrier and channel gets it delivered, and stops SMS pumping, bots and fake accounts, with Auth, Watch, Intel and Notify products built around it. Founded in 2022 by former Zenly people, it names BeReal, Sunday, Suno and Voodoo as customers, says revenue and customer count grew 6x across 2025, and raised a Series A led by 20VC. Pricing runs from pay-as-you-go per verification through a €360 monthly startup plan to enterprise contracts on committed volume, and the sales team is segmented by deal size: velocity account executives close SMB deals at volume off their own cold calls, email and LinkedIn, mid-market AEs run multi-stakeholder evaluations alongside the technical team, and one of its first enterprise AEs opens international accounts working directly with the founders. All seven sales openings are in Paris and are split by language: three mid-market AEs (German, English and French speakers), two velocity SMB AEs (one English, one French and English), the enterprise AE for international markets, and a French-speaking BDR who feeds pipeline to the AEs and closes smaller deals end to end. The working language is English, on a team of about 60 drawn from more than 25 nationalities.

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.
