Speed, security, and scalability — most development, infrastructure, and security teams would say that when it comes to building on top of open source, you have to pick two. Achieving all three? Supposedly impossible.
Chainguard’s co-founders refused to accept that trade-off. Having spent decades building foundational open source projects like Kubernetes, Sigstore, and Distroless, our founders knew that these priorities weren’t in conflict — they were different parts of the same puzzle. They believed it was possible to build products and platforms powered by open source software quickly, securely, and at scale.
So in 2021, Dan Lorenc, Kim Lewandowski, Matt Moore, and Ville Aikas founded Chainguard to build a safe source for open source. Today, Chainguard Containers, Libraries and VMs empower our customers to eliminate software supply chain threats, ship products and platforms faster, and scale the services their users know and love.
Our leadership team brings decades of experience from leading technology, infrastructure, and security companies, united by a passion for building the secure foundation for software development and deployment.
Our values drive our high-performing culture — they guide how we work, support each other, and deliver for our customers.
