Our take

Identity infrastructure - used to manage digital identities and online access to companies - is, by its very nature, cut off from other company processes. The necessity of privacy can lead to siloed processes leaving less space for collaboration. That’s why Zitadel wants to provide a unified, transparent and customisable open-source identity platform.

Zitadel’s identity management platform is built upon its native “Go Programming” language and is an open-source project, making it fully customisable and scaleable. To date, the company has over a million downloads, over 200 contributors and 160 enterprise customers. It features customisable login pages, self-hosted security options and foundational layers for full security autonomy.

This approach is interesting because it has the potential to give teams across operations, development and security more space to collaborate. Seed funding awarded to the company in 2024 will be used to boost product development as well as expand Zitadel's team.
