Our Story

CleanStart was founded by security experts with over two decades of industry experience. In their long careers, they saw that no one was addressing security at the base level—where it matters most. CleanStart set out to solve this, delivering images that are optimally debloated, compliant, and achieve near zero CVEs, setting a new standard for security and efficiency

Our mission

We're on a mission to make software supply chain security effortless, effective, and invisible—so developers can move fast without leaving security behind.
