## Executive Summary

Lineaje sells full-lifecycle software supply chain security to organizations that build, buy, or ship critical software, inventorying open-source components, attesting their integrity, and auto-fixing vulnerabilities, and in 2026 it added UnifAI to govern agentic AI. It has raised $27 million across a seed round and a Series A whose backers included Tenable Ventures, and its founders carry senior pedigrees from earlier security-vendor roles. Customer proof is vendor-published: archived pages carry SBOM360 Hub testimonials from Veritas and Pure Storage, and the firmest traction is a U.S. Air Force contract the CEO describes to a reporter. Most defensible for federal buyers, where SBOM requirements apply, and least proven in the commercial market, where independent validation is absent.
