Hawcx, a Los Altos, CA-based passwordless authentication company, raised $3M in pre-seed funding.
The round was led by Engineering Capital, with participation from Boldcap.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate product development, grow its team, and scale sales and marketing initiatives.
Founded in 2023 by Riya Shanmugam, Selva Kumaraswamy, and Ravi Ramaraju, Hawcx is a passwordless authentication platform that allows devs to add just five lines of code to enhance the login experience for their end users to support passwordless authentication across platforms and devices.
Since launching from stealth in April 2024, the company has seen rapid growth in adoption across industries.
