Dylibso, a Barcelona, Spain-based WebAssembly (WASM) company, raised $6.6M in funding.
The round was led by Felicis with participation from pre-seed investors boldstart ventures, Pebblebed and Crew Capital.
The company intends to use the funds to expand operations and its business reach.
Founded in 2022 and led by CEO Steve Manuel, Dylibso is the company behind the open source Universal Plug-in System, Extism, and announced the general availability of its first product, Modsurfer, the system of record for WASM. Modsurfer provides dev and ops teams with a system of record plus diagnostics applications to track, investigate, search and validate WebAssembly modules, allowing developers to gain visibility and analytics into their WebAssembly binaries. Key features in Modsurfer include:
- Fully auditable database of modules, specifically indexed for search and debugging;
- Ability to extract critical information from opaque binary format with security scanning and CLI/GitHub action for pipeline integration; and,
- Upgrade path from free to enterprise when headed to production.
Additionally, Modsurfer brings maturity to WebAssembly in four core areas – serverless, browser, plug-ins and Web3/blockchain.
Introduced in December 2022, Extism has experienced rapid adoption and surpassed 1,700 GitHub stars. Powered by WebAssembly, its focus is to make any program extensible by end-users and has been adopted in large projects across GitHub. It is currently receiving community contributions for new language SDKs including Java, C# and Zig which add to 13 other languages, including Go, Rust, Ruby, Python, PHP and more. A key new feature recently made available is the added Host Functions which give users the ability to inject any custom functionality they want to give their plugins access to (e.g. make a database query, use a native function, etc).
The company has offices in Boulder, Colorado, Los Angeles and New Orleans.
