Trunk Technologies is a developer tools company building a suite of software products designed to help engineering teams land code faster. Founded in January 2021 and headquartered with a fully remote engineering team, the company targets mid-to-large software organizations that lack the internal infrastructure to replicate the developer experience found at companies like Google. The company raised a $3.25 million seed round from Andreessen Horowitz in January 2021 and had 11 engineers on staff as of November 2021, with plans to grow to 13 by January 2022. Its first product, Trunk Check, is a universal linter that detects and applies static analysis, formatting, and linting tools across every language and technology in a repository. Trunk was pre-revenue at the time of the interview, having only begun external customer outreach approximately two months prior after six months of internal use. The company was founded by four co-founders, each holding an equal 25 percent equity stake, and is led by Eli Schleifer, who previously co-founded Directr in 2011, ran it for three years, and sold it to YouTube.
