We’ve invested in PromptDriven, where prompts are the source of truth, not code

For decades, code has been the source of truth in software. PromptDriven is building a platform for a new era where prompts become the primary primitive, called Prompt-Driven Development (PDD)
PromptDriven believes structured prompts, not code, should define how applications are built. Developers express intent through prompts, and the system turns that intent into working software. The first major use case being used is large scale data and code migrations for cloud companies, and new use cases are being constantly unlocked.
This is not about generating snippets, it is about redefining how software systems are structured. When prompts become the source of truth, iteration accelerates, abstraction improves, and development becomes more accessible without sacrificing power. Founder Greg Tanaka brings product vision and operational experience. He has a clear thesis that prompts are not just inputs to models, in this novel approach
Market traction: PromptDriven recently hosted a hackathon at 500 Global where more than one hundred developers built projects without writing traditional code. They were building functional software through prompts alone.
The company was spotted by Blitzscaling Ventures Chris Yeh thanks to our friends at 500 Global, and our technical advisor Parth reviewed the architecture and highlighted the technical depth behind the simplicity. The system is thoughtfully designed and built for real-world use.
We are excited to partner with Greg and the PromptDriven team as they build in a world where prompts, not code, define the system.
