Vaulted for Startups

The challenge

• Early-stage teams default to sharing credentials in Slack because there is no budget or time for a secrets manager
• Rapid hiring means frequently sharing production credentials with new team members through insecure channels
• Shared password docs and spreadsheets become single points of failure that grow more dangerous as the team scales
• Investor and vendor credential exchanges happen over email with no expiration or access controls

How Vaulted helps

• Free and instant — no enterprise contract, no setup, no accounts to provision
• Encrypted self-destructing links replace the habit of pasting credentials into Slack from the first day
• View limits and expiration windows provide basic access control without adopting a full secrets management platform
• Zero-knowledge encryption means even if Vaulted were breached, your secrets remain unreadable
