Company Overview

Better Auth is a developer of an open-source, framework-agnostic authentication framework for the TypeScript ecosystem. The company provides a library that enables developers to build and integrate authentication systems directly into their applications and databases, rather than relying on third-party services. Key features include email and password sign-on, social logins, multi-factor authentication, and multi-tenancy support. Founded in 2025 by Bereket Engida and KinfeMichael Tariku, the company is part of the Y Combinator (S25) batch and has secured $5 million in seed funding. In addition to its open-source framework, Better Auth is developing a paid infrastructure layer that will offer features such as an admin dashboard, user analytics, and advanced security protections.
