Minimus

Minimal hardened container and VM images that cut vulnerability counts in cloud workloads.

Minimus builds container and virtual machine images from source containing only what applications need, stripping out the packages where most CVEs accumulate. Teams swap their base images and watch vulnerability backlogs shrink instead of patching endlessly. It was founded by the team behind Twistlock and launched with a large seed round in 2025.
