Prelay

Prelay was a deal collaboration ("team selling") platform that helped B2B revenue teams coordinate the internal stakeholders behind complex enterprise deals — sales engineers, legal, deal desk, finance, and leadership — inside a shared workspace that plugged into the CRM. Founded 2019 in San Francisco (Y Combinator W20), it was a SaaS application aimed at sales and revenue operations, not a developer/API product. The company has since ceased operations: Y Combinator lists Prelay as Inactive, Crunchbase records it as permanently closed, the github.com/prelay organization was archived on 2025-10-16 with zero public repositories, and as of 2026-08-14 prelay.com and www.prelay.com no longer complete a TLS handshake (the Webflow certificate has been deprovisioned) while app.prelay.com answers 404 for every path. No public developer portal, API reference, OpenAPI/AsyncAPI specification, SDK, MCP server or agent card ever existed, and no api./docs./developers. subdomain resolves. Prelay was surfaced as a portfolio company of General Catalyst and added to the API Evangelist network.

Prelay is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Sales, Revenue Operations, Deal Collaboration, and Team Selling.

  detail: 'Prelay has shut down — Y Combinator lists the W20 company as Inactive and Crunchbase records it as permanently
    closed — and the shutdown is visible in the infrastructure: prelay.com and www.prelay.com still point at the Webflow edge
    but the TLS certificate has been deprovisioned so no HTTPS request completes a handshake, app.prelay.com answers Google''s
    "Page not found" 404 for every path, and the github.com/prelay organization was archived on 2025-10-16 holding zero public
    repositories.'
