Defense tech innovator r4, which provides streamlined solutions for procuring and managing non-production software licenses, has successfully raised $1 million in seed funding. While the identities of the backers remain undisclosed, the funding is set to fuel the company’s operational expansion and product development initiatives.

Co-founded by Sean Donnelly (CEO) and Luke Zirngibl (CPO), r4 is transforming the way U.S. government organizations, security training providers, and commercial security teams handle software licensing. Its platform, now available in private beta, enables users to efficiently manage software licensing for virtualized network infrastructures, IT tools, and security solutions used in cyber ranges, academic courses, and development environments.

The solution integrates licensing, cost tracking, and asset organization into a single interface. This comprehensive approach aims to address longstanding inefficiencies in managing non-production software environments, ensuring better resource allocation and simplified workflows.

“Our mission is to provide a unified, efficient way for organizations to manage their non-production software tools. By eliminating the complexity of licensing and asset management, we enable teams to focus on their core objectives without unnecessary administrative burdens,” said Sean Donnelly, Co-founder and CEO of r4.

With the additional funding, r4 plans to scale its platform’s capabilities, enhance its application programming interface (API), and expand its market presence. This advancement is expected to benefit a wide range of users, from U.S. government entities to private sector security teams seeking to optimize their IT environments.

As the company continues to refine its offering, r4 is poised to become a critical partner for organizations navigating the challenges of modern software ecosystems.
