Cloudtenna offers AI- and metadata-driven search applications that surface files wherever they live across services like Slack, Box, Dropbox, Google Docs and Office 365. The company launched a desktop search application in 2018 and today released a mobile search app called Workspace, which was built from the ground up for mobile collaboration. Its AI uses user history and collaboration patterns to surface the most relevant files regardless of storage location. Cloudtenna was founded in 2016 and currently has nine employees. The company reported an uptick in usage during the pandemic. Financially, it announced a $2.5 million funding round that brings total capital raised to $6.5 million. Cloudtenna, founded by Bryan Pham and Aaron Ganek, develops DirectSearch, a file-search platform that indexes on-premise repositories, cloud file services, and hosted applications. DirectSearch uses machine learning, natural language processing and automation to deliver search results in 400-600 milliseconds and to improve relevance based on context and user behavior. Its single search tool can scan local and network drives, services like Dropbox, Google Drive and Box, and SaaS platforms including Slack, ShareFile and Salesforce. Users can locate files by name, sender, date, type, keyword, content and other attributes regardless of storage location. Nearly 30 beta customers, including universities, online businesses and large enterprises, are using the product ahead of a planned early Q3 2018 release. The company raised $4M in seed funding led by Blazar Ventures with participation from Citrix and will use the proceeds to continue product development.
