Shade provides a cloud storage and collaboration platform tailored to agencies, sports media teams, brands, real estate firms, and podcasters, emphasizing natural-language search, auto-tagging, and video transcription that surfaces exact timestamps for matched scenes. Its streamable filesystem lets users mount cloud storage to a local filesystem and begin working on large files before full download, with options to pin files for low-bandwidth access. Collaboration features include timestamped feedback, attachable files in comments, multiple share links with permissions, and branded, password-protected collections with expiry for client deliveries. Pricing for small teams includes a $20 per seat per month plan with unlimited drives, unlimited AI indexing, and 500GB of active storage per seat, supporting up to 15 seats per workspace and 150 guests. Shade faces competitors such as Poly and Memories.ai and plans to extend search across images, videos, and documents and to build a no-code workflow automation layer. The company has raised $20 million in total to date.
