Space develops an AI-native filesystem that sits above the operating system to let applications, people, and agents access cloud-hosted files as if they were local without full-file downloads or duplicated copies. Files appear in native file browsers and open in existing applications while Space streams only the exact byte ranges required in real time. The company launched a prototype in November 2025 and is currently in private beta with roughly 100 users and teams and an organic audience of over 80,000. Founders Matthew Ao, Arihant Bapna, and Jason Zhao built the product from operational pain points encountered while working with terabytes of media. After raising a $2.4M pre-seed led by a16z Speedrun, Space plans to focus initial go-to-market efforts on video, marketing, and AEC industries and then expand into AI training-data infrastructure, media and entertainment, and other data-intensive workflows.
