Space raises $2.4M to abolish the hard drive with an AI-native filesystem for humans and agents
Every few years, someone promises to abolish the hard drive. The latest is Space, a San Francisco startup coming out of stealth with $2.4m in pre-seed funding and an unusually literal pitch: a distributed filesystem that lets people and AI agents work across petabytes of live data while using, the company claims, zero local disk space.
