Shade lands $14M to let creative teams search their video libraries in plain English

New York startup Shade raised a $14 million round led by Khosla Ventures, Construct Capital, and Bling Capital, bringing total funding to $20 million.

The company offers natural-language video search, auto-tagging, transcription, timestamped comments, and a streamable cloud file system for creative teams.

As media libraries outgrow legacy tools like Dropbox and Google Drive, AI-powered search and workflow features could make asset management faster and easier.
