Space Raises $2.4M Led by a16z Speedrun to Build an AI-Native Filesystem

The world will create and replicate roughly 181 zettabytes of data this year, and it has installed about 12.6 zettabytes of storage capacity in which to keep it. Nearly everything interesting about the last decade of computing is contained in that ratio, because the number on the left is growing far faster than the number on the right, and no amount of cheap capacity closes a gap of fourteen times. Space announced a $2.4 million pre-seed round l…
