FileMap

FileMap stands as a groundbreaking software solution that is reshaping the way millions of architects, designers, engineers, and innovators handle their files, collaborate, and unlock their creative potential.

FileMap brings unparalleled value to the table with its sophisticated, yet user-friendly interface.

More than just a file manager, FileMap serves as a second brain and collaboration platform for innovation-driven teams.

At its core, FileMap is ingeniously crafted to serve as a single source of truth for modern Renaissance individuals. It not only empowers them with a seamless and efficient platform to manage their files and collaborate but also fosters imagination by providing instant, visual access to their ideas, concepts, experiments, notes, and reflections. This streamlined approach enables users to unleash their creativity across diverse disciplines with ease and confidence.

Team & Vision

At FileMap, our diverse team consists of passionate individuals with extensive backgrounds in architecture, design, and innovation hailing from the heart of Silicon Valley. As a young, dynamic group with exceptional talents, we are currently based in Ankara, but we're preparing for a seamless transition to our San Francisco office as we scale up.

‍

We are dedicated to developing cutting-edge user interfaces and file synchronization technologies, tackling exciting challenges to accelerate the pace of innovation and education. Our initial focus is on serving architecture and design firms, research centers, R&D facilities, and innovation hubs. However, our vision extends far beyond that.

‍

Gradually, we plan to evolve FileMap into the premier project, ideation, and innovation platform for all creative domains. This expansion could potentially pave the way for its integration into operating systems or strategic partnerships with major design-oriented technology companies, particularly those in the Bay Area.

‍

Together, we strive to shape the future of creative collaboration and transform the way innovators in all industries manage their files, share ideas, and bring their visions to life.
