We’re on a mission to help teams
create and deliver their best work
Great work should never be compromised by delays, confusion, or miscommunication. So we’re making the approval process faster, clearer, and more meaningful for everyone. And by helping people get their best work approved, we’re transforming the finish line into a moment of celebration – the way it should be.
Filestage has simplified the approval process for us and the departments we are working with
See all success storiesOur story
Back in 2014, Niklas Dorn, Maël Frize, and Simon Kontschak, realized that the way people share files and get feedback is a chaotic mess. So with a well-balanced cocktail of marketing strategy, UX design, and software engineering, they decided to do something about it.
Working closely with video production agencies across Europe, they created a prototype for our video commenting tool. For the first time, people could just tap on a video to pause it and add a comment, instead of wasting time writing out timecodes.
And Filestage was born.
Fast-forward a few years and we doubled the size of our team to develop commenting tools for documents, PDFs, images, and audio files. And not long after that, we raised our Series A with Newion, seed+speed, and High-Tech Gründerfonds.
Since then, Filestage has grown into the online proofing software of choice for brands and agencies creating content in regulated industries. Finally, every file created inside or outside your organization can go through the same standardized review process.
Less risk of missed feedback caused by human error.
Less manual effort when sharing files for review.
Just high-quality content, every time.

Our company values
Knowledge seeker
We’re naturally curious and keep asking “why?” until we get to the root of a problem. We learn new things every day by asking tough questions and challenging the status quo.
Reflective thinker
We know feedback helps us grow, so we’re always happy to give and receive it from the rest of the team. And if we make a mistake, we reflect on it so we can do better next time.
Clear communicator
We’re a remote team working all over the world. So we pick our words carefully, give plenty of context and communicate in a way that’s most helpful to the people around us.
Goal owner
We take responsibility for our objectives and relish the freedom of managing our work. We know it’s better to set a few impactful goals than trying to achieve everything.
Problem solver
We understand that every problem is an opportunity to make things better. So we embrace the challenge, get our hands dirty and power through until we find a solution.
Team player
We know a little bit of positivity goes a long way. We respect everyone’s perspective, build trusting relationships and treat each other with honesty, kindness and support.
Join the Filestage family, wherever you are
We believe that life is more meaningful when you have the opportunity to create your best work. So whoever you are, wherever you are in the world, we’ll endeavor to make your time with us as joyful and productive as possible.
