We're Building the Tool
We Always Wished We Had

Two founders. One scaling journey. One problem that slowed everything down: digital chaos.

Our Story

When we scaled our last business from early-stage startup to a company serving 5,000+ customers, we ran into the same issue every growing team eventually faces — what we call admin debt. Highly skilled people spent hours searching for files. Important documents disappeared into folders named final_v2_NEW. Productivity didn't drop because of a lack of talent, but because work slowly drowned in digital chaos.

That's when one thing became painfully clear:

"Even the best teams can't outwork a fundamentally broken way of handling information."

As CEO and CTO, we didn't want to replace our tools. We were happy with Google Drive — it was familiar, flexible, and deeply embedded in how our team worked.

But growth exposed its limits. Structure that depends on manual discipline doesn't scale. Conventions break. Context gets lost. And keeping order quietly turns into work of its own.

The system was the problem — not the people, and not the storage. So instead of migrating everything, we built Filently: an invisible layer that brings automatic structure to the way teams already work.

Filently is the tool we always wished we had while scaling our last business — born from real operational pain and built for how modern teams actually work.

Meet the Founders

We're not figuring things out as we go. We've been here before. We've scaled a company together, built teams and systems under real growth pressure, and learned what it takes to make things work beyond the early stage.

Sophia Falck-Ytter

Co-Founder & Growth Lead

Sophia brings over eight years of experience building and scaling SaaS businesses. In her previous role as CEO, she led the transformation of a service-heavy organization into a profitable, product-led AI SaaS company serving thousands of customers.

At Filently, she leads marketing and growth — translating real operational problems into a product story that resonates with the teams we're building for.

Valentin Uhrmeister

Co-Founder & Tech Lead

Valentin brings over 15 years of experience building and scaling software systems. Across multiple roles as CTO and technical lead, he has designed and operated high-performance SaaS and AI-driven platforms under real growth pressure.

He specializes in building infrastructure that stays invisible to users but remains reliable, secure, and scalable as teams grow. At Filently, he is responsible for architecture, AI, and platform reliability — making sure the system works not just in theory, but every day at scale.

What We Believe

These aren't aspirational statements we put on a wall. They're the principles that guide every decision we make.

Respect for Your Time

Your time is finite and valuable. We build tools that give you time back, not take more of it. If something requires a manual, training session, or complex onboarding, we've failed.

Trust Through Transparency

Your documents contain your business's most sensitive information. We take that responsibility seriously. GDPR compliance, EU-based processing, and data minimization aren't features—they're prerequisites.

Build for Reality, Not Demos

We don't chase impressive demos that fall apart in production. We build for the messy, imperfect reality of how teams actually work.

Our Approach

Why we're building Filently differently than every other Document Management System.

The Anti-DMS Philosophy

Traditional Document Management Systems fail because they demand radical change: migrate your data, abandon your tools, retrain your team.

We believe your existing cloud storage — Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive — should simply be smarter.

Filently doesn't replace your tools. It makes them work the way they always should have.

Automation First, Always

Software shouldn't need managing. Filently is designed to feel like an invisible extension of your file system — removing friction, eliminating manual steps, and making the right thing happen automatically.

If you ever feel like you're configuring Filently instead of benefiting from it, we're not done yet.

Enterprise Standards, Human Experience

We know how to build infrastructure that's secure, scalable, and reliable for thousands of users. But enterprise-grade doesn't have to mean enterprise-complicated.

We believe security and simplicity can coexist.

Swiss Quality, Uncompromising Security

As a Swiss-based company, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of precision, reliability, and privacy.

🇪🇺

EU-Based Processing

All data is processed exclusively on secure servers within the European Union.

🔒

GDPR Excellence

Full compliance with European privacy standards. Your privacy isn't a feature—it's a prerequisite.

🎯

Data Minimization

We follow strict purpose-bound logic. Data is processed for specific tasks and deleted immediately after.

🇨🇭

Swiss Reliability

We apply Swiss quality standards to our code, our security protocols, and our customer relationships.
