The Smart Bookmarking Tool That Keeps Getting Smarter

Founded out of Cornell University, Stash is an AI-powered bookmarking tool making it easier to organize online content.

Rough Draft Ventures is excited to announce our support of Stash, a smart bookmarking tool helping users better organize and archive online content across devices.

Stash has developed an artificial intelligence engine that understands what you save and automatically sort it for you. Combine that with read-reminders, personalized tags, and social features, and Stash ensures no bookmark gets left behind.

Stash is the smart bookmark that keeps getting smarter. When users first start using Stash, articles are organized into general categories like article, video, recipe, job, etc. As readers add personalized tags, Stash learns how they engage with content and begins to categorize content accordingly.

In addition to this intelligent categorization, Stash has developed a suite of simple features that make for a better bookmarking experience: Stash’s “push to device” feature allows readers to push different pieces of content between devices and it’s “save for later” feature enables readers to set reminders to revisit to unread articles at a later date.

Stash’s “Inbox” feature makes a lot of sense to us, too. Rather than clogging up email inboxes and spreading articles across social platforms, Stash enables you to send links where people already have an organized library. In this sense, Stash has the potential to grow beyond bookmarking and become a central platform for everything you’re reading on the internet.

Stash was founded by Cornell University recent grad Rahul Shah and soon-to-graduate Christopher Goes. The idea evolved from Rahul and Chris’s previous startup Speare, a smart recommendation engine that helped news organizations understand reader behavior to target article recommendations. Stash applies this semantic categorization technology in a consumer-facing form.

The team has a strong technical track record. In high school, Rahul launched PianoPass, an iOS app for storing passwords behind a “piano wall” that reached more than 750K downloads. Chris brings a range of experiences from autonomous vehicles to image recognition to bitcoin.

We’re proud to add Stash to the Rough Draft community, and we look forward to working with them as they move forward. To learn more, check out these profiles in TechCrunch and Fast Co, follow Stash on Twitter @StashHQ, and sign up now to to get on the waitlist!
