History

In 2010, the company won the Nova Scotia Co-operative's Best Big Idea 2010 competition [1] and Dyn and CloudCamp's Cloudy Awards 2011. [2] In March 2011, co-founders Milan Vrekic and Tony Abou-Assaleh launched TitanFile publicly. [2] That same month, The Chronicle Herald mentioned TitanFile's support for organizations and individuals to securely share documents. [3]

In August 2011, TitanFile secured a $250,000 CAD seed financing round from Innovacorp, [4] and in December 2011, TitanFile announced their first expansion plans into Kitchener, Ontario. [5] The company was recognized in Canada's Top 25 ICT Up & Coming List by Branham300 [6] and was awarded runner-up in Backbone magazine's Alpha Exchange Innovation Campaign Pitch-Off in Toronto. [7]

On October 11, 2012, the company revealed that it was relaunching the original TitanFile design to accommodate a more collaborative environment for their users. [8] That same day it announced a $1.1 million financing round from investors at Innovacorp, First Angel Network (FAN), and a handful of private investors. [9]

On October 13, 2013, TitanFile released a suite of enterprise features to cater to the needs of modern professional teams. [10] In December 2013, the company was part of the "48 Hours in the Valley" program held in San Francisco. [11] The company finished the year by partnering with Hitachi Solutions America to create a more secure system with enhanced user controls and mobile capabilities. [12]

Product

TitanFile was originally designed to be a robust and reliable one-way file transfer solution for users wishing to send and receive electronic documents that were too big or too confidential for email. [8] The company focused on to accommodate secure client correspondence in 2012. Today, TitanFile is a web and mobile application that combines file management and sharing, instant messaging, and security.[ citation needed]
