What Archive does

Archive (legally Archive Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation) is a private AI-powered creator marketing platform that serves e-commerce and consumer brands—particularly those with $20M+ in annual revenue and active creator programs on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts. The platform unifies four workflows that are typically fragmented across spreadsheets, DMs, and agencies: AI-driven social listening (including detection of brand mentions in untagged short-form video via Archive Radar), creator discovery with lookalike matching, automated campaign reporting, and UGC usage-rights / whitelisting automation. AI operates multimodally across video, audio, and text to convert detected posts into searchable data, and powers generative outputs such as AI Insider weekly reports and Deep Research strategic briefs.

The product is built as a SaaS platform accessed via app.archive.com. Customers subscribe on a monthly-in-advance basis with plan tiers including Startup, Growth, Enterprise, Agency, and Custom, and Custom usage-rights terms are restricted to the Enterprise plan. Archive is sold through a demo-first enterprise field-sales motion targeted at marketing, influencer, and community teams; over 1,000 brands are claimed as customers, with named references including Allbirds, Momofuku, Grüns, Ketone-IQ, Immi, Uniqlo, Ruggable, Kitsch, and Moose Toys. Geographic operations span the US, UK, Germany, France, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Brazil, and Argentina, supported by SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, PIPEDA, and PDPA compliance.

The company was co-founded by Paul Benigeri (CEO, Stanford AI/CS background) and Geoff, who previously built an 8-figure e-commerce brand. In March 2022 Archive raised a $12M funding round led by Stripe and Tiger Global with Human Capital, Battery Ventures, Lux Capital, Anti Fund, and 50+ executives from companies such as Attentive, Brex, and Ramp. The team is 11-50, remote-first with headquarters in New York, and operates across functions of engineering, design, customer success, sales, marketing, and revenue operations.
