“As the costs of building purpose-built tools keeps coming down, I think you’re going to see a lot of really great software continue to proliferate. “Enterprise search has traditionally been this big bulky IT integration, we’ve changed it to where you can download it and have all your accounts connected and your data synced in five minutes,” CEO Tom Uebel tells TechCrunch.
These learnings pushed the duo to start building their own front-end solution to help users pull up a search bar and find a piece of data within a few milliseconds. Command E’s founders want their product to go beyond data replication, giving users a command line that lets them find everything they need.Ĭo-founders Tom Uebel and Ben Standefer met while working on the engineering team at First Round Capital, building networking tools that could help founders in the network interact with each other. Through the course of their work, Uebel and Standefer became more familiar with the pain points of software integration workflows for different roles in the startup ecosystem. As new challengers seem to pop up daily, a new crop of enterprise tools has emerged that simply focus on ensuring that all of these disparate tools can talk to one another. Now, Command E is ready for more attention as the tool leaves private beta and is available for download on Mac and PC.Ī new generation of workplace tools has been coalescing over the past several years led by consumer-friendly, highly customizable software products like AirTable, Notion and Figma. The small startup had taken a page from other popular workplace software tools, slowly scaling up a passionate base of early beta users in Silicon Valley and cautiously building towards a broader release. For the last two years, SF-based Command E has been quietly building a unified desktop search tool that helps uses quickly scour for files and data sources across nearly every app they use.
