New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 15, 2025) - Filo Systems, a leading company on the lossless compression space, has been selected to participate in NetApp's Excellerator program - A flagship accelerator program that focuses on mentoring B2B deep tech startups. The program offers Filo's team with mentorship, technological guidance, and access to NetApp's strong customer and partner ecosystems, on the leading edge of technology development. It is developed around a PoC model, which will enable Filo to extensively test Filo Spaces™ in real-world environments, and finetune its offering and market strategy. As AI reshapes industries, NetApp's initiative ensures that early-stage innovators have the tools and mentorship to lead the charge.

The group of five companies that are part of the latest cohort of the program cover the fields of AI infrastructure, cloud security, data compression, and large language models (LLMs), as follows:

• Filo Systems (data compression)
• Synthefy (multi-modal time series models)
• Sentra (cloud data security)
• TrueFoundry (ML/LLM deployment platform)
• Genloop.ai (customised LLM deployment)

For Etamar Laron, CEO and co-founder of Filo, "We are excited for being selected to the NetApp Excellerator program and be recognized as a leading company developing advanced compression solutions with AI technologies for enterprise customers worldwide. As data usage and storage grows exponentially, compression is increasingly required by all businesses, regardless of their industry. This program will help drive awareness of the unique benefits brought by our advanced solution and increase its flexibility to address diverse use case scenarios, so that customers can focus on their growth rather than on the tech supporting it."

Filo's mission is to enhance business data efficiency by significantly reducing storage and transfer costs, accelerating delivery speeds, and maintaining data integrity. The diversity of use cases where data compression is increasingly an issue range from the most obvious datacenter storage optimization to software transfer, websites and high-resolution images, among many others.
