Starchive keeps the archives of the artists, estates and institutions who shaped culture: their recordings, films, photographs and papers. Then Starchive Studios, our creative lab, brings those archives to life.

It started with Bob Dylan

More than ten years ago, we archived Bob Dylan’s entire catalog. It showed us what an archive is worth when it can be found, used and shared, and how rarely that happens.

We built Starchive so every creator can do the same.

What we do

  • The archive

    Every recording, film, photograph and document, previewed and searchable in seconds. It is encrypted on Seagate’s cloud and never shared: your media stays yours.

  • Starchive Studios

    Our creative lab turns an archive into something people can visit: websites, stores, listening rooms and stories, built straight from the files.

  • Apps & integrations

    Studios builds the tools each customer needs and connects Starchive to the services they already use.

Built by Starchive Studios

carlysimon.com

An app Starchive Studios built for Carly Simon on top of her Starchive archive vault: the new album, a first look inside her archive, a store and a members’ sign-in.

What we believe

  1. Every creator’s work matters, not only the icons’.
  2. You decide who sees your work and your data, not a tech company.

The founders

Peter Agelasto

evangelist • inventor • endlessly seeking • archaeologist • founder
living at the extreme edges of media (r)evolution

Making music in a barn-turned-studio, Peter watched musicians pile new lyrics and riffs on top of old ones without ever organizing them. Creators don’t like to organize, he realized, but they love to find what they made, and Starchive grew from that.
