Recent natural disasters and the ongoing toll of COVID-19 placed a spotlight on just how important it is to be able to quickly and easily access critical personal documents and information. The Prisidio platform is a digital vault that will allow users to identify and store important and disparate documents, contact information for critical people in their life, and inventories and locations of physical and digital items of value – both financial and sentimental. Prisidio will begin rolling out its product to friends and family next month and expects to launch a public beta in early 2022.

Cofounded by two serial entrepreneurs, CEO Glenn Shimkus and CMO Paul Koziarz, Prisidio leadership brings a combined 50 years of document management experience. Prior to launching Prisidio, Shimkus and Koziarz were co-founders of Cartavi, a provider of collaboration services for real estate transactions. Cartavi was also funded by Chicago Ventures and OCA Ventures in 2012, and was acquired by DocuSign in 2013. Following the acquisition, Cartavi became the foundation for DocuSign Rooms, the popular platform for managing documentation for complex transactions.

“Tracking down vital personal information and documents is time-consuming and frustrating, especially when you need to find them fast – and that’s if you can even remember where to look,” said Shimkus. “Prisidio changes all of that with a centralized, secure solution for individuals and families to store, organize, and share their most important personal documents and information in order to collaborate and be prepared for whatever the future may bring. Our platform makes it easy to, for example, snap a photo of your watch or grandma’s pearl necklace, and add a video note about why the item is important to you.”

Launching in 2022, Prisidio’s digital vault will provide users with the following benefits:

• Peace-of-mind: Users can rest easy knowing that their documents such as wills, legal agreements, medical records, birth certificates, tax records, mortgage and lease documents, and more are stored in a safe, secure place.
• Superior organization: Prisidio makes it easy and painless to keep track of physical, digital and crypto/NFT assets via video recordings, photos, and associated documentation, along with the exact location where they are stored.
• Easy and secure sharing: Users can invite others to their digital vault and have full control over what those individuals can see and do. Furthermore, when you invite someone into your Prisidio vault you will have full visibility to see exactly what they have done while in your vault.
• Highly accessible: Prisidio is available via the desktop and mobile phone, so important documents and information can be accessed quickly and easily at all times.
• Fast onboarding: Users can get started fast with Prisidio’s mobile app, and immediately begin uploading important documents, images, and other items.

“A global pandemic and a never-ending series of natural disasters have taught us the importance of preparing for the unthinkable, and Prisidio helps ease the stress that comes with the chaos of locating and organizing important assets,” said Rob Chesney, Partner at Chicago Ventures. “Chicago Ventures is excited to help create a product that will help everyone at all stages of their life. We’re excited to partner with Glenn and Paul again as we believe they are world-class entrepreneurs and are working to address an important global need.”
