About

Slide, which operates as Project Orca, Inc., builds backup, disaster recovery and continuity (BCDR) infrastructure for managed service providers. It sells a flash-based backup appliance paired with a cloud console and open API, with data encrypted end to end by default. The company was founded by Datto veterans Austin McChord and Michael Fass and launched publicly in February 2025, and says it serves more than 1,000 MSPs. It is headquartered in Westport, Connecticut, with an additional office in Maidenhead, UK.

A clean-sheet BCDR stack — all-flash appliances, always-on encryption, an open API and month-to-month pricing with unlimited agents — aimed squarely at MSPs stuck on slow, unencrypted legacy backup platforms.
