Artfinder
With the online art market set to be worth $9.3B by 2024, it is clear that the sector is embracing digitalisation and Artfinder, a marketplace for affordable art is disrupting the online art sector. The company aims to make art accessible, affordable and is also the art world’s first Certified B Corporation. It is also creating a platform to make being an artist a viable career for more people. Artfinder connects artists and art lovers in hundreds of countries and helps anyone own original and limited edition art from as little as £20.
To date, the startup has raised £5M from Wellington Partners, Oxford Capital and angels and since then has grown its artist and customer base, developed its lean and remote operation and achieved a product-market fit. Amid uncertain times, Artfinder is crowdfunding to help even more artists able to make a living and with the raise intends to accelerate its growth, hire more people and enhance its platform.
