Masterworks
Masterworks is a New York fintech that lets everyday investors buy fractional shares in multimillion-dollar blue-chip paintings by artists such as Basquiat, Picasso, Warhol and Banksy. Founded in 2017 by serial entrepreneur Scott Lynn, the company buys individual artworks, registers each as a public offering with the SEC, and sells shares for as little as $20, then holds the work for several years before selling it and distributing proceeds. It reached unicorn status in 2021 after a $110M Series A and has grown to more than one million members.
Minted
Minted is a San Francisco design marketplace that turns crowdsourced art from independent artists into holiday cards, wedding invitations, wall art, and home decor printed on demand. Founded in 2007 by Mariam Naficy, the company runs continuous design competitions where its community of 15,000+ artists submit work, customers vote, and winning designs are produced and sold worldwide.
