@andreas_nielsen Thanks! :) That really means a lot. I have to admit I'm quite satisfied with what we got ;)
A: Actually we try to make it as easy as possible for the artist that we collaborate with. That means that we handle marketing, production, customer relationship and distribution, so the artists can focus on doing what they do best, which is creative awesome art that will inspire the world to do better :D

Hello Product Hunters!
I'm Mikkel Steen co-founder of the new crowdfunding platform for art - Artstarter.
The team and I are incredibly excited to be on PH today.
We want to make art available to everyone!
We created, what we think is, an amazing platform where people can preorder limited edition artworks from some of the best artists in the world and I think we already have a nice line-up! :D
Please check it out and we are open to all of your feedback :)
And AMA, we'll be available all day to answer any questions you might have e.g.:
Q "who is the tallest of the founders?"
A "That would have to be me ;)
You guys rock!
@jpvalery Thanks! :D All kinds of art is welcome - we do already have a couple of photography Artstarters as you can see here https://artstarter.io/campaigns?...
The platform is international and we already collaborate from artists from Japan, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Denmark and USA to name a few.
You can find more information on how to join in the FAQ at the bottom :)

Hey Mikkel, this is awesome! Just signed up for the Hornsleth contest.
It took me about a minute to find out what it was all about. I highly recommend you to state more clearly "above the fold", what you do and what's the benefit. You'll lose lots of people if they have to see the About or FAQ page. I actually find it quite fun, that the most frequently asked question is: "What is Artstarter" ..
I would go for something like:
A crowdfunding-platform for art
Buy limited edition art from selected international artists
Best of luck from a Danish art lover.

I love the idea - but will there be a channel within the site to acquire the original works from the artists? it appears to revolve around prints only
@passingnotes thanks a lot! 😊 actually there is such a channel allready since Artstarter runs together with Artboost, which provides exactly the service you're talking about 😊 thanks for the feedback!

Looking forward to follow your journey!
Have you thought about featuring and selling other limited products? Another cool feature could also be to suggest an artist, and then let the demand drive new artists to the platform

This is truly awesome!
What kinds of payment do you accept? :)
@mastergaard Thanks a lot Mathias! :D Right now we accept all types of credit cards and are looking into accepting bitcoins behind the scenes ;)
Art for bitcoins - how cool is that? :D
Report
@mikkel_steen That should do ;)
And the bitcoin would be a great addition as well :D
Do you track down the artists or are they applying to start a campaign themselves?
@mastergaard Actually it has been a mix. We've used our network from the Artboost project to find amazing artists, which we could make special deals with to make their art affordable for the masses :)
But cool artist are also starting to reach out and I promise that it's also the top of the iceberg we're showing right now ;)

@mikkel_steen Sounds great!
I'm looking forward to browsing all those artworks! :D
