Vertical social marketplace for artists and their collectors
Cohart
Cohart is the easiest way to discover, buy, and sell art online. Were backed by top investors like Courtside Ventures and Paris Hilton. We have artists in every continent and have made ~$2M in sales with millennial buyers in our first 2 years all through word of mouth and are gearing up to launch our full product next spring.
For Artists: 84% of artists today don't have gallery representation, and galleries take 50-70% of artists sales. Cohart is the first and only hub to independently sell art without insane commission fees and access essential tools and infrastructure needed to grow art businesses and communities online.
For Buyers: buying art today is impersonal, cold, and noisy. On Cohart, art collecting is easy, social, and personalized for you. As a buyer, you can interact with artists through chats and livestreams, discover art with tech-enabled curation, purchase directly with trust and confidence, and re-sell & manage collections.
For Taste-makers: opinions about what makes art great shouldnt be limited to elite art gatekeepers. On Cohart, iconic taste-makers from culture, like Paris Hilton, become art taste-makers. By sharing what art they love and why they love it, they drive value to pieces or artists theyre passionate about and democratize the art conversation.
