Thomas Bunnik
Angel · Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, The Netherlands · 3 investments in Art startups

International entrepreneurship inspired me since I was young. Investing and leading people caught my significant interest in my early twenties. Technology followed. Lacking a convincing idea to start a business, I looked for opportunities to gain experience.After an invitation to start working at Abn Amro Bank I found my ideal personaldevelopment path. I even let go of my earlier dreams during 8 years as I worked in various roles in investment services, strategy, technology and global product approval governance.When I was 29 I defined an automated solution to make high quality wealth management accessible and affordable for individuals and help them safeguard a healthy financial future. On my 30th birthday I walked into the office of my managing director where I resigned after months of careful consideration, selecting co-founders and build a business plan during the nights and weekends, to start realising my dream to build Pritle.After having laid the foundation in 2014, me and my business partners acquired investment firm Fundix in 2015, which we transformed into Pritle.At its peak, Pritle became the largest independent online wealth manager of continental Europe. In 2017 we sold the company to BinckBank for €12.5 million and helped to integrate the business. Inspired to build another company, in 2018, I resigned from Binck and traveled across Latin America for 2,5 months. I realised I wanted to switch industries and make a positive impact on sustainable life on earth. After considering various ideas and other opportunities, a greatly challenging option made it to #1. In 2019 me and my wife Evelien Bunnik-Remmelts launched the next generation consumer marketplace Whoppah for secondhand design furniture and art. We welcomed a group of highly experienced investors and entrepreneurs supporting Whoppah in various ways. After 3 years we are proud to trade double digit millions of euros per year with insane monthly growth rates.It is an extremely valuable journey perfecting our product-market fit, striving for excellence and accelerating growth internationally. Life is great. Every day is an adventure. Perseverance and thoughtfulness will make you realise your dreams.

Dasha Zhukova
Angel · New York, New York, United States · 2 investments in Art startups

Dasha Zhukova is an entrepreneur and investor whose work is at the intersection of art, architecture, and culture. In 2008, she founded the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow–– an institution committed to providing access to global culture through a rotating exhibition series and creative content production. The iconic RemKoolhaas-designed structure also acts as a home for Russia’s first and only contemporary art archive. Through the Garage Archive Collection, the museum conducts original research and translation to help create a digital platform for the study of postwar contemporary art. Garage has published 130 books and catalogues by authors ranging from Susan Sontag to Walter Benjamin and has had a print run of more than half a million copies distributed worldwide. With education at its core, Garage acts as vehicle for exploration and discovery for nearly a million visitors annually.Dasha led the strategy for cultural urbanization behind the establishment of New Holland Island as the preeminent public recreation space of St. Petersburg. She stewarded the redevelopment of the historic location, founded by Peter the Great in the early 18th century, and directed the project to completion until it opened its doors to visitors in 2011. New Holland Island acts as a point of convergence, with restored classic architecture in dialogue with modern galleries, parks and playgrounds, seasonal festivals, and public art.Motivated to scale access to contemporary culture, Dasha founded Garage Magazine in 2011. Since acquired by Vice Media, Garage Magazine fosters collaborations between established and emerging artists and serves as mechanism for sparking conversation between art, fashion, current events, and content creation. Published bi-annually, Garage Magazine allows readers to immerse themselves in the values of its eponymous museum in the comforts of their own homes.Dasha is a founder of both Artsy, a digital platform that democratizes the process buying and selling art, as well as the IRIS Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the understanding and development of contemporary culture throughout the world. She serves on the Board of Trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Jewish Museum in Moscow, and the Shed, where she is a founding member. Born in Moscow, she was educated in Los Angeles, graduating from UCSB. Dasha lives in New York City with her two children.
