  • Alphaa.io — Problem: Filling walls at scale is an expensive, limited and localized process. Options are either expensive art or posters which are detrimental to design concepts. Artists have limited access to the market.Solution: Alpha’a is one of the largest art collectives in the world, but holding no inventory. A cloud based platform that offers thequality of a gallery, with the speed of online, high customization and accessible pricing. Open to all artists, licensing artwork and dropshipping limited edition prints in 3 continents. Why now? The entire art market has had to go online overnight, where we’ve always operated as a virtual platform. We can provide global reach for thousands of artists and art institutions worldwide creating a steady source of revenue for creatives.Market Size The interior and furnishing market have around 96 billion in sales a yearout of which 5% is art. Combination of this and the hospitality industry (number of new hotel rooms under construction) leads to a addressable market of around 6 Billion. Our current client pool has a combined revenue potential of $130MM.Competition & Differentiation Companies like artsy work with the expensive art galleries and art advisors as a white pages, they don’t provide customizable solutions which are essential in the design process. On Alpha’a every artwork can be produced in any size or medium. Companies like society 6 provide affordable solutions which are completely disposable on alpha’a every artwork purchased brings with it the image copyright in perpetuity.Business Model We’re an inverted marketplace, we outsource production of all our works to suppliers in 3 continents.Team Manuela Seve, CEO, 5 years experience in South America’s leading hedge fund.
