Built for the moment when creators stop asking for permission.
Artteom is an ecosystem where competitions, marketplaces, services, and community are all aligned around one simple idea: creators should own more of the value they generate, without being trapped in platforms that treat them as fuel.
We started Artteom because we kept hearing the same story from creators of all kinds: you can either chase visibility on social feeds that pay almost nothing, or you can disappear behind closed doors and hope the right clients, fans, or collaborators magically find you. There should be a third path.
What makes Artteom different from other “creator platforms”
Competitions are not just about a single winner and a forgotten shortlist. On Artteom, they seed careers: marketplace placements, services work, events, and long-term opportunities.
The business model is deliberately structured so that creators keep the bulk of what they earn. Artteom focuses on adding value around the edges rather than taxing the centre.
We care about how a painter in Lagos, a band in São Paulo, a game dev in Seoul, a filmmaker in Nairobi, and a concept artist in Warsaw all experience the platform. Global reach, local realities, and a human tone.
From a simple frustration to a full ecosystem
The starting point was not a business plan; it was conversations. Creators across art, music, games, film, design, writing, and content kept repeating the same issues: fragmented tools, poor payouts, and very little control.
Instead of building a single app, we mapped an ecosystem: competitions, marketplace, services hub, AI studio, global chat, events, and logistics. Each piece reinforcing the others.
The interim site you see today is part of that process – a place to gather interest, test ideas, and invite early adopters to shape what we ship first.
What success looks like to us
We measure success differently from typical platforms. Vanity metrics matter less than the actual impact on the lives of people using Artteom.
- • Creators earning meaningfully more per project or sale than before.
- • Clients and brands finding better work, faster, from a more diverse talent pool.
- • Competitions that feel fair, transparent, and worth investing real effort into.
- • Communities that feel inspiring and constructive instead of draining.
This is the part where you come in
The interim version of Artteom is deliberately transparent: we want you to see what is coming and where it will live in the interface before we switch things on. If something in this vision resonates or clashes with your experience as a creator, we want to hear it now, not after everything is “finished”.
Join the waitlist, tell us how you work today, and what you wish existed. The earlier you plug in, the more your fingerprints will be visible on the final platform.
