Welcome to the Founders Circle: Join the Revolution
Artteom is building the world’s first platform where creators actually own the platform, shape its direction, and share in its upside. This is your chance to help build a creative home where the rules are set by artists.
The Founders Circle is a limited group of early creators, supporters and partners who will shape the future of Artteom from the ground up. As a Founder, you’ll get lifetime advantages, direct input into features, and a permanent place in the story of the platform.
We’re not looking for passive investors or speculators. We want artists, musicians, designers, coders, filmmakers, writers, and creative allies who believe in a fairer, creator-led ecosystem. If that’s you, read on.
Why Now?
The creative world is at a crossroads. For too long, platforms have extracted value from artists, gatekept opportunity, and funneled profits to a handful of corporations. If you’ve ever wished there was a better way — where creators shape the platform and share in the rewards — this is your moment.
We’re building for the long-term, with a community of creators who want to do things differently. The Founders Circle is not just a badge — it’s a real stake in how Artteom is built, governed, and grown.
If you want to shape the future, this is your invitation to step up.
Every applicant will be vetted to ensure they’re genuinely aligned with the mission. We’re looking for creators and creative allies, not speculators. If you’re accepted, you’ll help shape the platform from the inside.
How We’ll Use the Funds
Every dollar contributed by Founders goes directly into building Artteom. Here’s exactly how the $3M goal will be allocated:
We’re transparent about every cent — so you know you’re supporting real progress, not bloated overhead.
1. Platform Development (70% - $2.1M) Many features already completed
The majority of the funds will be dedicated to building the core features of the platform:
- Tools for creators: User profiles, marketplace for selling digital content, auction systems, and integrated features for art/music/video uploads.
- Mobile app development: Creating a seamless experience on both desktop and mobile.
- Backend infrastructure: Ensuring the platform can handle global traffic with speed, scalability and SECURITY.
We’ll focus on developing tools that empower creators:
- Customizable portfolios for showcasing work.
- Exclusive access to events, auctions, and marketplace listings.
- Revenue sharing models to ensure creators earn what they deserve.
- Creator dashboard: Analytics and tools to help you track engagement, sales, and growth.
2. Legal & Administrative Costs (5% - $150K)
Legal and operational aspects to ensure smooth operations for Artteom:
- Setting up the legal framework for creator ownership.
- Ensuring compliance in various regions for a truly global platform.
- Administrative fees related to platform setup and team expansion.
4. Marketing & Global Expansion (15% – $450K)
Artteom is built to be global from day one — but not in the traditional, money-burning way used by legacy platforms.
This budget is focused on strategic reach, not mass advertising.
We’ll invest in world-class branding and storytelling to make Artteom stand out and attract the right creators and supporters.
Targeted outreach to creative communities in key regions, not just English-speaking markets.
Support for IRL and virtual events, hackathons, showcases, and launches to build momentum.
We’re counting on creators to:
- Share their work
- Invite others in
- Spread the mission
- Build momentum together
We’re not burning millions on ads. We’re building a movement — and that means growth is organic, authentic, and community-driven.
If you want to help lead that, you’re in the right place.
5. Artteom Base & Operations (10% – $300K)
This allocation supports the “base camp” — the team, infrastructure, and essential operations that keep Artteom running and improving.
- Team salaries for a lean, mission-driven core team
- Hosting, cloud, and technical infrastructure
- Community management and support
- Tools for transparency and reporting
We’re not interested in bloated teams or runaway spending. Every role is accountable to the community, and every dollar is tracked.
- No fancy offices
- No executive perks
- No unnecessary overhead
- Founders and team are in it together
- Everyone is accountable for results
This isn’t a corporate playground — it’s a mission.
- Sustainability: We’re building for the long-term, not a quick exit.
- Transparency: You can see where every dollar goes.
When you join as a Founder, you’re helping lay the foundation for a new creative economy.
Without a strong, principled base, nothing else works. That’s why we’re laser-focused on getting the fundamentals right — and why every Founder’s contribution is so crucial.
- Every dollar is a building block
- Every Founder shapes the outcome
