Peggy

Peggy faces intense competition in the emerging online art market space. Artsy is a huge online market that relies on close relationships with galleries and art fairs, and Artfare specializes in in-house curation of local art scenes. Artists can also opt to sell their works directly through social marketplaces such as Etsy, Patreon, or Ko-Fi. However, Peggy hopes to stand out with its digital fingerprinting technology, which uses machine learning and AI to verify the authenticity of the artwork. These works can be traded on its social platform, creating an art market without the need for experts or auction houses.

Having recently raised a round of seed funding led by Real Ventures, Peggy is moving to take on new talent, accelerate growth and development, and expand operations while deepening its relationships with artists and galleries worldwide.
