Artiste Connect: crowdfunding the arts
Crowdfunding is a potentially lucrative source of financing for early stage startups. With software and hardware projects taking center stage at popular hubs like Kickstarter, how about a crowdfunding site for the more artistically inclined?
Kickstarter does have its share of crowd-funded artistic works like books, movies and musical projects. But it’s not always that easy to break into this market. And how about projects that transcend the digital realm, like concert tours, recording sessions and physical copies of artwork? Philippine-based startup Artiste Connect addresses these concerns, by enabling artists and groups to source funding for their projects from their fans.
In essence, Artiste Connect does just what its name says — it connects artists with their fans, to possibly give both sides a richer experience. Fans can feel more invested into their favorite artists, filmmakers, musicians and other groups. Meanwhile, the artists benefit by having a platform for reaching out to their funds for collaboration.
Artiste Connect is a secure funding platform for local artists to support them on their struggle to finance the production of their projects. We support anybody with an artistic, cause-driven or entrepreneurial idea.

「Artiste Connectは地域のアーティストが彼らのプロジェクトの製作資金を得る苦労を軽減するための、安全な資金調達プラットフォームです。我々は、芸術的、主義主張に基づいた、もしくは商業的アイデアを持っている人を誰でもサポートします。」
