ArtizenReviews of artizen.fund

This is the most rewarding platform for creatives and innovators and I think it's a community every global citizen or Changemaker should belong to

I've known Rene as one of the visionaries behind the XR era back in 2015, so I was observing the transformation of Artizen through the early stages. Being part of the last seasons helped me to actually see how the system is built and how fundraising is sort of gamified to motivate creators to work with their audiences and fan base/donors by giving a chance to get a bigger piece of the prize fund or matching funds. That's exactly the system we need to motivate ourselves to push more, as Artizen gives us possibilities, but we still have to make our work right and have responsibility for our own projects, not waiting that someone would suddenly donate out of blue.

Love this platform!i

I’m an artist that is 100% convinced and fascinated by this platform! In just three weeks, I earned real money with the platform Artizen and got paid in time. The team and Rene are super friendly and always reachable. The genuinely care. A friend suggested me this platform and I gave it a try. While some people around me didn’t believe the platform at first, Artizen did what it promised and I’m super stoked! Artizen is funded by companies, investors and individual people that want to support real, independent projects—like music, science, technology, and community initiatives that improve the world. I made several experiences with Crowdfunding in the past and the process of funding a project was a lot of work. Crowdfunding usually pays you only what people give. Instead of relying only on what fans donate, Artizen automatically increases the impact of each donation by offering match funds to multiply that support. Every dollar you raise can be doubled or even tripled, depending on the campaign and weekly fund drive. Also Artizen connects with a worldwide community of creators and supporters. If you think “it’s a Ponzi scheme“ or crypto scam it’s not: a Ponzi pays earlier investors with new money and creates no real value. Artizen supports real projects with real money and the matching/prize mechanics are designed to multiply what’s raised, not shuffle it. In my case, I’m funding a music album. The money I raise - supported by sales, match funds, and weekly prizes—is paid out in real US dollars to my bank at the end of a season. A season lasts 6 months, and you can join anytime - at the beginning, middle or end of the season. And the creator, René Pinell, said to me: “Artizen is my life’s work. We’ve already paid out millions, and I’m not going anywhere. The whole point is to help fund your album.” Thank you Rene & the Artizen team!

I had no idea what I was getting into when I joined Artizen.All I knew was that the person who introduced me was having the most incredible results. When you hear stories like that, especially if you've done crowdfunding before, it is easy to be skeptical. I had done a crowdfunding campaign in the past. I poured so much energy into it, rallied my community, exhausted myself, and in the end I did not even get to keep the money I had raised because I did not hit my goal. That experience was incredibly frustrating. It felt like everything rested on my shoulders. Artizen has created a completely different experience. Yes, you are still inviting your community to support your project, but you are not doing it alone. They have created multiple ways for creators to receive funding through match funding, endowments, quests, boosts, weekly opportunities, and creative challenges. It feels like there is always another way to participate and another opportunity to move your project forward. Some people may look at the weekly competitions and think that is what Artizen is all about. I don't see it that way. To me, the gamification is simply another opportunity. It is a bonus. The bigger picture is that the team is constantly looking for new ways to create more opportunities for more creators to get funded. That mindset feels very different. I will also admit that as the season came to an end, there was still a little voice inside me wondering if the money was actually going to land in my bank account. When something feels this innovative, I think it is natural to wonder. It did. The money arrived exactly as promised. The payout process was handled thoughtfully and securely, and that built a tremendous amount of trust for me. What has impressed me just as much as the platform is the team behind it. They genuinely care about the people they are serving. They listen to feedback, ask thoughtful questions, and are willing to change course when they believe something can be better. I have watched them build in real time with transparency, humility, and a genuine desire to create more opportunities for creators to get funded. That gives me tremendous confidence because it feels like they are building this with the community instead of simply building it for the community. The community itself has been one of the biggest surprises. Artizen is not just creating a place to raise money. They are intentionally creating opportunities for creators and fund directors to know one another through events, residencies, retreats, and shared experiences. That commitment to community feels incredibly special. I am really looking forward to attending one of those gatherings, deepening the relationships I have already started, and creating alongside people who genuinely want to see one another succeed. When you first join Artizen, I will be honest, it can feel a little confusing because there is so much happening. My advice is to stick with it. Ask questions. Meet people. Get involved. The community is incredibly generous, and once everything starts to click, you begin to understand what makes this platform so special. I honestly do not think we have seen the best of Artizen yet. I believe it is only going to get better because the leadership is deeply committed to the mission. They genuinely want more creators to have a real chance to get funded. They welcome feedback, they keep learning, and they continue to evolve every season. I am incredibly grateful that I found Artizen, a creative fundraising platform. I am even more grateful that I get to witness what they are building. Most of all, I am grateful they are creating a place where more creators have a real opportunity to bring meaningful projects into the world. I am incredibly bullish on where this company is headed.

Artizen is awesome! The company has great leadership and has been instrumental in helping me actualize my artistic vision for my upcoming live musical. I cannot recommend them enough.

Artizen was recommended to me by a friend, otherwise I might have been a little more hesitant about it. I am making a documentary film and it's never easy getting these types of projects funded. Artizen took me a little while to understand but once I did and was able to figure out the best ways to play the "game", I was able to raise a significant amount of money, over 80k. And I just got the money in my account two days ago! It's been a huge boost to the project and my dreams so I honestly can't recommend it highly enough! - Amos

Amazing fund raising platform, I joined late for season 6 and still raise some money to help fund Hiphop Africa project, and we are still raining in season 7. it might not be for everyone but its definitely for some creatives to find ways to raise funds.
