Two Years In Coming, Art.sy Finally Brings Pandoras Genome Project To The Wacky World Of Art
At TechCrunch Disrupt NYC in May 2010, a young startup named Art.sy took home the "Rookie Disruptor Award" for its art-focused search engine, which allowed users to find art by style, category, size, color, and more. Art.sy also tapped into users' social graphs to offer personalized recommendations to make art discovery a little less overwhelming.The idea caught the attention of investors, and over the next year-and-a-half, Art.sy raised $7.25 million in two rounds from the likes of Eric Schmidt, Jack Dorsey, Keith Rabois, David Tisch, Charlie Cheever, Dave Morin, Peter Thiel, Josh Kushners Thrive Capital, Wendi Murdoch, and Dasha Zhukova.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/n5ca1PEsW6Y/
