Treasure Investments Corporation

What Treasure Investments Corporation does

Treasure Investments Corporation (TIC) is a privately-held fine art bronze sculpture company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Battle Ground, Washington. The company operates through four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Foundry Michelangelo (an in-house commercial bronze casting foundry), Lorenzo E. Ghiglieri Raisonné (an artist cataloging subsidiary), Global Art Authority (an art marketplace authority and publishing brand), and Foundation Michelangelo (a foundation focused on art auctions and charity events). TIC manages the full creation-to-casting-to-sale workflow and offers nearly 2,000 unique bronze sculpture pieces created in collaboration with over 230 artists, including named collaborators Lorenzo Ghiglieri, Laran Ghiglieri, and Rebecca Clark.

The company sells primarily to two customer groups. The primary segment is fine art collectors — TIC claims more than 1,000 collectors worldwide including celebrities — purchasing unique or limited edition bronze sculptures directly through the Foundry Michelangelo e-commerce website and at trade shows such as FreedomFest. A secondary segment consists of nonprofit and charity organizations (e.g., Lake of the Ozarks Shootout, Tampa Bay Safari Club, Kenai Peninsula Chapter of Safari Clubs International) that acquire sculptures through Foundation Michelangelo to use as auction items in annual fundraising events, with multi-year relationships documented in several cases. Revenue is one-time, transaction-based with custom pricing per piece; no recurring subscription or licensing model is in use.

The company is founder-led by Mark Russo (Founder, Chairman, CEO), operates with 51-100 employees, and has raised $970,000 in disclosed equity funding (a single round in August 2017). It maintains a social and content presence on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, and publishes an "In The Know" blog covering trade shows and project updates. No AI/ML, data, or software platform capabilities are disclosed; the business is fundamentally an artisanal manufacturing and art distribution operation.

Direct peers

• Pangolin Editions: One of Europe's leading bronze foundries and sculpture fabrication studios. Highly comparable to Foundry Michelangelo given its role as an in-house production arm that casts limited-edition and one-of-a-kind works for named artists and galleries.
• Tallix Foundry: US-based fine art bronze foundry serving major sculptors and galleries. Mirrors TIC's vertically integrated model of in-house casting for collaborating artists, making production capability rather than retail distribution the core overlap.
• Artworks Foundry: Sculpture and bronze art foundry serving fine artists and collectors. Overlaps with TIC on the production side and on its ability to channel finished works into the collector market via related exhibition and sales services.

Emerging players

• Artsy: Online art marketplace and editorial platform used by galleries and collectors. Overlaps with TIC's collector acquisition channel by providing an alternative discovery and sales surface for fine sculpture buyers.
• 1stDibs: Online marketplace for luxury furniture, art, and decor that includes sculpture listings. Comparable as a digital distribution competitor for high-end HNW buyers TIC targets via Foundry Michelangelo e-commerce.

Broad incumbents

• Artnet: Online art marketplace and auction platform with gallery network and price database. Comparable as an incumbent digital channel for collectors shopping for sculpture and comparable fine-art assets.
• Bonhams: International auction house with active fine art and sculpture categories. Competes with TIC for similar collector dollars and offers charity/benefit auction services that overlap with Foundation Michelangelo.
• Sotheby's: Global auction house transacting high-end fine art including sculpture. Comparable as a competing sales channel for the same high-net-worth collectors and nonprofit fundraising consignors that buy from Treasure Investments' Foundation Michelangelo.
• Christie's: Global auction house for fine and decorative art with active sculpture categories. Comparable as an incumbent channel competing with both TIC's e-commerce direct sales and its charity auction placements.
• Heritage Auctions: Large US-based auction house with strong Americana, Western, and wildlife art categories that overlap with the thematic content of Laran and Lorenzo Ghiglieri sculptures sold by TIC.
