What Arteïa does

Arteïa is a Brussels-headquartered software company that builds digital infrastructure for the art market. Its platform combines collection management, online viewing rooms, and a digital catalogue raisonné tool with Arteïa Connect, an authentication product that pairs encrypted NFC hardware tags with blockchain-anchored digital passports to bind physical artworks to immutable provenance records. The system is targeted at galleries, artists, collectors, and increasingly luxury brands, and operates on a tiered SaaS pricing model spanning €9.50 (Light), €95 (Standard) and €295 (Premium) per month, augmented by enterprise contracts for larger accounts. The company serves a mix of named galleries (Fabienne Levy Gallery, Galerie Templon), individual artists (Hélène Delprat, Benjamin Spark), large private collectors (Charles Belle with an estimated 30,000 catalogued paintings), and specialist partners (Sculpturest, Napoleon Heirlooms). Onboarding is delivered through direct self-serve sign-up online combined with enterprise sales for larger accounts, and the company offers dedicated support staff for premium tiers.

The business is run by a compact team of approximately 20 employees, with roughly half developers and engineering operations centered in Krakow, Poland. Founding leadership combines Philippe Gellman (CEO), Marek Zabicki (CTO, ~30 years in art management systems), and Olivier Marian (CSO), with capital and reputational backing from the Taittinger family. The company has pursued a non-traditional funding path via an April 2019 initial coin offering, and has assembled a partnership stack spanning insurance (Eeckman Art & Insurance), marketplace access (OwnArt, Art Innovators Alliance), independent authentication (Articheck), and standards-setting (AIS Art Identification Standard consortium with KPMG's The Khube and LHoFT). A Lead Data Scientist on staff supports proprietary deep-learning artwork recognition and recommendation features. Strategic priorities visible in the input data include UK market entry (OwnArt partnership, UK MD Marianne Magnin), luxury vertical extension (Napoleon Heirlooms NFT sale), and consortium-level authentication standardization.

Direct peers

• Verisart: Blockchain-based certificate of authenticity platform for artworks and collectibles. Directly competes with Arteïa Connect on digital provenance and NFT-linked certificates, serving similar artist, gallery, and collector segments.
• Artlogic: Market-leading collection management and gallery website software for art professionals. Closest direct competitor to Arteïa's Collection Management & Showrooms product, serving galleries, dealers, and artists with subscription-based inventory tools.
• Artory: Blockchain-based registry for art provenance and auction records. Competes with Arteïa's authentication and catalogue raisonné offerings, partnering with auction houses to record sales on an immutable ledger.
• Codex Protocol: Blockchain registry and provenance infrastructure for the art and collectibles market. Directly competes with Arteïa Connect on tamper-proof certificates and shared ownership records for high-value physical assets.

Broad incumbents

• Artsy: Global online art marketplace and viewing-room platform with significantly larger scale. Overlaps with Arteïa's Online Viewing Rooms and gallery tools, but Artsy operates a broader marketplace with primary and secondary sales rather than vertical SaaS.
• Artnet: Established art market data, pricing database, and gallery/auction platform. Broader incumbent competing with Arteïa in gallery tools and price research, with a longer operating history and larger gallery network.
• Invaluable: Online auction marketplace connecting sellers with bidders across fine art, antiques, and collectibles. Overlaps with Arteïa's gallery and viewing-room functionality but operates at broader auction scale rather than vertical SaaS.

Emerging players

• Entrupy: AI-powered authentication for luxury goods (handbags, sneakers, watches) using computer vision. Adjacent technology to Arteïa's deep-learning artwork recognition; targets the same luxury-counterfeiting problem from a hardware-free, software-only angle.
• Masterworks: Art investment platform offering fractional ownership of blue-chip artworks. Adjacent to Arteïa's collector-facing tools, addressing the same collector persona but with a financialization angle rather than collection-management SaaS.

Regional players

• Eckart Preuss Art Management: Long-standing art collection management software serving European collectors and corporate collections. Comparable to Arteïa's Collection Management platform but with a regional, traditional-SaaS focus rather than blockchain authentication or AI tooling.
