Artfield Investments

What Artfield Investments does

Artfield Investments is a privately held micro-cap advisory firm founded in 1995/1996 and headquartered in Glendale, California, with 1-10 employees. The firm provides consulting services for private companies seeking to go public through SEC filings (15c2-11, SB-2, Form 10), reverse mergers, and capital raises, as well as ongoing advisory for existing public companies on restructuring, M&A, and investor relations. Its core operating model is a referral-orchestration business: rather than executing all services in-house, Artfield coordinates a curated network of 200+ investment bankers, 100+ VC firms, 15+ market makers, 5 SEC attorneys on retainer, 10+ accounting firms, and 20+ IR/PR firms to deliver a "one stop shopping" experience for clients. The firm claims $1 billion+ in cumulative capital raised for clients across European listings and operates an associate company (Artfield Investments RD Inc., formed 1998) for European exchange access including Frankfurt, Berlin, London AIM, and Euronext.

The business generates revenue through professional services fees structured as flat-fee-plus-equity packages for going-public engagements, plus unit-priced ancillary services including article distribution ($1,000-$10,000), research reports ($3,500), radio interview packages ($1,000-$10,000+), SEO blog services ($5,000-$10,000), email campaigns to stockbrokers ($4,000), and EDGAR filing services ($7.50/page). Capital raise referrals yield affiliate/performance fees including 10% commissions on unsecured loans up to $500,000 and performance fees on capital placement. The go-to-market motion combines direct phone/email sales-led consulting (free initial consultation at 818-242-0522 x 401), a 10% commission affiliate program, content marketing via industry blog (gopublicbookstore.info), and educational content positioning around "GoPublicScamsExposed." The firm also offers subscription-based notification memos for reverse merger candidates, public shells, and acquisition prospects.

The technology footprint is minimal — no proprietary platform, no software products, no AI/ML capabilities, and no disclosed patents or proprietary features. Competitive positioning rests entirely on the depth of the professional referral network, 25+ years of regulatory filing experience, and a stated arms-length policy on referral commissions. The firm has no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, and operates as a founder-led practice (President Charlene Kay; senior consultant Stan Medley).
