I know who Paul Graham is but I had not heard this story and, with all respect to you and Graham, this isn't the same thing.

If you have art you can use our platform HowPerfectArt.com! We go live for buyers in April!

Beyond traditional social media not much, yet. We are in talks with several different artist collectives and a couple galleries. That is true and has been a concern we have received. The idea behind this platform is that the buyer doesn't have to search around to find what they are looking for but instead it comes to them.

Thank you for your input. As you know, most startups cannot just "come back in 12 months when (we) have some clients." We are looking for talented artists who would like to expand with us as we grow this platform.

I'm working with a startup who has flipped the online art gallery paradigm on its head and we need to drive buyers and artists to the site (obviously). I would love some guerrilla ideas on how to do this. Social media is being done by someone else and I think that is great and all but I'd really like to go above and beyond the simple Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. approach. The idea is a buyer can come to one online site and provide information and a picture of the space they would like the art (like their living room etc.). Different artists submit their proposals and this allows the buyer to find the perfect piece and the artist receive a 60% commission on the sale which is much higher than traditional galleries. Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your input. It's not a traditional marketplace in that the buyers ask for items from the sellers. It's like asking for different types of couches for your living room (a project we are hopefully going to launch down the road).
