The Problem


1)
Creatives are short on time, money and want control over how their content and brand is commercialised.

2) Existing “hub” based print platforms commoditise artists and don’t reflect this new reality of individualism.

3) SAAS services such as Shopify, require lengthy upfront setup time, tech knowledge and expensive recurring costs for the Seller.
