    René Pinnell | Co-Founder of Artizen

    Co-founder of Artizen René Pinnell discusses how growing up in an artistic household helped him realize the struggle artists endure to find funding, which helped fuel his desire to start Artizen as a hub for funding human creativity. He shares how Artizen found its early footing after Academy Award-winner Viola Davis helped a campaign go viral, and after overcoming a logistical snafu with Stripe, has gone on to fund over $2 million projects at the epicenter of art, technology, design, and science with well-known talent like Darren Aronofsky, Wu-Tang Clan, and Cate Blanchett. Ultimately, René provides an insightful conversation around what constitutes as art and how tech and art are one and the same.
