Bringing the art world to web3 with Boris Pevzner, CEO of LiveArtX

Episode Summary

Building two-sided marketplaces is a strength Boris of LiveArtX has leaned into for a number of companies he's built, and he's continuing on that journey with LiveArt. This time, he's focused on bringing the "art world" to web3, and the web3 community to the physical art world.

Episode Notes

The NFT rush has introduced a new community of investors in digital art, while also enabling the "art world" of the past to participate in this wild new landscape. Boris Pevzner, CEO of LiveArt, is building bridges for the "art world" and the physical pieces we've all known for centuries to the fresh landscape that is digit art and NFTs. Utilizing a number of mechanisms, including their team's vast experience via Sotheby's and Christie's auction houses, they have already amassed a large collector base and recently introduced a fresh artist on to the NFT scene. 

It doesn't stop there for the LiveArt team, they've built out a comprehensive price analysis and prediction tool for both digital and physical art, again, with the interest in bridging and growing the pool of opportunity for artists and collectors. While it's an audacious vision, things are already underway, with 750,000 signups for their genesis NFT drop which enables individuals to make claim to their $ART token after a year lock up from today. 

Boris and his team see a much larger vision for even what they've already built out, including the formation of a DAO to run things going forward.
