November 10th, 2022

The company supporting the creator economy was among top applicants selected for Newchip’s online accelerator

Artistree, the first seller-friendly platform for digital creators –letting freelancers accept work safely, get paid fairly, and stay organized– was accepted into Newchip’s renowned global accelerator program. Designed to provide all the skills and tools founders need to rapidly fund, build and scale their companies, past accelerator cohorts averaged more than 17.5 times the average funding amount. The accelerator has helped over 2,500 founders from more than 50 countries and 250 cities raise over $2.2 billion in funding with an estimated portfolio of over $9B.

“Newchip evaluates a diverse number of companies across all industries from around the world, selecting a small percentage to join our accelerator,” says Brian Lee, Head of Product at Newchip. “This strict selection process makes us an ideal partner for investors looking for promising start-ups. Companies specializing within the creator economy, like Artistree, can scale quickly with proper funding and guidance. We are excited for Artistree, and believe they will do well at Newchip.”

“Being accepted into the Newchip Accelerator, we’re excited to connect with investors all over the world. More capital will help us position Artistree to transform the future of the creator economy,” says Ellery Kreloff, CEO. “In less than two months, we’ve had over 10,000 digital creators join Artistree, and that number is growing every day. But, it’s a long road,” she continued. “Partnering with Newchip will help us continue to support these thousands of creators in getting paid fairly for their work.”
