7. Let's try a social
network. Buyers and Seller
can join groups and sort one
another and find one another
as they do on social networks
like facebook. But a
dedicated Niche social
site. Instead of a personal
profile, you profile your
house. Instead of a personal
profile, your profile will
describe what you are looking
for. You can join a group of
buyers interested in a
particular town and sellers can
seek you out. Or you can find
people selling in a town and
check out all those homes
then connect directly.

sketched super hero that is

14. Creating new
opportunities to discover
artwork in local venues
At any given time, there are tens of
thousands of artists whose work is
not being seen by potential
collectors. And it’s not because
their work isn’t top-notch, lots of it
is. It’s not seen by collectors
because there’s only a finite
amount of wall space in these art
galleries.
By partnering with the trendiest
New York City venues – hotels,
restaurants, cafes, etc. – we’re
giving local artists an entirely new
channel to show their artwork and
Ari Grazi find new collectors.
