Praise for Arthena
“It is immensely gratifying to see how Arthena has developed a unique product that brings access and transparency to the art industry.”
Luis Trevino, Sr. Managing Director, Beamonte Investments
“By combining access, expertise, and crowdfunding, [Arthena] seeks to give investors access to asset-class artwork with leaders from the art world through their platform. ”
Crowdfund Insider
"Arthena is a project that’s got everybody buzzing. We may just be looking at the future of the art market - one that’s far more inclusive, savvy, and dynamically engaging to a growing population of future collectors."
Art Law Journal
"There seems to be a mismatch between what clients/potential investors are looking for and what the art fund industry is offering. For the art fund industry to evolve, a rethink of the current art fund model is probably required, which needs to incorporate the reasons why art collectors buy art in the first place."
Deloitte & Arttactic Art and Finance Report 2014
"What D'Angelo is building is an entirely new way to be an art collector, one that lets go of the ego contests of old, and is built for the digital age."
Business Insider
"Crowdfunding regulations have democratized access to startups through platforms like AngelList. We believe that art as an asset class is next in line. Madelaine's industry background and technology understanding make her the right person to make this happen. The art experts and investors who she has brought to Arthena so far signal a very promising future."
Cankut Durgan
“Arthena is mixing crowdfunding and fine art to create a modern masterpiece.”
