Artizen Anmeldelser 

I got scammed. On season 7, Renné decided to close the operations and we still didn’t receive our investment money back.

Artizen was a complete scam. Promised matched funding and instead only returned your money with a 10% payment fee. Founder faked a health emergency & ran off with the money.

It's a great place to direct your supporters to, where any contribution a project receives is generously matched, amplifying your runway towards increased chances that things will get done. Try out for yourselves.

I used the Artizen platform to fundraise for the Greenpill Cape Town project and was paid out in full today. The payout process is long and detailed; I had to jump through numerous compliance hoops but so worth it!

Think about abundance for creators and innovative thinkers and Artizen is first place. My favourite feature is how encrypted and automated the platform is. Shouts out to David from Hiphop Africa for introducing us to Artizen. Hats off to Rene

I used this platform to fundraise to attend an education program in Spain through a series of community projects and it was a wonderful experience. Rene was so helpful and prompt with support and it's allowed to me envision fundraising in a whole new way! I couldn't be more thrilled!

Artizen has been the platform that alot of young creatives including myself has longed for, especially coming from where I'm from. Artizen feels like a ray of light that will hold the door for you enough to express your creativity to its fullest potential. I'm super glad to be a part of this community. Cause it means that I get to keep building and helping others knowing fully well that there's a community backing me and excited to see my growth.

Artizen is a deeply rooted arts and technology funding initiative within the public goods ecosystem. While its funding opportunities are valuable, what truly sets it apart is its ability to foster meaningful relationships with fellow artists, technologists, nature enthusiasts, and climate wariors.

Like most major funding platforms in this space, Artizen has a learning curve, but navigating it is absolutely worthwhile. René, Nate, Venus, and the wider community are incredibly supportive—they patiently answer questions, empathise with your challenges, and help you progress as far as you aspire to go.

Beyond funding, Artizen offers so much more. The weekly community meetings, opportunities to share project updates in showcases and workshops, and the wealth of experiences over five to six months each season make it a vibrant and nourishing space to engage with and contribute to.

I’m particularly grateful to René, Artizen’s founder, for his understanding during a difficult period when I struggled to regroup. Building a personal project is never straightforward, and René’s steadfast support—along with his inspiring insights from decades in the field—exemplifies the kind of intimate guidance that makes Artizen special, warm and real.

If you feel your project aligns with their vision and you’re ready for the challenge, I wholeheartedly recommend diving into Artizen. Immerse yourself in its community and embrace the journey of funding and collaboration.

This is the most rewarding platform for creatives and innovators and I think it's a community every global citizen or Changemaker should belong to

I've known Rene as one of the visionaries behind the XR era back in 2015, so I was observing the transformation of Artizen through the early stages. Being part of the last seasons helped me to actually see how the system is built and how fundraising is sort of gamified to motivate creators to work with their audiences and fan base/donors by giving a chance to get a bigger piece of the prize fund or matching funds. That's exactly the system we need to motivate ourselves to push more, as Artizen gives us possibilities, but we still have to make our work right and have responsibility for our own projects, not waiting that someone would suddenly donate out of blue.

My experience with Artizen has been incredibly rewarding. Through their platform, my project “Little Men, Big Dreams – Bloom” received not only financial support but also meaningful recognition for the work we are doing to nurture the dreams, talents and potential of boys who are often overlooked.

What stood out to me was how Artizen treats creators and their stories. The process felt human, transparent and genuinely focused on supporting meaningful creative work. From the funding process to the communication and follow-up, I felt that the team truly cared about the impact behind the project.

Receiving my Season 6 payout was a major milestone for me, but beyond the financial support, what means even more is knowing that Artizen helped amplify a project that is deeply personal and important to the communities we serve.

I’m grateful to the Artizen team for believing in Bloom, supporting the journey, and creating an ecosystem where creators can build, share, and grow.

If you are a creator looking for a platform that goes beyond simply showcasing projects and actually invests in the people and stories behind them, I highly recommend exploring Artizen.

Thank you, Artizen, for believing in what we are building. 💙

I’m an artist that is 100% convinced and fascinated by this platform!
In just three weeks, I earned real money with the platform Artizen and got paid in time. The team and Rene are super friendly and always reachable. The genuinely care.
A friend suggested me this platform and I gave it a try. While some people around me didn’t believe the platform at first, Artizen did what it promised and I’m super stoked!

Artizen is funded by companies, investors and individual people that want to support real, independent projects—like music, science, technology, and community initiatives that improve the world.

I made several experiences with Crowdfunding in the past and the process of funding a project was a lot of work.
Crowdfunding usually pays you only what people give. Instead of relying only on what fans donate, Artizen automatically increases the impact of each donation by offering match funds to multiply that support. Every dollar you raise can be doubled or even tripled, depending on the campaign and weekly fund drive.

Also Artizen connects with a worldwide community of creators and supporters.

If you think “it’s a Ponzi scheme“ or crypto scam it’s not: a Ponzi pays earlier investors with new money and creates no real value. Artizen supports real projects with real money and the matching/prize mechanics are designed to multiply what’s raised, not shuffle it.

In my case, I’m funding a music album. The money I raise - supported by sales, match funds, and weekly prizes—is paid out in real US dollars to my bank at the end of a season. A season lasts 6 months, and you can join anytime - at the beginning, middle or end of the season.

And the creator, René Pinell, said to me: “Artizen is my life’s work. We’ve already paid out millions, and I’m not going anywhere. The whole point is to help fund your album.”

Thank you Rene & the Artizen team!

I had no idea what I was getting into when I joined Artizen.All I knew was that the person who introduced me was having the most incredible results. When you hear stories like that, especially if you've done crowdfunding before, it is easy to be skeptical.

I had done a crowdfunding campaign in the past. I poured so much energy into it, rallied my community, exhausted myself, and in the end I did not even get to keep the money I had raised because I did not hit my goal. That experience was incredibly frustrating. It felt like everything rested on my shoulders.

Artizen has created a completely different experience.

Yes, you are still inviting your community to support your project, but you are not doing it alone. They have created multiple ways for creators to receive funding through match funding, endowments, quests, boosts, weekly opportunities, and creative challenges. It feels like there is always another way to participate and another opportunity to move your project forward.

Some people may look at the weekly competitions and think that is what Artizen is all about. I don't see it that way. To me, the gamification is simply another opportunity. It is a bonus. The bigger picture is that the team is constantly looking for new ways to create more opportunities for more creators to get funded. That mindset feels very different.

I will also admit that as the season came to an end, there was still a little voice inside me wondering if the money was actually going to land in my bank account. When something feels this innovative, I think it is natural to wonder.

It did.

The money arrived exactly as promised. The payout process was handled thoughtfully and securely, and that built a tremendous amount of trust for me.

What has impressed me just as much as the platform is the team behind it.

They genuinely care about the people they are serving. They listen to feedback, ask thoughtful questions, and are willing to change course when they believe something can be better. I have watched them build in real time with transparency, humility, and a genuine desire to create more opportunities for creators to get funded. That gives me tremendous confidence because it feels like they are building this with the community instead of simply building it for the community.

The community itself has been one of the biggest surprises.

Artizen is not just creating a place to raise money. They are intentionally creating opportunities for creators and fund directors to know one another through events, residencies, retreats, and shared experiences. That commitment to community feels incredibly special. I am really looking forward to attending one of those gatherings, deepening the relationships I have already started, and creating alongside people who genuinely want to see one another succeed.

When you first join Artizen, I will be honest, it can feel a little confusing because there is so much happening. My advice is to stick with it. Ask questions. Meet people. Get involved. The community is incredibly generous, and once everything starts to click, you begin to understand what makes this platform so special.

I honestly do not think we have seen the best of Artizen yet. I believe it is only going to get better because the leadership is deeply committed to the mission. They genuinely want more creators to have a real chance to get funded. They welcome feedback, they keep learning, and they continue to evolve every season.

I am incredibly grateful that I found Artizen, a creative fundraising platform. I am even more grateful that I get to witness what they are building. Most of all, I am grateful they are creating a place where more creators have a real opportunity to bring meaningful projects into the world.

I am incredibly bullish on where this company is headed. Best, Brooke E -Our project is Tune In Show -check us out

Artizen is awesome! The company has great leadership and has been instrumental in helping me actualize my artistic vision for my upcoming live musical. I cannot recommend them enough.

Artizen was recommended to me by a friend, otherwise I might have been a little more hesitant about it. I am making a documentary film and it's never easy getting these types of projects funded. Artizen took me a little while to understand but once I did and was able to figure out the best ways to play the "game", I was able to raise a significant amount of money, over 80k. And I just got the money in my account two days ago! It's been a huge boost to the project and my dreams so I honestly can't recommend it highly enough!

Amazing fund raising platform, I joined late for season 6 and still raise some money to help fund Hiphop Africa project, and we are still raining in season 7. it might not be for everyone but its definitely for some creatives to find ways to raise funds.

Rene is great, Artizen is great. Funded multiple projects now successfully through this platform and I’ve participated in the irl events.

Artizen has been instrumental in the evolution of our work as creators, healers and professionals. The funding received allowed us bridge the gap between digital innovation and physical impact, specifically enabling the launch of a physical office for two years where we could experiment with holistic wellness. Beyond the financial support, the team—especially leadership like Rene—is deeply committed to the success of each creator and project goal.

Artizen isn't just a funding platform; it's a launchpad for meaningful, community-focused projects. Highly recommend for any creator looking to scale their vision.

At DreamStarter.xyz we are truly grateful to Artizen for coming into our lives at a most critical juncture, not only giving us the much needed validation we needed as a small team but also funding that will absolutely let us build our vision of AI Agents that make dreams come true for all of humanity.
