TGV 4 Plus Fund (TGV) has invested $2 million in Printler, a rapidly growing platform that helps independent artists reach a global audience. The investment, a combination of secondaries and a convertible note, is designed to accelerate Printler’s global expansion and refine its AI-driven art platform.
Printler has seen an impressive 73% growth in 2024, significantly outperforming the European e-commerce market, which grew by less than 10%. However, much of the European market remains untapped. With plans for a non-European launch, Printler aims to expand further by leveraging AI technology to match buyers with artists on a global scale. Turnover for 2024 is forecasted at $7 million, with estimates exceeding $10 million in 2025. The company has been cash-flow positive since mid-2023.
Andreas Holmgren, CEO of Printler, said:
“TGV is adding extra power with their global reach and partner network, and I am happy that we could find a way to onboard TGV deeper into the company.”
Printler’s AI platform has already proven effective in connecting customers with artworks that suit their personal preferences. With TGV’s deeper involvement, the company plans to further enhance its AI capabilities, improving the customer experience and scaling its business more efficiently.
Fredrik Adolfsson, TGV’s managing partner, commented:
“Printler’s success so far shows the strength of combining AI with a unique marketplace. We’re excited to help them build on these results. With our global presence, we are confident that we can support Printler in bringing this vision to a much larger audience.”
Andreas Holmgren also discussed Printler’s international ambitions:
“Art is personal. Intelligent technology is crucial to make it easier for buyers to find the pieces that truly resonate with them. With TGV’s global network, we’re able to focus on enhancing these capabilities to offer an even better experience for both artists and art lovers as we continue our international expansion.”
