Talenthouse is an art networking site.
The company’s suite of products and services unlock opportunity for artists, major brands and mainstream audiences. A community of Talenthouse artists retain ownership of their work, earn compensation, and can grow their reach.
Talenthouse was co-founded in 2009 by Co-CEOs Amos Pizzey and Roman Scharf. It is based in West Hollywood, California and London, England. The privately held company is funded by various investment groups including ProSiebenSat.1, Reliance Entertainment, Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt’s Innovation Endeavors, 3TS Cisco Growth Fund, and individuals including Chris DeWolfe, William Lauder, Brett Ratner, Eurythmics Dave Stewart, Jean Pigozzi and Gerard Butler. The Talenthouse headquarters are located in Los Angeles, California, USA with offices in New York City and London.
The Talenthouse logo is taken from the West African Adinkra series of symbols, which depicts a snake climbing a raffia palm. The raffia palm has many thorns and is very challenging to climb. Simply translated, this symbol means, "to achieve the impossible."
Established artists and brands partner with Talenthouse to host global online campaigns called Creative Invites. Creative Invites encourage emerging talent to contribute their creative work and spread the word among their fans and followers through a viral contest platform. Winners of the Creative Invites are chosen and receive a collaboration opportunity or prize.
