FUELARTS PRE-ACCELERATION
The first accelerator for Art+Tech and NFT based startups.
About FUELARTS
FUELARTS was founded in 2019 in New York by serial entrepreneur Denis Belkevich and former COO of Christie's Americas, ex-Senior VP of Artnet Roxanna Zarnegar.
Accelerator's mission is to make the Art Market more efficient, transparent, and accessible. FUELARTS provides tools to support founders of Art+Tech startups. First, it provides mentorship from the professionals experienced in finance, development, supply chain and go-to-market strategy. Then, thanks to FUELARTS' investment partner Amadeo Global, the accelerator presents startups to a wide network of investors.
