TGV 4 Plus Fund (TGV) has announced a further $2 million investment in Printler, the fast-growing platform revolutionising how independent artists connect with a global audience. The investment includes a combination of secondaries and a convertible note.
In 2024, Printler has achieved an impressive 73% growth rate, far exceeding the European e-commerce market, which grew by less than 10%. Despite this success, there are still vast opportunities within the European market that remain untapped. Looking ahead, the company is preparing for a non-European launch, which will unlock an even larger market, aided by AI technology that connects buyers with the right artists on a global scale. The company’s turnover is expected to reach $7 million in 2024 and exceed $10 million in 2025. Printler has been cash-flow positive since mid-2023.
Andreas Holmgren, Printler’s CEO, 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-driven tools have already shown strong results in matching customers with artworks that align with their personal preferences. With TGV’s deeper involvement, Printler can focus on enhancing these AI tools, offering a more personalised experience for both buyers and artists while scaling more efficiently.
Fredrik Adolfsson, managing partner of TGV, 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.”
Printler’s CEO, Andreas Holmgren, shared his outlook for the future:
“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.”
