Feedback is appreciated.

Looks good. Direct investment is a nice growing space.

I'd change the message a bit: "Lend. Buy. Create." should be something like "Patonize. Create." and patronize would contain both elements. The person who wishes to invest in art sees himself as a noble figure and "Loan. Buy." is a bit prosaic.

I'd also change the text under Create to not say "We know you are the next big thing." If I were interested in participating in the patronage program, that text would scare me off. I'd want an expert guiding my investment into truly promising, well-vetted artists, not just any schlub who wants to paint his cat. The selection process should be difficult and not all-inclusive.

Are you coming to Miami for Art Basel? Meetup?

Would love to make the Miami show but not sure if its in the cards this year.

Thanks for your feed back. It definitely rings true. Changed Loan to Lend. We've been throwing around the patronize term a bit but not committed to it yet.

Our model does not intend any schlub to get funding thankfully. We intend to have our class of artists vote in any incoming members and have a stack overflow sort of reputation system to decide who can even post a loan listing.

Are you in Miami, or just going to Art Basel?

I'm in Miami and I go to the art events now and then. I was planning to do an Art Basel Facebook+iPhone app but my time ran out before I could even get the funding together.. C'est la vie
