CULTURAL CATALYST PROGRAM

What kind of support will I receive?

You’ll receive up to 3 one-hour virtual sessions with Marc Spiegler to discuss key aspects like market fit, positioning strategy, SWOT analysis, allies, and rivals. Additionally, you'll have up to 2 one-hour meetings with finance experts from ArtNova to help build your business plan. This comprehensive approach ensures that you have the tools needed to present a well-rounded, compelling pitch.

We accept applications on a rolling basis, so you can apply at any time. Our first Cultural Catalyst Program kicks off in July/August, with a final pitch event scheduled for November.

To apply, you'll need a clear business concept, a strong vision and business model, and a clear understanding of your target market and how you stand out in the cultural landscape. The project can be for startup, a new NGO, or a governmental initiative.

Upon completion of the program, you’ll have the opportunity to present your project to a jury of investors and professionals. If your project is considered top-tier, you will also be invited to pitch at The Art Business Conference in major cities such as New York, Paris, London, or Hong Kong, helping you gain even more exposure.

Creative projects thrive when different strengths come together. Teams bring diverse perspectives, skills, and energy—helping ideas grow faster and stronger. While solo creators are absolutely welcome, we’ve seen that collaboration often leads to breakthroughs, especially in the early stages of a cultural project. Plus, working in a team helps you build networks and resilience for the journey ahead.

If you're selected for the program but cannot attend the live pitch event we can discuss alternative ways to showcase your project, ensuring you still have the opportunity to engage with potential investors.

Our pricing is structured per person because the program is built around personal interactions with Marc Spiegler and the ArtNova team.
