Company, investment & terms

A commercial venture preparing for incorporation

Kunstmarkt.be is a venture initiated by Wim Prior Van Gucht: a digital platform connecting artists, galleries, organisers and art audiences. We are developing it as a commercial business with a hybrid SaaS and marketplace model.

The company has not yet been incorporated. Its final legal form, ownership structure and incorporation date will be determined as part of further preparation and financing.

A prototype and landing page are available. Partner outreach is underway; structured market validation, pricing tests and paid pilots are the next steps towards the first operational launch.

Business model and growth prospects

Planned revenue sources include premium subscriptions for artists, galleries and organisers, commissions on artwork sales and activity bookings, paid promotion and exhibition-space booking fees.

Belgium is the initial target market. Expansion into other European markets is an ambition for later stages. Services, pricing and commercial terms will be further developed and validated.

The market size and financial expectations in our applications are estimates and assumptions, rather than realised revenue or guaranteed results.

Investment opportunity and funding needs

We are seeking investors and strategic partners to further develop Kunstmarkt.be and launch it commercially. The Dealum application specifies a target funding requirement of €150,000 to €250,000.

Funding is intended to support further platform development, market validation and launch preparation. The financing instrument has not yet been determined. Valuation, equity participation, investor rights and the specific allocation of funds will be negotiated separately and recorded in writing.

An application to an investment or crowdfunding platform does not confirm acceptance, approval or funding. Potential tax benefits, including Tax Shelter, have not been confirmed and depend on the applicable conditions and assessment.

This website presents the investment opportunity and invites discussions. Shares or other investment instruments cannot be subscribed for through this page. Any investment will be based on separate agreements and the required information. Returns are not guaranteed; an investment may be partially or entirely lost.

The prototype

The prototype demonstrates how Kunstmarkt.be could work. It is a test version: features may change, be incomplete or contain errors.

Examples of art markets, prices and availability shown are not confirmed offers. Actions within the prototype, such as an application, approval or selection of exhibition space by the metre, do not in themselves constitute a confirmed booking, purchase or agreement.

Jury selection, representation at art fairs and international expansion are possible next steps. Their implementation depends on funding, collaboration and further development.

Registering for the partner meeting

By registering, you express an interest in learning about Kunstmarkt.be. Practical information about the meeting will be sent using the contact details you provide.

Registration does not create any obligation to provide funding or enter a collaboration, and does not automatically make you a member or partner.

Strategic partnerships

We are seeking partners who can contribute technical development, market expertise, artists, artworks, venues or commercial capabilities. Artists, galleries, museums, venue owners, businesses and developers can discuss their involvement.

Terms for services, financial contributions, equity participation, any revenue sharing and intellectual property will be set out separately in writing for each partnership. An introductory discussion or registration does not itself confer rights to shares, payment or exclusivity.

Artworks and your own material

Only upload material for which you hold the necessary rights or permissions. Uploading an artwork does not transfer your copyright to Kunstmarkt.be.

The arrangements for displaying and using uploaded material will be clarified before the platform officially launches. Do not share confidential information during testing.

Personal data

When you register or request access, we collect your name, email address and phone number, together with any additional information you choose to provide. These details are used to process your registration or request and contact you about it.

A separate privacy notice with further information about data retention and your rights is being prepared.

For questions about your data or a request for deletion, please contact info@kunstmarkt.be.

Visit and login records

To understand usage, we keep page visits and successful prototype logins in a restricted administration log: time, page, referring website, approximate location where available and device/browser category. An authenticated account’s email address may be recorded. We do not store full IP addresses, passwords or URL query fields. Records older than 30 days are removed when new events are recorded. Only Wim can access this log. An anonymous visit does not reveal a name.
