About us
Born in Madison.
Built for everywhere.
Artify Madison is a startup founded by students at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, bringing AI powered photo experiences to the venues where people already make their best memories.
We started with a simple observation.
People love their visits to the zoo, the museum, the game, or the festival, but they leave with almost nothing that holds the feeling. Merchandise is generic and impersonal. Phone photos disappear into camera rolls.
At the same time, venues everywhere want to offer guests something with AI, and have no practical way to do it. Building customer facing AI is hard. Running it day to day is harder.
Artify Madison closes both gaps with one product: an AI photo experience that guests adore and venues can launch without writing a single line of code. And we deliver it through partners: independent entrepreneurs who build real businesses on our platform, one venue at a time.
Three ideas we won’t compromise on.
Memories over merchandise
Generic souvenirs sit in bins. We believe the best thing a guest can take home is a moment that actually happened to them, made personal and made physical.
AI that creates connection
We use AI not to replace people, but to give them something to gather around: a screen that makes strangers laugh, families pose, and friends print the evidence.
Built for builders
Our model exists so that one determined person can run a real business. We carry the technology so our partners can carry their ambition.
The next chapter is written with partners.
We’re looking for venues that want to delight their guests, and builders who want a business of their own.
