The Problem
Creators and brands rely on fragmented, expensive tools to create, sell and fulfil their content.
Marketplaces drive customers and build a brand — but not yours.
SaaS requires multiple subscriptions, plugins and services just to start selling.
Print networks provide fulfilment infrastructure — not the consumer storefront.
Why can't this all live on one platform?
Origin Story
The founder was the Artist himself twenty years ago from 2006 to 2009, with his own Liverpool market stall selling canvas prints.
Carl wanted to create a service for photographers and artists to monetise their own images via social commerce. miPic was born from the social network effect of community.
