TGV 4 Plus Fund (TGV) has made a further investment of $2 million into Printler, a platform that is transforming the way independent artists reach a global audience. The investment consists of a mix of secondaries and a convertible note.
Printler has recorded a remarkable 73% growth in 2024, significantly surpassing the European e-commerce market, which grew by less than 10%. Despite these achievements, the company has only scratched the surface of the European market, leaving plenty of untapped potential. With plans for a non-European launch, Printler is poised to expand into even larger markets, leveraging AI technology to connect buyers and artists globally. Printler’s projected turnover for 2024 is $7 million, with forecasts of more than $10 million in 2025. The company has been cash-flow positive since mid-2023.
Commenting on the investment, Printler CEO Andreas Holmgren said:
“TGV is adding extra power with their global reach and partner network, and I am happy that we could find a way to onboard TGV deeper into the company.”
Printler’s AI-driven tools have already shown strong results in matching customers with artworks tailored to their personal tastes. With TGV’s expanded involvement, Printler aims to further refine these AI capabilities, improving the experience for both buyers and artists, and enabling the company to scale more efficiently.
Fredrik Adolfsson, TGV’s managing partner, said:
“Printler’s success so far shows the strength of combining AI with a unique marketplace. We’re excited to help them build on these results. With our global presence, we are confident that we can support Printler in bringing this vision to a much larger audience.”
Andreas Holmgren, CEO of Printler, outlined his vision for the company’s future:
“Art is personal. Intelligent technology is crucial to make it easier for buyers to find the pieces that truly resonate with them. With TGV’s global network, we’re able to focus on enhancing these capabilities to offer an even better experience for both artists and art lovers as we continue our international expansion.”
