Cubspot vs Masterworks.io

Amazon of camps, classes, lessons. Booking.

Cubspot is a marketplace that connects parents with K-12 activity providers of camps, classes, and lessons—and then books and manages all of it—saving the average parent 80 hours per year. There are competitors in other markets as further proof this category is heating up, but none of them are building the functionality parents really want and need while also supporting the small businesses who provide programs the way Cubspot does. Cubspot is part of the Boulder Bits startup studio and the team is incredibly strong. The technology team has worked together previously in parenting and FinTech.

Invest in the world’s most valuable paintings.

For the first time ever, Masterworks.io is allowing investors to buy and
trade shares in great works of art.

Blue-chip fine art has been a superior risk-adjusted asset class for decades, outperforming the S&P 500 by 250% since the year 2000 with low degrees of volatility. However, these great works of art generally cost more than $2 million per painting, making them available only to the ultra- wealthy.

Masterworks takes balance sheet risk to purchase great works of art by collaborating with Christies, Sothebys, and Phillips. After purchasing a painting, we place it in an LLC and file it with the SEC to go public. This allows institutions, accredited and non-accredited investors to purchase shares of multi-million dollar, investment grade artwork.

Through the development of a trading platform that we plan to release in 2019, investors will be able to buy and trade shares in works of art just as they would with companies on the stock market.
