About Arata Nakatsuji, CEO of artics:


Born in 2001, Arata Nakatsuji is the CEO of artics. He is currently studying at Waseda University in the School of Political Science and Economics. Arata Nakatsuji was born into a family of Japanese painters and immersed in Japanese culture. With a passion for music from a young age, he achieved accolades such as winning in choral competitions, appearing on mainstream music programs, and organizing music events that attracted up to 5,000 people. Throughout these experiences, he questioned the existing distribution structure that prevented many artists from pursuing their ideal lives due to a lack of proper exposure to their work. In response, he founded "artics" to provide a new discovery channel, aiming to fundamentally and globally address these issues by efficiently and fairly distributing creative works. Artics has been selected for the Techstars accelerator program, the world's top program for IPOs, and is currently expanding its business to the international market.
