Artifact is the only all-in-one ecosystem connecting fine artists, universities, and industry professional. Our mission is to support every fine artist with the skills, tools, and opportunities to launch their careers straight out of university. We start by helping academic institutions increase the exposure of their students by bringing their student showcases online. This gives these institutions a tool to document every piece of art that emerged from their walls while allowing students to build their own profiles and portfolios, on a network connected directly to the art world. Our approach to art online is unique and comprehensive. While discovering art online is not ideal, it is indispensable to artists today. To make that experience as meaningful as it deserves to be, our online portfolios bring the voice and story of the artist to life with their work. Artifact’s portfolio tool allows artists to map the ideas, moments, people and places connected to their work in one place, in their own words. This radically transforms how art is searched, understood and valued. Resolving the fragmented and inefficient world of independent art websites, Artifact is an essential for the art industry, acting as a portfolio tool, professional network and global art catalog all in one.

Many are questioning the value of a college education. Only half of US alumni strongly agree their education was worth the cost. The way students value and experience their education has changed. They have new expectations: - Job outcomes, not just a degree - Social and digital, not isolated and static - Experiential, not theoretical Meanwhile, supportive relationships most influenced, even doubled, graduates’ perception that their education was worth the cost. We believe relationships and community are key to student success and engaged alumni. PeopleGrove connects every student and all alumni with the network and resources they need to realize their full potential before, during, and after their time in college.

Learning for software developers is broken. Available options are boring, time-consuming, not relevant to everyone, or require the company to take a big productivity hit. We've designed a fast, effective training solution for tech teams that avoids those pitfalls. Targeted Capability Training is: - Core to how an engineering team operates, not a fringe add-on or an after-thought. - Learning that aligns with business priorities and changes what the team is capable of. And we’re called Skiller Whale because … well, our love of puns knows no bounds. Our mission is to change what tech teams are capable of. We’ve found the most effective way to accomplish this is through challenging, realistic exercises that can be explored and tackled in our interactive teaching model. We strive to be intelligent, playful learners, like our Orca, Ada (yes, we love a Lovelace reference). These principles define who we are, not only as a company providing a product, but also as a group of people working together. We believe that diversity makes us stronger and are dedicated to building a company that represents society as a whole. We value marginalised people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. We value honest and open communication, and we believe that in order to foster an environment that enables this, it’s important that our team feel included, recognised and like they can bring their full selves to work.
