Jaspar Carmichael-Jack founded Artisan at the age of 21. He previously experimented with business as a child and began learning about entrepreneurship through various ventures. After spending time looking for a cofounder and building his company in early 2023, he achieved significant milestones, including raising $1.75 million shortly after creating a prototype. Artisan got into Y Combinator and subsequently launched its product. By securing a $12 million seed round and a $25 million Series A, the company aims to expand its team and improve its product.
At the beginning of 2023, I came up with Artisan. I spent a couple of months trying to find a cofounder and building the company.
Within the first month, we had a very basic prototype. We managed to raise $1.75 million just from a LinkedIn message.
Our $12 million seed round was wrapped up in August, when I was 22. We raised a Series A that we closed in Q1 of this year at $25 million.
I started an app for booking cleaners after finishing high school in London. It turned out to be a terrible, tarpit idea, but I learned a lot about how to build a company.
