How We Started

February 11, 2022 In App Updates, News By Budget Collector

How We Started

2016

Blog Launch & Art Research

Ebonique Boyd launched a blog about her art collecting hobby and gave herself a yearly budget of $5000. She used the money to travel to different galleries, read books on art collecting, and pay for some research help.

2018 - 2019

Ebonique thought that if she could lower the price of art advising, she would have less difficulty finding pieces that she liked. She created several low tech ideas including writing a small journal.

Feb 2020

COVID-19

Ebonique picked up her younger sister Anya Ellis from college and they quarantined together for a few weeks. Anya was a computer science junior at the University of Illinois-Chicago. Anya thought that artificial intelligence could offer some of the services that Ebonique wanted at a lower price. Ebonique asked how and Anya asked for equity, they both got what they wanted.

Ebonique attended Founder Gym to learn more about venture capital from the perspective of other black women.
