ArtMaster began in 2018 as a physical music school and in 2020 shifted into selling video courses. It offers 14 Czech-language courses and 11 courses on its global platform artmaster.com, with at least one course purchased by over 14,500 customers across 70 countries. The company reports nearly 2,000 users on artmaster.com, about 1,000 of whom are in the U.S. Core product focus is high-production video lessons featuring professional musicians; ArtMaster differentiates by partnering with renowned performers and professional production. The firm is developing an AI teacher (starting with piano) to provide personalized feedback and exercise recommendations, and has paused VR piano plans to prioritize AI. To grow in the U.S. market it is adapting the platform, testing retention strategies (including possible memberships/subscriptions) and preparing for higher marketing costs. ArtMaster is a Czech digital education platform that provides guided video lessons in formats reminiscent of MasterClass, covering popular musical instruments, singing, and drawing. The company was founded in 2020 by CEO Radim Vysoký together with partner and music manager Michal Novák after a COVID‑era pivot from plans for multi‑genre in‑person music schools. Its core product is high‑quality, accessible video instruction designed to be affordable and easy to follow. ArtMaster plans to expand internationally via a global domain using the recent investment. Financially, the platform generated CZK 3.3 million in revenue in its start year 2020 and CZK 6.7 million last year. The recent funding is intended to help scale the platform and bring its content to a wider global audience.
