Artium is a verified, high-revenue software consultancy ($10M+ est. revenue, ~75 employees) founded by Pivotal Labs veterans. External search confirms significant traction with major clients (NASA, Red Bull, Disney) and a strategic partnership with OpenAI. While the submission itself was low-quality ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone'), the underlying business demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and verified market presence well above the calibration baseline.

Description
We’re dedicated to growth through discipline, collaboration, and mentorship. Our goal is to find progressive ways to build software as small teams of passionate craftspeople. We help our clients—from brand new start-ups to enterprise-level organizations—implement their own diverse culture and software development mastery.\n\nOur core four offerings of, engineering, product, design, and talent work together to deliver impactful software products and build teams around them.\n\nOur engineering methodology is rooted in writing test-driven, well-factored code and releasing it in the tightest possible iterations to deliver value to users without delay. We know that by devoting ourselves to our chosen craft, working at the edge of one’s ability while maintaining the highest standards and practices achieves wisdom and mastery.\n\nOur product teams are aligned around the belief that when empowered teams focus on outcomes over output, we build things that change the future for the better. We know that deep collaboration on an empowered team creates high-quality products through continuous iteration on both the product and the practice.\n\nOur design teams believe the best product design acts as a communication layer, intuitively translating the value of the product's features and functionality back out to the user to be discovered. We know that design has become the differentiator in this software-saturated era where technology and the expression of human needs and comfort through excellent design are tightly intertwined.\n\nWe believe that companies with an empathetic candidate experience—through process and best practices—cultivate cultures reflecting their unique value proposition, attracting game-changing talent through intentionality. We know that by building foundational hiring processes while also achieving short-term hiring goals, we can deliver sustainable growth, values-driven culture and equip stakeholders with best practices that last beyond the Talent Labs partnership.
