France
DOCENT, founded in 2020, is a French art-tech startup revolutionizing the contemporary art experience through its AI-powered mobile application. The platform merges art and technology, offering personalized recommendations that cater to both art newcomers and seasoned collectors.
The company was co-founded by Hélène Nguyen-Ban, with her deep-rooted experience in luxury markets at LVMH, and Mathieu Rosenbaum, a distinguished researcher from École Polytechnique. Their collaboration bridges AI expertise with art historical knowledge to tailor bespoke art recommendations.
Employing advanced technologies like machine learning and computer vision, DOCENT meticulously curates art collections that align with collector preferences while presenting art of unmatched quality from partner galleries. The app is more than a discovery tool—it's an invitation to explore new artistic terrains.
Recently, DOCENT secured a €5.00M investment during a Seed Round on 13 March 2024, backed by investors like Bpifrance, Polytechnique Ventures, Point72 Ventures, and Raphaël Varane. This support underscores the startup's potential to transform the art market for a broader, more engaged audience.
