Key people at Danvas.
Danvas is a VC-backed startup building luxury digital art canvases that display NFTs and digital artwork in a museum-quality, interactive format.[1][2][3] It serves high-end collectors, galleries, and artists by solving the problem of inadequate displays for digital art—most existing options use small-scale LCD panels that fail to capture the full vision of creators—through custom micro-LED technology, immersive audio, and a connected app for curation.[2][3] The company raised a $7 million seed round to launch, with products like the Series G frame emphasizing experiential design and white-glove installation.[1][2]
Danvas was founded by Jeanne Anderson and Hernan Lopez, driven by their passion for bridging art and technology.[3] Hernan Lopez, recognized as a StartOut Trailblazer, co-founded the company to introduce collectors to digital art's potential while helping artists gain exposure.[5] The idea emerged from the lack of premium displays for NFTs, born out of optimism about art-tech convergence and collaboration with creators and gallerists.[2] A pivotal moment came in 2022 with a design partnership with award-winning studio Ammunition, which developed the Series G frame; the product launched that spring after building a waitlist for galleries and collectors.[3]
Danvas rides the NFT and digital art boom, timing its launch with surging interest in blockchain-based collectibles around 2022.[1][6] Market forces like expanding digital artist communities and demand for physical manifestations of virtual assets favor it, as traditional frames can't handle dynamic, interactive NFTs.[2][3] By partnering with design leaders like Ammunition, it elevates digital art's status in galleries and homes, influencing the ecosystem by standardizing premium displays and encouraging more creators to enter NFTs.[3][6] This positions Danvas at the intersection of art, tech hardware, and sustainability, potentially reshaping how museums and collectors integrate Web3 art.
Danvas is poised to dominate luxury digital displays as NFT adoption matures beyond hype, with expansions like sustainable logistics and app enhancements driving collector uptake.[2] Trends in immersive tech, AI-curated art, and metaverse integration could amplify its role, evolving it from niche hardware to a platform ecosystem. Its influence may grow by setting display standards, fostering artist-collector networks, and bridging physical luxury with digital innovation—ultimately making NFTs as tangible as canvas oil paintings.[1][3][6]
Danvas has raised $7.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $7.0M Seed in December 2021.
