BRIAN CAMELIO

Strategic Innovation | Business Model Transformation | Executive Advisory

WHO I AM

Platform innovation pioneer and industry founder with over 20 years of market-creation experience. Created a comprehensive platform model that others would later call crowdfunding.  After identifying a critical market problem, developed a scalable platform solution that transformed how businesses engage audiences, monetize through community relationships, and significantly reduce market risk by securing funding prior to product completion.

Originally built to address the music industry’s peer-to-peer file-sharing crisis, this innovation became the blueprint for platforms such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and Patreon. Since then, models based on the original platform—ArtistShare—have collectively facilitated billions in funding across multiple industries.

Conceived in 2001 and patented, the innovation remains commercially viable over two decades later. Featured speaker at Cambridge, NYU, and other leading institutions worldwide.
