Minted

Minted is a design marketplace that connects consumers with work from a global community of independent artists. Founded in 2007 and based in San Francisco, California, the company sources creative content from more than 16,000 artists through a crowdsourcing model that uses regular design challenges to identify exceptional talent. Winning designs are sold as art, stationery, and home decor products, including wedding invitations, save-the-dates, holiday cards, wall art, nursery decor, and personalized stationery, all customizable with customer photos and details.

The platform offers artists two business models: one in which Minted handles manufacturing and fulfillment, and another where artists manage production themselves. This structure allows creators flexibility in how they bring their work to market while maintaining the curation standards of the marketplace. Minted's geographic reach extends beyond its San Francisco headquarters through its global artist community, sourcing design talent from around the world.
