Artlist is an Israel-based creative technology company that specializes in royalty-free digital content,[1] and is the owner of several video and image editing platforms.[2]

History

Artlist was founded in Israel in 2016 by Ira Belsky, Itzik Elbaz, Eyal Raz and Assaf Ayalon[3] as a royalty-free music site called Artlist.io that originally targeted independent filmmakers looking to license music cheaply.[4][5]

The company expanded its catalog with the launch of the Artgrid stock footage platform in 2019[6] and a sound effects subscription service.[7][8]

Elephant Partners made an initial investment in 2018[9] before Artlist raised $48M led by the investment company KKR in February of 2020.[10][11] In November of 2020 the company acquired the Atlanta-based company Motion Array for $65M.[12] After the Motion Array acquisition, Artlist reportedly had a library of over 800,000 digital assets.[13][14]

In May 2021, Artlist joined the independent music publisher's agency IMPEL.[15] Artlist has announced a collaboration with Israel's ACUM, as well as its European and American counterparts IMPEL and BMI, The MLC, and ASCAP, to collect royalties for the use of its original content produced by the company’s in-house label, Artlist Original. Artlist Original produces over a 1,000 original songs per year for licensing on the Artlist platforms.[16][17]

In 2021, Artlist announced the acquisition of FXhome, a Norwich-based software company that specializes in software and plugins for video and image editing, to become its software division.[18]
