THE MISSION
Calaido is the next-generation art platform redefining how art is experienced and purchased online. We combine immersive virtual tours with an interactive marketplace, enabling users to explore, discover, and buy art in a way that feels personal, emotional, and engaging – finally bridging the gap between digital and physical art experiences.
Today’s online art marketplaces are overly transactional and fail to capture the magic of seeing art in person. They lack depth, emotion, and interactivity. Calaido changes that by making art truly experienceable online. Through curated virtual exhibitions and rich storytelling, we recreate the feeling of visiting a gallery. We don’t just replicate spaces – we physically scan real exhibitions to present the art as envisioned by the artist, gallerist, and curator. This lets users experience exhibitions anytime, from anywhere in the world.
Our vision is to build the next-generation art platform – a space where discovery is intuitive, virtual tours are immersive, and every interaction deepens the connection between people and art.
We’re proud of: building a strong, well-aligned team, winning high-quality galleries as our first paying customers, receiving great resonance and feedback from both the market and experienced founders.
The most valuable parts have been: the community and network of driven, supportive individuals, coaching that supported both our team dynamics and personal growth, guidance on what truly matters in the early stages, the trust and support of the Talent Kick team as a sparring partner.
"The program helped us find the right co-founders and supported us during the critical early-stage team formation. The Talent Kick Founders' Agreement and the guidance to set clear expectations were super helpful to align from the start. The Talent Kick program gave us a simple, actionable structure for building a startup: Clear milestones, realistic deadlines, and just the right amount of push. Our team coach also added a valuable outside perspective that helped us reflect, align, and grow as a team. And honestly, the Talent Kick team itself was a great sparring partner – always there with quick feedback and support when we hit a bump."
