FAQs

  • We work with all budgets.
    abcollab is a digital platform, not a traditional agency, so you're not locked into minimum fees.

  • Not at all. We’ve simplified every step — from matching to payment.
    And if you need help, our team will support your first project — free of charge for early adopters.

  • You could, but it might take you days, with no guarantee the artist is available, interested, or experienced.
    Every artist on abcollab is vetted, responsive, and commercially ready. We save you time, reduce risk, remove guesswork, and help shape fairer terms for the future of art collaborations.

  • Yes. We don’t take a cut from artists. abcollab exists to remove barriers, not add more.

  • Absolutely.
    Your data is protected and only used (in anonymised form) to improve our tools and reports, like Glassdoor for creative work. We never sell or share your data with third parties.

  • Right now, contracts are handled directly between you and the artist.
    But we’re building automated templates for rights, timelines, and usage — shaped by legal experts and feedback from early users like you.

  • There isn’t one, but there is a bigger purpose.
    We’re building abcollab to make art collaborations smarter, fairer, and more transparent.
    To do that, we ask early users to share anonymised project data and feedback.
    It helps us improve the tools, shape fair pricing, and build the first real benchmarks for the creative industry.
