Core Business Questions
What problem are you solving?
TAHDA solves the lack of authenticity, visibility, and trust in the online art market. Buyers want verified creators, artists want fair exposure, and fundraisers want transparent tools. TAHDA unifies all three.
Why limit the platform to American‑created art?
Because the U.S. has unmatched free‑expression protections and a uniquely diverse cultural landscape. This creates a creative environment—and a verification system through USPS—that no other country can replicate.
How does the USPS vetting process work?
Artists mail their application through USPS, which confirms a deliverable U.S. address and establishes physical presence in America. This reduces fraud and reinforces TAHDA’s authenticity guarantee.
Why charge a $5 vetting fee?
It covers processing and the prepaid return envelope. It also ensures applicants are serious about joining the platform.
Market & Competition Questions
Who are your competitors?
Competitors include online art marketplaces and fundraising platforms, but none combine American‑only creation, USPS‑verified authenticity, and a dual marketplace + fundraising model. That combination is TAHDA’s competitive moat.
How big is your market?
TAHDA sits inside the U.S. art market, one of the world’s largest, and also taps into the charitable fundraising sector. Both markets are growing and increasingly digital.

Why will artists choose TAHDA over other platforms?
Because TAHDA offers visibility through membership tiers, a Featured Artist spotlight, and a community built on American identity and trust. Artists also appreciate the fairness of commission structures.
Market & Competition Questions
How does TAHDA make money?
Through:
- Membership commissions (20–30%)
- Fundraising commissions (20%)
- Vetting fees
- Future services like workshops, virtual exhibitions, and partnerships
- Each revenue stream scales with artist participation.
Why use a commission model instead of subscription fees?
Commissions align TAHDA’s success with the artist’s success. Artists only pay when they sell, which lowers barriers to entry.
How do you prevent fraud?
USPS verification, vetted membership, and original‑work requirements create a strong fraud‑resistant structure. Listings also include disclaimers about material origin.
Operations Questions
How does shipping work?
Buyers pay shipping at checkout. Funds route through TAHDA’s mailing accounts, and artists ship via USPS, UPS, or FedEx—whichever is most cost‑efficient. Artists handle fulfillment.
What happens if an artist doesn’t ship an item?
TAHDA can suspend or remove the artist’s membership in addition to a commission penalty after 7 days of delayed shipment. USPS‑verified addresses make accountability enforceable.
How do you ensure quality control?
Only vetted members can list items, and all works must be original and created in America. TAHDA maintains the right to remove listings that violate standards.
Fundraising Questions
How does the fundraising commission return work?
From the 20% commission:
- 15% goes back to tax‑deductible charities as a donation
- 10% goes back to individuals or groups as a gift
This supports causes while keeping TAHDA sustainable.
Why allow fundraising for individuals and groups?
Because American creativity often intersects with personal and community needs. TAHDA supports both formal charities and grassroots efforts.
Growth & Vision Questions
How will you scale?
Through national artist recruitment, partnerships with cultural institutions, Featured Artist campaigns, and expansion into workshops, exhibitions, and corporate collaborations.
What is the long‑term vision?
To become the leading platform for American‑created art—a national hub where authenticity, liberty, and creativity converge.
What’s your biggest risk?
Market adoption. The solution is aggressive outreach, strong branding, and clear communication of TAHDA’s authenticity advantage.
Team & Execution Questions
Why are you the right team to build this?
Because TAHDA reflects a deep understanding of American liberty, artistic culture, and the need for trust in digital marketplaces. The platform’s philosophy and structure align with your vision.
What do you need from investors?
Funding to scale operations, marketing, platform development, and national artist outreach.
