- Biography
- Sean Green is the Co-Founder and CEO of ARTERNAL, the art world's first AI-native revenue and relationship management platform. Built for galleries, auction houses, and art advisory firms, ARTERNAL is redefining how the industry sells—pairing deep CRM infrastructure with Agentic AI, a suite of agentic AI capabilities purpose-built for art market workflows. From client discovery and deal management to inventory intelligence and personalized outreach, Agentic AI helps sales teams move faster, deepen relationships, and unlock revenue that legacy tools simply can't reach. Clients include Hauser & Wirth, Phillips Auction House, David Kordansky, Massimo De Carlo, and KARMA, among many others. ARTERNAL has secured investment from top backers, including Maple VC, BKR Capital, Precursor Ventures, Ben Horowitz (Andreessen Horowitz), Joanne Wilson (Gotham Gal Ventures), and the Ford Foundation. Born in Jamaica and raised in Toronto, Sean has spent over a decade at the intersection of art and technology. With a Computer Science degree from York University, he has long believed the art market deserved software as sophisticated as the relationships it runs on—a conviction now realized in ARTERNAL's positioning as the category-defining AI-native platform for the industry. Now based in Los Angeles, he leads ARTERNAL's expansion and its mission to move galleries from manual processes to a data-driven, AI-powered sales operation. Beyond his work in art and technology, Sean is an avid collector and sports fan, passionately following the Toronto Raptors, LA Lakers, and LA Chargers. He serves as a Trustee of the Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA) and is a General Partner at Black Operator Ventures (Black Ops VC), a venture fund dedicated to increasing access to capital for exceptional founders in tech at the seed stage.
