The Artizen funds map
The biggest lever on Artizen: get your project curated by more than one fund. Every fund that curates you adds its own slice of match, unlocked by your sales at that week's Match Multiple - so the same sales draw on three pools instead of one. Here's where ZAO-type projects fit.
The recommended ZAO stack
For a music / art / community project, submit to all three so one sale pulls from three pools:
ZAO FundCommons FundApollo Fund
Add Filecoin for archival/heritage music, or Cabin for regen-leaning art.
