In Person
Arcade Studio runs a marketplace where dreamers design custom physical products with generative AI and makers manufacture them through a vetted global network. Dreamers submit prompts; the AI selects materials, picks a maker, and sets a price. The platform takes a percentage of each sale and offers an entrepreneur program for creators to launch product lines without inventory or logistics. Starting with jewelry and expanding to home goods, features like Magic Match generate designs from room photos to match spaces.
