After having had a front row seat with Toni and her passionate team since it all began a decade ago, I couldn’t be more optimistic about the future of the company. What I love is the huge vision Toni has for this space she knows so well. That vision is to bring a highly fragmented industry of creators, buyers, and the various suppliers together into a community of people collaborating to create beautiful public spaces through a worldwide marketplace. Big visions such as this take time, patience, skill, and passion to pull off. With 10 years of growth at its back and an ever-growing commitment to make art an integral component in public and commercial projects, CODAworx is poised to be the premier thought leader and player in this expanding worldwide market. And new revenue opportunities in live events, digital art (NFTs) and mining their incredible wealth of accumulated data are just the tip of the growth iceberg. It’s a big reason I’m bullish on the future of CODAworx."}],"relationships":[{"source_entity_id":"wefunder:company:133290","relation":"has_team_member","target_entity_id":"wefunder:user:2855704","target_url":"https://wefunder.com/tonisikes1"},{"source_entity_id":"wefunder:company:133290","relation":"has_team_member","target_entity_id":"wefunder:user:3100691","target_url":"https://wefunder.com/suzanne.ball"},{"source_entity_id":"wefunder:company:133290","relation":"has_team_member","target_entity_id":"wefunder:company_role:3648779"},{"source_entity_id":"wefunder:company:133290","relation":"has_team_member","target_entity_id":"wefunder:company_role:3648804"},{"source_entity_id":"wefunder:company:133290","relation":"has_team_member","target_entity_id":"wefunder:user:3178964","target_url":"https://wefunder.com/jenifer.wetterau"},{"source_entity_id":"wefunder:company:133290","relation":"has_team_member","target_entity_id":"wefunder:user:3277182","target_url":"https://wefunder.com/sebastian.norback"},{"source_entity_id":"wefunder:company:133290","relation":"has_team_member","target_entity_id":"wefunder:company_role:3676687"},{"source_entity_id":"wefunder:company:133290","relation":"has_team_member","target_entity_id":"wefunder:company_role:3677366"},{"source_entity_id":"wefunder:company:133290","relation":"has_featured_investor","target_entity_id":"wefunder:user:2281979","target_url":"https://wefunder.com/philcouellette"},{"source_entity_id":"wefunder:company:133290","relation":"has_latest_fundraise","target_entity_id":"wefunder:fundraise:83027"}],"faq":[{"question":"Hello.
