Artlist

Artlist was founded in 2016 by Ira Belsky, Itzik Elbaz, Eyal Meyer, and Assaf Ayalon. Originally established in Kibbutz Afikim in northern Israel, the company now maintains its headquarters in Tel Aviv alongside its northern operations. Operating as a privately held company, Artlist is backed by notable investors including KKR and Elephant Partners. The core product is a subscription-based platform providing royalty-free digital assets—including music, sound effects, stock video, and templates—for content creators.

The primary product line revolves around unlimited subscription plans that grant creators global licenses to use high-quality music and video assets in any medium, including YouTube, commercial broadcasts, and social media. The platform targets a wide spectrum of buyers, from independent vloggers and freelance filmmakers to large enterprise marketing teams. It is sold primarily via self-serve annual and monthly SaaS subscriptions. In recent years, Artlist has integrated AI capabilities into its platform, including AI-driven search algorithms, AI voiceovers, and dynamic asset recommendation engines.
