Founder of ArtQR — product trust infrastructure.

Official GS1 partner.

GS1-compatible access, safe redirects, blockchain audit trails & DPP readiness.

[Ihor Bort | ArtQR Founder @ibort2]

I’m building ArtQR — product trust infrastructure for physical goods.

ArtQR is not just a QR code. It connects product identity, evidence, safe redirect governance and blockchain-backed audit trails into one trust layer.

As an official GS1 partner, our focus is GS1-compatible access, anti-counterfeit protection, DPP readiness and verifiable product data continuity.

The goal is simple: make every product scan safer, more transparent, and harder to fake.

The future of product trust is not a prettier QR code.

The QR/data carrier is only the access point.

The real infrastructure is behind the scan: product identity, evidence continuity, safe redirect governance, version history, and blockchain-backed audit trails.

That’s what we’re building with ArtQR.

@sama AI should help people verify what is real, who is authorized, and whether claims are backed by reliable evidence before decisions are made.
Not to replace human judgment, but to make fraud, counterfeiting, manipulation, and corruption much harder to hide.

[Sam Altman @sama]

what problem do you most hope AI will solve in the future?

maybe we can help!

This appears to be a scam / impersonation attempt.

I was contacted through Telegram after this post, pressured into an urgent investor call, and then pushed to install an unverified StreamYard .exe.

Legitimate investors should be able to use official corporate email, verified calendar invites, and safe browser-based meeting tools.

Founders, be careful.

AI-generated visuals should not just be seen — they should be verifiable.
Grok Imagine + an ArtQR scan layer could connect beauty, origin, context, and trusted access.
This attached visual can be scanned as an ArtQR-style entry point — turning the artwork itself into a route to verified context and safe access.

Grok Imagine

[Ihor Bort | ArtQR Founder @ibort2]

@elonmusk Internet access gives people access to global markets.
Trusted product identity gives them credibility inside those markets.
That’s the layer we’re building at ArtQR: verification before redirect, evidence continuity, and blockchain-backed audit trails for physical goods.

Starlink Internet access enables people to learn anything and access the global market for their goods & services, improving their standard of living

Useful point.

For infrastructure startups, the best investor conversations often start when the problem is clearly evidenced across multiple markets.

That’s how we’re approaching ArtQR: product trust, evidence continuity, safer access, and audit trails are not one-category problems — they show up across physical-product sectors.

Founders spend months pitching the same 50 SF and NY funds. These are writing checks and I’d get in their inbox:

- @InnovationWorks (Pittsburgh, PA)
- @redbudvc (Columbia MO)
- @bvvc_1776 (Chicago, IL)
- @FloridaFunders (Tampa, FL)
- @EVfund (Indianapolis, IN)
- @ARKInvest (St. Petersburg, FL)

- @InvestNebraska (Lincoln, NE)
- @GrooveCap (Minneapolis, MN)
- @pillar_vc (Boston, MA)
- @Boldstartvc (Miami, FL)
- @ascend_vc (Seattle, WA)

The best check you haven’t gotten yet might be from someone who’s never once been tagged in a thread like this.

P.S. You worked too hard to lose a deal because your docs were scattered across 3 google drive links → Best data rooms @ThePageform

@ChainNova_97 Thanks for reaching out 🙌
We’re building ArtQR as real product trust infrastructure, so we’re open to genuine community support — but focused on long-term value, not just hype.🙏
