Ray Cai is the CEO of Artwook.com, a blockchain-based marketplace dedicated to revolutionizing and democratizing fine art investment. Investing in multi-million dollar “blue-chip” artwork, which has outperformed S&P 500 index by more than 250% between 2000 and 2017, has only been the privilege of the ultra-wealthy. By fractionalizing the ownership of a piece of art, ArtWookmakes it possible for ordinary people to own a share of a Picasso. Beyond that, ArtWook plans to open an exchange which will allow investors to trade these tokenized shares and transforms fine art investment into liquid asset.

Ray is an entrepreneurial innovator specialized in technology commercialization. Ray received his master’s degree in Technology Management from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and has co-founded two start-ups commercializing cutting edge technologies prior to ArtWook. Ray was also a successful music producer and rapper in China, and he still loves making music at leisure.
