Cuseum

Cuseum is a Boston-based technology company that provides a digital engagement platform for museums and cultural institutions. Founded in 2014 by Brendan Ciecko, the company's mission is to help museums, public attractions, and nonprofits engage their visitors and members using the power of digital.

The platform centers on member and visitor engagement tools, powering digital membership cards, member portals, and mobile apps for museums, institutions of higher education, public attractions, cultural organizations, and associations. Its product suite includes content management, curated in-app tours, and donation/revenue features. Cuseum's museum apps include built-in features to facilitate ticket purchases, membership sign-ups, and donations, and the platform supports Apple Pay — examples include the White House Experience Mobile App, which offers a room-by-room virtual experience and walking guided tours.

Brendan Ciecko is the founder and CEO. He has been building technology since the age of 11 and has been recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of America's top entrepreneurs under 30.

Today, Cuseum works with hundreds of leading cultural institutions around the globe. The company has raised over $1.4M in funding and is backed by Techstars, one of the world's top startup accelerators. It competes in the museum/cultural-engagement technology space alongside providers of audio tours and mobile cultural-heritage apps, making innovations in digital visitor engagement directly relevant to its core business.
