For Museums
Offer Egon to your Council, Founding Members, or Young Patrons as a benefit of membership. Get back aggregate intelligence on what they’re researching — the kind of insight no other tool gives you.
The Problem
Tessitura tells you who paid. Surveys tell you what they say they care about. Neither tells you what they’re actually researching, what’s rising in their attention, or where their interests diverge from the broader collector population. The intelligence you need for board defense doesn’t exist — until now.
In nonprofit fundraising, the top 20% of donors typically drive 80% of giving — and in modern major-gift programs, closer to 90% comes from the top 10%.
Renewing them depends on showing the program works — with evidence stronger than attendance counts.
Aggregate insight into what your top tier cares about is renewal-defensible. Activity counts aren’t.
Industry-standard Pareto principle in fundraising (Giving USA; CCS Fundraising).
How It Works
Your colors, logo, voice. Patrons activate as part of their membership tier — no separate signup, no separate billing. They feel they’ve been given something substantive by you.
A serious research tool for collectors who want depth. Conversational chatbot. Real auction data. Photo recognition at fairs and viewings.
Daily-computed cohort intelligence. Trending and declining artists. Where your patrons’ interests diverge from broader collectors. Upload your permanent collection and see which artists your top patrons are researching that you don’t already own. Board-ready quarterly reports in one click.
A Sample Insight
Q1 Patron Cohort — Sample Output
Cecily Brown, Julie Mehretu, and Christina Quarles led your Council’s research this quarter — with Salman Toor and Tschabalala Self rising fast.
Council interest in contemporary figurative painting runs 18% above the broader collector population.
Generated quarterly. Aggregate-only. The kind of detail that turns a board renewal conversation into a strategy conversation.
Without Egon vs. With Egon
Common Questions
Will this compete with our curators?
No. Egon doesn’t write exhibition copy, recommend acquisitions, or produce curatorial scholarship. The intelligence flows to your development team. Curatorial decisions stay with your curators.
What happens to patron data?
Aggregate-only. We never identify individual patrons in any view or report — minimum cohort size enforced in code, not policy. Patrons cannot be re-identified, by design.
Can the patron experience be branded as ours?
Yes. Your colors and logo override the patron UI chrome, your patron landing page is yours to write (hero image, mission text, CTA), onboarding emails carry your signature and footer. Patrons experience Egon as a benefit from your museum.
How is pricing structured?
An annual fee scaled to cohort size and patron tier. We’ll quote based on your program — try the demo, then let’s talk specifics.
