Art, Tech, & Streamlining Sales (in a Tech-phobic Industry), with First Thursday Founder Callum Hale-Thomson

In this episode, I sat down with Callum Hale-Thomson, founder of the art tech company First Thursday, a platform for commercial galleries that helps teams surface insights, streamline sales and strengthen collector relationships.

In this episode, Callum shares what sparked his interest in the art world and the origins of First Thursday - how it was born in early 2024, how it’s evolved since then, and the unique perspective it offers to art businesses like contemporary art galleries.

Plus, we dive into the role of AI in the art industry - how it’s transforming workflows and what it means for galleries and art businesses. Callum shares his insights on navigating industry challenges, especially as a startup in a traditionally tech-averse space, and his vision for the future of First Thursday.

Thank you Callum for coming on the podcast!
