Cosmos
A discovery engine for creatives
Overview
Cosmos is a visual discovery and curation platform founded in 2021 by Andy McCune. Built for creatives—including designers, photographers, curators, and artists—it allows users to save, organize, and revisit inspiration from across the web. Content is grouped into customizable collections called “Clusters,” which can be made public or private. Unlike social platforms, Cosmos removes likes, comments, and follower counts to foster a distraction-free environment focused purely on creative exploration.
Cosmos leverages AI-powered tagging to automatically label saved content like images, articles, quotes, and videos. This enables users to instantly search and resurface ideas from their personal libraries. The product is available as a web and mobile experience, along with Chrome and Safari browser extensions for quick saving. Cosmos emphasizes a clean, minimal UI that mirrors its mission—creating a digital sanctuary for creative inspiration.
In September 2023, Cosmos raised a $6 million seed round led by GV (Google Ventures) and Accel, with participation from over 50 angel investors. The team is headquartered in SoHo, Manhattan. The product has attracted creatives from major brands and is positioning itself as a thoughtful alternative to platforms like Pinterest, focused on depth over noise.
Headquartered in Greater New York Area, East Coast, Northeastern US, Cosmos employs approximately 1-10 people. In recent data, their website receives approximately 160,162 monthly visits.
