Founded in 2018 by Austin Senseman and Nathan McMinn, Conserv is a platform that empowers conservation professionals to do more, by integrating all of the jobs conservators do into a single place.

Conserv builds solutions for art conservation professionals working with museums, galleries, libraries, private collections, auction houses and art logistics companies.

How do they do this? A Conservation Studio brings together existing conservation work into a single platform, increasing quality and eliminating manual effort for conservation professionals.

Local companies such as McWane Science Center use Conserv.
