Meet the Founders

Co-Founders Jedd Gold and Jeff Lipp are more than business partners; they’re family! The cousins grew up on the East Coast and later in life found themselves both living in Los Angeles pursuing entrepreneurial endeavors. With incredibly complementary skill sets, the two joined to build a company that puts quality first - for their customers and for their team in the quality of life and work environment.

Jedd’s focus is on the customer experience, building partnerships and awareness for Artkive, and identifying new opportunities to grow. He has two daughters with whom he shares a mutual love of musical theater. Jedd is proud to serve on the board of an amazing non-profit, Food Forward, which is committed to eliminating food waste and providing underserved populations with healthy food options.

Jeff makes sure Artkive is running like a well-oiled machine. When Jeff isn’t worrying about operational efficiencies or quality assurance (he really does dig that stuff), he is spending time with his kids or de-stressing in a yoga class. He’s also on the board of UCLA Health Sound Body Sound Mind, a non-profit that promotes self-confidence and a healthy lifestyle among youth by bringing physical education programming and equipment to underserved schools.
