Artesian Future Technology LLC, known commercially as Artesian Builds, was a United States-based manufacturer specializing in custom PC systems.

History

Established in 2017 by Noah Katz under the name Artesian Future Technologies, the enterprise originally focused on selling cryptocurrency mining equipment. Prior to this, Katz had managed a custom cosplay armor venture on Etsy starting in 2015. In 2020, the business underwent rebranding to become Artesian Builds, redirecting its efforts toward crafting premium custom gaming PCs, which were assembled live on Twitch streams.

Controversy

During a Twitch live stream giveaway on March 1, 2022, Artesian awarded a PC to streamer Kiapiaa but subsequently declined to fulfill the prize, citing her lack of sufficient social media presence required for their "ambassador" criteria. Following this decision, Katz conducted a second sweepstakes event, which led to public criticism and an official apology from the company.

Bankruptcy and aftermath

Operations were halted by Artesian as of March 9, 2022. On June 18, the firm declared a bankruptcy auction aimed at selling off assets such as PC components, complete systems, and GPUs, with inventory estimated at nearly US$1 million.
