Carlos A. Rivera (born July 3, 1987) is an Argentine art dealer based in Los Angeles, California. He is a graduate of the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts and the Marshall School of Business. He founded RIVERA & RIVERA, a contemporary art gallery headquartered in West Hollywood, California, at the age of 22.[1] He closed the gallery in December 2012 to head an emerging art fund. Inspired by algorithmic trading, Rivera brought on a financial engineer and data scientist to model the trajectory of emerging artists. After the fund's horizon, Rivera began publicly publishing the results of the emerging art algorithm on a website first branded as SellYouLater and shortly thereafter relaunched as ArtRank.
