FAQ
Why do an ICO?
- ICOs solve an old problem: it gets companies a core user base. Companies like Facebook , Twitter , Fedex and more had to go through tricks or get lucky to acquire critical user mass. ICOs solve this issue as you can also hear here.
- ICOs are the native blockchain method to raise funds. It is better adapted for fund raising than traditional VC means for blockchain companies.
- More money has been raised in ICOs than via traditional VC channels :
Will ICOs still be around in X months or years?
- We believe the next company like Google, Facebook, Apple will be built using Blockchain, Tangle and similar technologies. ICOs are a unique way that enable all investors of any size to participate in this new ecosystem for very cheap. The web revolution of the late 90s created a Venture Capitalism industry which is now organized, codified and very efficient. In the same way, we believe ICOs are the method that will finance and enable this next revolution. Therefore, we believe the ICO market is going to be more organized, more regulated and a more professional approach to ICOs will be needed as time goes but the ICO market is not going away.
Are ICOs illegal?
- Companies and ICO participants must follow all local rules. ICOs are not a way to avoid rules and regulations. They are a technology enabled way of creating an ecosystem of participants, community members and more.
