We are proud to introduce MasterNode Ventures as the 17th and latest Australian Sponsor Firm to be approved by the GBX.

MasterNode Ventures (MNV) provides comprehensive token sale advisory services and blockchain/cryptocurrency incubator capabilities. Some of MNV’s services include: whitepaper feedback and reporting, tokenomics, marketing and investor introductions.

MNV Beginnings

MNV was founded in December 2017 by Chris McLoughlin, Kyle Hornberg and JP Thor, using the momentum of the successful CanYaCoin (CAN) token sale. The team gained valuable experience, connections and strategies from conducting one of Australia’s most successful token sales, thereafter bringing that expertise into MasterNode Ventures.

Their knowledge acquired in the Blockchain and Cryptocurrency space has been a starting point in the journey of the CanYaCoin (CAN) token sale, raising approximately $15m AUD.

John-Paul Thorbjornsen, CEO of MasterNode Ventures, commented on the news of MNV’s approval, stating:

“We are delighted to be working with Gibraltar Blockchain Exchange on improving the legitimacy and governance around initial coin offerings and cryptocurrency exchange listings. GBX is groundbreaking in its vision and its regulatory compliance and we are humbled to be working with them in helping quality blockchain projects grow.”

MasterNode Ventures is primarily focused on dealing with an exclusive number of projects that they feel hold real potential and who can now get issued through the GBX Grid once they have passed the rigorous listing process. These token sales will be set apart from the rest after adhering to the new industry standards the GBX has been building in a bid toward establishing a new era in token sales.

Sponsor Firm Contributions

With MasterNode Ventures, based in Australia, becoming a part of the Sponsor Firm Network, issuers gain even greater access to our token sale platform, the GBX Grid, and Digital Asset Exchange, all within a secure exchange environment.

Nick Cowan, CEO of GBX, commented on the news of MNV’s new Sponsor status, saying:

“We are starting to see real traction and interest from Australia. This is realised by firms like MasterNode Ventures joining our community of Sponsor Firms at the GBX. Their experience and expertise will be added to our own, which means an overall improved and robust product offering, not only to issuers but to our participants too. We welcome the whole MNV team.”

Sponsor Firms are an integral part of the whole GBX ecosystem, and together they provide comprehensive support to token issuers while mitigating risk in the process. The GBX aims to help steer this developing industry towards institutional integration and mainstream adoption through the work done by GBX.
