Hong Kong 10/07/2019. Today, Herbert R. Sim, founder of Crypto Chain University also known as “The Bitcoin Man”, signed a deal to invest 1 million dollars in TaoDust, the platform that is transforming the equity crowdfunding ecosystem.

This is the first time ever that an early stage company secures a major investment deal directly at the tech conference. “TaoDust stood out to me the most among the hundreds of startups present at the conference. It showcased a revolutionary technology and idea, along with a great team and proprietary technology, that will penetrate across the industries”, Sim announced after the signing, “and I am very happy to be part of this venture.”

TaoDust is a Malta based blockchain startup aiming to disrupt the traditional investment process by allowing everyone to easily and borderless buy, sell and trade assets. They are replacing a stock exchange with software that issues equity tokens with self-governed operational bylaws. This bridges the current gap between individuals that want to invest and start-ups.
