Disruptive platform opens up investment market
Venture Capital has long been the preserve of traditional institutions and ultra-high net worth individuals. This is due, in part at least, to the sizeable minimum investment needed to enter the space. This closed shop nature has had a dual adverse impact, it’s prevented innovative entrepreneurs from gaining access to critical funds and also stopped would-be investors from buying stakes in emerging, entrepreneurial companies.
EQUI is a new cryptocurrency-powered investment platform designed to open up this closed shop. The platform will give investors access to vetted, early-stage high-growth tech companies and allow companies access to vital funds. Moreover, cryptocurrency provides a mechanism that makes stakeholding in venture capital accessible to a much wider section of the investor community.
Non-industry professionals now have the chance to back the next hot investment opportunity alongside other funds. It’s a unique chance to be in at the ground level on a new powerful investment movement.
Based on the Ethereum blockchain, participants are invited to use EQUItokens to acquire a stake in projects. Every project is evaluated on its individual merits and those that secure funding from EQUI will encompass specific attributes. The focus will be on early stage ventures, where the business offers a significant market opportunity.
The value of the token is underpinned by the performance of the underlying investment portfolio. This provides a robust and stable basis for market worth and differentiating EQUItokens from many other cryptocurrencies. This presents a measure of real utility value, as it’s directly underpinned by the quality of the underlying investment projects. EQUI is a game-changer in the crypto space, where projects have traditionally been valued based on hype and not asset values.
Businesses on the platform have been hand-selected by a team of established venture capitalists. These businesses benefit from the guidance of an experienced team, including two of the UK’s most successful business people.
By providing a portal to support the innovators of tomorrow, EQUI will represent a range of diverse entrepreneurs and investments, who need a gateway to funding and exposure. We will promote a mixture of business sectors with a natural leaning towards technology, whether that be ecommerce, fintech, data, SaaS or biotechnology.
As a blockchain-based platform, we are particularly interested in helping other blockchain innovations grow, through the support of burgeoning new applications.
EQUI will champion innovators and support them by providing extensive business knowledge and support, enabling exciting businesses to reach their full potential.
Great entrepreneurs can build great companies when they have access to the right exposure, guidance and funding. I’m excited about EQUI’s potential, as together we can make a real difference and democratise access to venture capital investments.
