What is 3M Investment Group?
3M Investment Group, is a firm specialized in business and private investments in Spain. We work with special clients, family offices and investment funds. We met Workchaincenters through several of the companies that participate in the project. From the first moment, we saw the great potential of this project and decided to get involved to the fullest. We have presented the project to our clients, obtaining a first round of investment in excess of one million dollars.
We have investment funds interested in participating in the project through the ICO that workchaincenters will issue soon.
Hablando de la primera ronda de inversión que ha superado el millón de dólares, ¿Cómo se ha realizado?
Speaking of the first round of investment that has exceeded one million dollars, how has it been done?
Part of the investment has been subscribed by one of the funds of our firm and another large part of the investment (+ 600,000 USD) has been subscribed by project partners, which offers us many guarantees when verifying that the partners themselves are committed to the project, investing and risking their own money.
With which companies or investment funds have agreements been reached already?
Logically this is a private and confidential information since many investors seek discretion and confidentiality.
We can say publicly that 3M Investment Group, LDJ Capital, and Fund Change are some of the investment funds that participate in the workchaincenters project.
Do you consider it interesting that traditional investment companies participate in crypto projects developed with Blockchain?
We know the enormous difficulty, speculation and legal instability that currently exists in most of this type of projects, we have seen and checked too many times fraudulent or completely empty ICOs of content that fail because of the inexperience of their promoters, or simply disappear with the raised money.
According to an article published by Criptonoticias, more than 90% (yes, you’ve heard well 90%!) Of Blockchain projects fail during their first year.
With these alarming data, why have the investors of 3M Investment Group decided to invest and trust in the workchaincenters project despite the enormous risk, lack of regulation and guarantees in this sector?
Very good question, in our case we have the security and tranquility that we get to know the group of companies, team and advisers that are behind the project and that offer us important guarantees:
- Serious and very safe project created and developed by important companies with many years of business experience in the traditional economy and an annual turnover of more than 150 M / €, together with a large team of young people trained and prepared in new technologies, especially Blockchain.
- Great team with the perfect combination: youth, training and strength of university students and entrepreneurs born “in garages”, combined with the experience and knowledge of “fiftyish” businessmen with more than 30 years creating and managing businesses.
- There is a physical, real, tangible, successful and functional product: open coworking centers in Malaga and Seville and new planned openings in Cádiz, Seville and Zaragoza (you can see more information on the web).
- It is a Spanish ICO that complies with all the rules and legal requirements of the European Economic Community (CCE) and has the authorization and approval of the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV).
- The advantages, services, usability, quality and guarantees of the tokens promise a great demand, revaluation and a fast entry into the best exchange platforms.
