Our business discussion will cover the pro and con side of today’s two main investment options: venture capital and ICO. Romans is the author of two books about venture capital and now he is writing his third book about ICOs and blockchain. Therefore, Andrew is deeply informed with both sides of this world debate and can share his tips, process, and pitfalls.
Blockchain technology represents a new step in the evolution of human beings. It is a distributed database which helps users to fairly exchange their assets, be fully protected by law in the Internet area and to make honest deals without any mediators. This is a huge opportunity for everyone, who feels not safe or not reliably in their country.
There have been more than 1,500 ICOs as of March 2018. The total valuation of all cryptocurrency has reached $320B today. If you had invested $100 in Bitcoin in 2011 that Bitcoin would be worth over $2.5M today.
Learn what are advantages and disadvantages of both types of investment. How much capital do you need to launch an ICO successfully? Does it follow the traditional rounds of seed, Series A and beyond?
