It is often better to find new startup treasures in 'developing markets'. For the most part this is the cheaper option, plus the companies tend to be more ambitious. Countries with excellent startup infrastructures and an impressive business history are world leaders in making new businesses big, but the market in these areas is very competitive among investors, where they tend to fight more fiercely for prospective technologies and people.
On the other hand, there are many countries where investment risk is not just about the market.
They are often about the unpredictable state of the country, lack of communication infrastructure, and many other factors outside the established norm of the investment culture.
Secondly, there are industries which seem to be highly underestimated and difficult to quantify.
These do not include models such as Uber or Facebook. For example, the IT security industry - the true weapon of the 21st century - how many unicorns have you heard of in this sector? Is it easy to mention the biggest and most known companies, with the best track record of experts?
Incubators that allow them to prosper, or maybe die? And critically, who can we trust when investing in the above mentioned markets? Many tech industries are like this.
Thirdly, the startup world has always been easier for venture capitalists. Most of the really significant funds risk a lot with big money. However, this sphere of investment is highly aware that most of the startups they may invest in can easily lose money and slide into bankruptcy. On the flip side, they can also afford to conduct intensive examinations of the startup team, invite expert advisors to help them understand the prospects, including pitfalls of the startups, and engage in long, complicated and expensive paperwork and administration while initially choosing and operating the start up.
Nowadays there are also many private investors who possess a strong desire to help startups create great products. On the down side, they don't possess the same financial clout as the bigger players to research and invest in technologies, markets, and the startup team. Every investment is a risk and may be highly crucial to the private investor.
BALTIC FUND AND THE ECOSYSTEM
Imagine an ecosystem, where any startup can obtain the best there is – from their creation till they exit. We talk here about top-notch level of expertise, support from the governmental institutions, a chance to dive into the community backed events and initiatives, supervision of best advisors and many more. This is something we created. And we call it - Baltic Fund Ecosystem.
HOW IT WORKS
Lets’ crowd-incubate the startups!
We are building the platform, where you support the startups you like with BALT tokens and get perks or income for doing this. Be the first one to get the unique products and other benefits from the most promising CEE and CIS startups!
All the startups, registered at the platform, post a token investors’ proposal:
• how many tokens do they need
• what do they need them for (development, production, marketing, etc.)
• what would they offer their backers in return
So, what startups can offer you for your support:
• their products and services
• partnership and collaboration (help with some of your tasks)
• tokenized loan (they take your tokens, and give them back to you with multiplication after a certain period, buying BALT tokens at a public crypto exchange)
How startups can participate:
• offline, using our incubator space and its production facilities
• online, using our services and partners facilities
How does Baltic Fund and NHB incubator help startups for the tokens you invested:
• incubation program with the experts from EU and the US, and our own mentors
• production and engineering facilities, other incubator’s office opportunities
• BHV.Labs’ developers, designers, marketers, PR pros, analysts, engineers, etc.
• venture partners
• and the growing number of new opportunities!
What happens after the incubation:
• startups launch their products (and the contributor gets one)
• partnership and collaboration (help with some of your tasks)
• startups grow and develop (and the price of your investments grow)
An investor gets product and income, a startup develops, we help and manage.
