Scottish business partners Doug Barrowman and Michelle Mone are raising money to launch EQUI, a cryptocurrency investment platform. They hope that EQUI will make the venture capital investment available to ordinary people who want to start a business: "For the first time, everyday people, non-industry professionals, will have the change to back an investment that usually they only get to hear about in the media after the event," said Barrowman. Those who will bring their businesses on the EQUI board will benefit from the guidance, knowledge, and support of a very experienced team, including two of the UK's most successful people.
Participants and Project Investment
Essentially, EQUI is a web application based on the popular Ethereum blockchain. As described in their project vision, blockchain technology is revolutionizing our world, both in business and in our everyday life when we interact with each other.
The EQUI platform is where projects will be showcased, assessed and evaluated by the EQUI Investment Team before publication. Every project will be stored using a Smart Contract, which ensures security and reliability for all participants while including all information related to the project.
EQUI offers a flexible business scheme that allows participants to be control of their investment decisions. Therefore, they can buy EQUItokens and use them as: investors, holders or traders. Participants can choose to invest in as many projects they want to, or choose to invest in those they are interested in. After a while, investors will be able to receive a share (70%) of the profits their chosen companies will make. There is a detailed proposition in the whitepaper that explains each role of each participant.
ICO and Tokens
Anyone who wishes to support their vision is welcome to participate in the ICO. The funds raised through this will enable fast development of the platform and all other aspects of the business. EQUI will launch the pre-sale on the 1st of March 2018 for investors willing to participate with a minimum of $100,000. The public ICO will start on the 8th of March ending on 31st of March 2018 with a minimum investment level of $100. Unlike other ICOs, this public sale requires all participants to provide some extra information regarding their identity.
In an article by Business Insider UK, Barrowman claims that investment offers shouldn’t represent a problem to EQUI platform, given his previous experience. Moreover, EQUI seems to be even more promising and powerful as Baroness Mone says they’ve got incredible reputations: “This whole cryptocurrency world is based on trust. People know who Doug is. They know who I am. There’s no way we’re going to do anything to let these people down. We will try our utmost."
