If you haven’t heard - we’re changing the face of crowdfunding. We are creating the world’s first free to use and global crowdfunding platform based on the blockchain.
Move over Kickstarter and Indiegogo, we’re throwing a crowdfunding party and the whole world is invited!
Sounds great doesn’t it? Creating funding opportunities for people in developing countries, not charging fees, and removing the normal barriers to entry.
Why should you join us?
1. Benefit From Attractive Tokenomics
Our fixed supply token (OAK) is an ERC-20 token based on Ethereum – one of the most valuable cryptocurrencies on the market.
Buying OAK tokens will allow you to support projects and have exclusive early access to post-campaign products
The OAK token will be used for all transactions in our crowdfunding hub, post-campaign marketplace, support services and point-of-sales payment app.
Real world utility of our token ensures real demand.
Limited supply of tokens – we will not issue any more tokens after our 65 million OAK hard cap.
Generous token allocation
How can we keep crowdfunding free?
Using blockchain for transactions means that we can all but eradicate transaction fees. Funding via an ICO means we can sustain ZERO platform fees, as opposed to the 3-5% fees charged on other platforms. Using blockchain for transactions means that we can all but eradicate transaction fees. So how does this work for the long-term stability of the platform?
Revenue Generation Mechanisms
Our short term, medium and long- term revenue generation mechanisms ensure that we can keep the platform free for the founders and users. This is a huge competitive advantage over any existing platform.
In our early stages we are doing this through our initial ICO allocation to cover initial operating costs – this is why we have a minimum funding threshold of $5 million in our ICO to ensure the platform build and marketing to the highest standard.
Onwards from this, we will generate revenue in a multitude of other ways, including our operations fund, featured projects, platform data products, and Acorn support services.

Open up crowdfunding to the world
Our pre-sale ICO period launched just two weeks ago and we’re on our way to building the world’s first global free crowdfunding platform.
How can we make crowdfunding accessible to the world?
Our platform will be open to any legal and non-harmful project in any non-sanctioned country.
You may notice that the majority of projects on major reward crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo fall into a handful of categories – usually tech and creative projects. This is because traditional crowdfunding platforms are themselves funded traditionally - funds come from outside equity shareholders who want returns through company profits. This makes them allocate resources only to where they can achieve the most earnings, charging fees and conceivably giving rise to more restrictive project approval criteria
At Acorn, this is different - there is no obligation to generate platform profits for outside shareholders. ICO participants and other token holders, including the company, are rewarded by growth of the OAK ecosystem. We intend to achieve this growth by offering crowdfunding for free and a much less restrictive project approval policy
How will a free crowdfunding platform grow rapidly?
There are up to 2000 crowdfunding platforms to choose from already, so what makes us so sure that ours is going to outperform them all?
Firstly – we will be the only completely FREE reward crowdfunding platform to be open to any country.
There are huge parts of the world where our platform will be in great demand. Many countries in the developing world still don’t have access to traditional funding streams and can’t access traditional crowdfunding platforms. There is extraordinary innovation happening in many parts of the world, but without any access to funding, or even bank accounts in many
Over recent months we have been intensely focusing on accelerator relationships all over the world to open the opportunity to start-ups and entrepreneurs that need funding most. We will be offering incentives to early adopters to rapidly accelerate growth in the early months after the platform launch.
There are 160+ projects waiting to join the platform already, from countries all over the world including India, Nigeria, the Philippines, Indonesia, and South Africa.
Just a few of the projects that we’ve had apply for the platform include an exo-skeleton that helps restore mobility in injured patients’ hands, an insect farming sustainable food project, and a bakery school creating economic opportunity in Nigeria.
The breadth of deserving project ideas is proof that our platform is much needed to enable innovation in underserved parts of the world. There is extraordinary innovation
