The Solution - Investx ?
Investx is a new type of crowdfunder. Using a legal contracts framework at the cutting edge of fintech, smart contractswill transact deals on our crowdfunding platform. This will reduce costs and complexity for the businesses raising fundsand give transparency, security and value for investors. We like businesses with proper track records: Investx’ primary focus is on more mature businesses requiring an injection of funds to allow growth and increased profitability (“growth businesses”). That’s a big pool of businesses and we know it well. Investors will have access to historic financial reports and past financials trends to help assess the investment, as well as the forecasts and future plans of the business showing how the investment will help the business. We will of course also list early stage businesses for those investors attracted by higher risk opportunities, and we’ll provide all the same benefits to those businesses. Reaching more investors: Investx plans to ensure as wide a possible investor base can be reached, by focusing resources on meeting marketing and investment compliance with major global jurisdictions. Cryptocurrency has a global reach and Investx will target investors globally. With a larger pool of investors, there will be investors to suit a wider range of types of business, so successful fundraising will come easier. Much wider range of deal structures: Investx will lead and transact deal types from fast minority interest fundraises injecting funds into a growing business, up to to hands-on deals with growth oversight where existing shareholders are bought out and new or existing management team given a new opportunity to accelerate growth. Investors are more likely to invest when their investments are liquid: We plan to create a fluid secondary marketplace to allow investors in SMEs to sell the shares they bought on the portal to other investors. Distributed ledger technology will transact the legal contracts and record the latest shareholder ledgers seamlessly. Greater investor engagement: Investors want the businesses they’ve invested in to succeed of course,s o engagement via the portal is promoted and we will encourage the investor community to fine tune the interaction types. If an investment has been sold to a different investor on our secondary market, that’s no problem; the business will always have a connection to the latest list of investors. Investor profiling: Investors will be incentivised to offer up information about their preferred sector, deal type, industry, risk-profile, size of investment and more. As investments are made through the platform we will further create a deep and powerful investor preference knowledge base. Statistics derived from this knowledge base will be used to direct marketing at businesses we know investors will like. Better share pricing for investors: Businesses listing on the platform will be more confident dealswill complete becauseofour understandof our investor base, and this will enable Investx to negotiate a better share price for investors.Business owners will give a better deal to investor for a greater certainty of completion, a simpler and more cost effective transaction with an added value investor base.
Why does the Investx Platform use the INX token ?
INX tokens are designed to power the Investx platform, and by using blockchain technology the platform offers
the following advantages over traditional crowdfunding:
- The use of INX tokens allows our dynamic currency supply model to be implemented, transacting according to deal
funding, dividends and company sale pay-outs, with controlled authorisations for minting and burning of tokens. - INX will be used to purchase shares during a fundraise using smart contracts which will execute the necessary legal
processes with total autonomy and reliability. - INX will use the Ethereum public blockchain which is inherently self-administering, secure and scalable.
- The use of INX tokens allows Investx to transact a high volume of deals with speed and costs traditional crowdfunders
cannot achieve. - Having INX tokens already distributed and marketed creates an engaged global investor pool primed to commit
to investment opportunities and long term engagement.
