The process of capital raising is the first step any business must take to get its engines started. The seemingly invulnerable tech giants of today were once start-ups seeking sources of funds, and some of the start-ups that are seeking sources to raise capital will one day be the new seemingly invulnerable giants later in the future.
Only about a decade ago, raising funds for business ideas was limited to a few means which included; savings, requests to friends and family members, unlikely aid from a bank — which contributed to plenty of time wasted and heavy initial costs and plenty of time wasted due to red tapes involved to get the opportunity for a bond issuance or stock offering.
Then blockchain technology and cryptocurrency market came along and shook things up and gave life to ICOs. Coin or token offerings were a poster-child of crowd-funding campaigns mastered by early platforms like Kickstarter, and the zealous drive of the crypto community to bring decentralization to mainstream entrepreneurial and industrial status quos.
Today, blockchain technology and its dApp projects through ICOs and its derivatives (such as ITO, IDO, IEO) are allowing businesses to raise tens and even hundreds of millions of dollars, and this has given way to a new revolution in innovative technological advancement. Any entrepreneurial idea has the potential to be funded by the market itself: ICOs put the historic quote of Abe Lincoln that says “By the people, for the people;” into economic perspective. And so far, the result has been a marvelous eruption of innovative technologies challenging the most established companies and enterprises.
Now it is time to go beyond challenging companies and to challenge entire systems.
An Entrepreneurial platform: Tokoin
Tokoin is about to be the newest addition to the list if revolutionary ICOs aimed to disrupt the cryptocurrency market. However, Tokoin isn’t only bringing a new product to the market, it is providing a template to improve on something that has been core to the blockchain movement from the very first days of its existence: ''opportunities for all''
There is no slight doubt that the blockchain is a technological marvel and that ICOs have had a massive social and economic impact, however, the power of ICOs is limited only to, as the name hints, coin offerings. There are plenty of entrepreneurial ideas out there that do not have the need to build on the blockchain and so do not, or rather, cannot issue tokens.
That’s where Tokoin steps in.
Tokoin is an intuitive solution that allows Micro, Small And Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to digitize their data and information into a digital business identity that will be useful in securing financial support or capital for their businesses.
