Your previous experience was with Naton HR Slovenia — what exactly were your responsibilities and accomplishments?
In The past 22 years, I have developed many companies. For the last 8 years, I have been developing Naton HR, that has been a Slovenian HR Agency and now is a regional one, present in 4 countries with over 1500 employees.
How did you expand your business to other countries?
Mostly with hard work and our expertise, we have been traveling, visiting factories and making business from Ljubljana to Sofia.
What was the reason behind the merge of Naton and Work Service?
As we develop through the SE Europe, we catch an eye of an HR giant Work Service that was looking for a strategic partner in the Adriatic region.
How did you come up with the idea of 4th Pillar?
Due to many challenges in cross-border finances and the need for specific HR solutions, the 4th Pillar came to light.
What is your project about? What does your platform do?
We solve multiple cross-border payments, we solve sensitive document distribution and we offer the possibility for recruitment based on verified work history.
What would you say are the 3 things that make your ICO special compared to countless other ICOs out there?
We have a clear business model, we have a working BETA, we are coming from real business and we know what specific industry needs.
What is the significance of the name 4th Pillar? Are there 4 Pillars? If yes, what are they?
Why not use crypto for the individual fourth pillar savings concept, because cryptocurrencies have special properties, for example, no inflations, extreme security, and no intermediaries.
Are there any other ICOs or blockchain projects that are disrupting the same market as you are and how do you differ from them?
There are a number of great ICO projects currently on the market, but mostly solving HR issues using smart contracts. The 4th Pillar offers complete finance and HR ecosystem of solutions for individuals, organizations, and recruiters.
What is your ICO strategy in the current bearish crypto market? What do you plan regarding the presale and public sale announcements?
Currently, we are in the Early contribution phase and we have a lot more to do, we will announce the presale when the time is right.
How many tokens are offered to the public? How many are there altogether? What is the purpose of your so-called “vault”? Can the vault become empty?
We are offering 152.000 FOUR tokens for public sale, the complete number is 400.000.000 FOUR token. The Vault is an address that contains FOUR tokens that will be used for direct token sale to organizations for EURos at market price. That’s how we are merging crypto and fiat business world because we cannot expect big companies to bother with opening a number of crypto exchange accounts.
There is a lot of discussions nowadays about security and utility tokens. Which one is yours and why?
We are 100% UTILITY token. FOUR token provides access to professional identity verification-related services and serves as main value and gas in a decentralized, token-based ecosystem. FOUR token also represents a unit on the network. The bigger the network grows the more utility in the token. Designed and embedded in the blockchain infrastructure, it can serve as a very important part of the blockchain and be a valuable addition to its ecosystem. As the number of tokens is fixed, there could not be any inflation effect. As the adoption of the 4th Pillar network and FOUR token transaction volumes within grows, this creates and drives further demand for the FOUR tokens.
Do you really need blockchain for your platform and project? Could it be done without it?
Without blockchain, there is no 4th Pillar project.
Your Dapp BETA was just released. Can you describe it? What will it do? How do you tackle security problems?
Our DAPP currently in the BETA version has the ability to manage multiple crypto payments, open wallets for individual and organizations, manages accounts conformations. The current BETA presents the foundations of the 4th Pillar project, we are already developing the addon that will be able to also manage sensitive document distribution from organizations and individuals, for example, monthly payslips, we are the new electronic postal service for sensitive documentation distribution.
What makes you positive that you can accomplish what you set yourself to do in this project?
We are hitting the market in September this year, we have already made deals with early adopters.
Where do you see the 4th Pillar in 5 years? In 10 years?
According to our business strategic plan, in 5 years we will cover Europe, hopefully, in 10 years, we will cover the world.
Try to describe the 4th pillar project in 1 sentence.
