We work with clients from family offices and investors, to Fortune 100 enterprises and governments, to blockchain startups or estabblished firms looking to launch a token and miners and exchanges looking for liquidity and market making.
We think of a token launch as being similar to the idea of a website launch in the early tech days. Any business network could serve their community better online and eventually every business, and even individuals would have a website. We believe we are at a similar paradigm shift with tokens.
Token-economics are the underlying economic principles that govern how a decentralized application derives value for its token. Token-economics are essential for any successful project as these principals help create token-scarcity, resistance to inflation, product utility & demand, as well as liquidity and token-availability through digital asset exchanges and other blockchain on-ramps.
An ICO is a fundraising vehicle that allows blockchain projects to raise capital through the open market. Rather than raising capital through private equity firms, or through other private channels, an ICO allows project founders to raise capital from its own user base. ICO’s are facilitated by the project minting a new utility token, that is then purchased by the project’s community. When the project eventually goes live, ICO participants can then use their newly accumulated tokens on the platform, or sell them to make a return on their investment.
An STO is a tokenized and digital form of a companies security. Rather then selling these assets through conventional venues like a stock exchange, STO’s allow project founders to sell digitized securities of their project directly to the investor, via blockchain technology. Although the investment process between STO’s and ICOs are similar, the key difference is that ICO’s give the investors utility tokens that they can then use on the platform. While ICO projects might pay their users dividends, the asset they are receiving is not a security, but merely a token that can be used on the platform. Comparatively, STO’s are created as investable securities and should be treated as such.
Yes, that is the fundamental goal of an STO/ICO. When project founders sell utility or security tokens before the project is live, they are selling them at a discounted price, relative to when the project will go live. The goal for STO/ICO investors is that, when the project is live and gains traction in the market, people will be purchasing the utility token from exchanges and other on-ramps to use in the application, thus increasing the price of the token.

An investment roadshow allow for representatives of a company to travel to different cities and meet investors in the region, giving them the opportunity to present and pitch their business in-front of a unique group of investors. Roadshows create a very concentrated environment where founders have intimate face-to-face interactions with accredited investors.
