EQUI, Backing Tomorrow’s Leading Businesses

So what is EQUI, and why should you care?

EQUI is designed to bring professional investors and individuals together to help fund the development of innovative business ventures. It is a venture capital based investment platform built using the Ethereum blockchain, and hopes to disrupt the traditional venture investment market by bringing a blockchain based ledger into the equation.

To do this, EQUI uses its own token to allow investors to purchase stakes in startups, and established companies looking for a funding injection to take their idea to the next level. By purchasing stakes in these companies, the investors will be awarded with great investment returns and awards on their initial investment and helping innovators and entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life.

EQUI believes that its system will help to eliminate the monopoly of big venture capital firms on the investment industry, and allow ordinary individual investors to participate in funding promising entrepreneurial endeavours. In order to make this process simpler for the typical investor, the EQUI project will source and categories the best investment opportunities in relay this information via their platform, allowing investors to make informed decisions about their investments. In total, 75% of the profits generated by funded projects are shared to EQUI token holders/investors, whilst the remaining 25% goes to the EQUI team.

On the EQUI platform, there will be three types of token holders;

• ·         Investors

These are EQUI users who contribute their EQUI tokens to new and exciting projects. 70% of the profits generated by these projects will be shared between investors using the EQUI platform.

• ·         Holders

Unlike investors, EQUI token holders instead choose to hold onto their tokens, without committing them to a project. Holders will receive 5% of profits generated by projects funded by the EQUI platform.

• ·         Traders

These are individuals who choose to remove their EQUI tokens from the platform ecosystem, and instead trade them via exchanges. These will not receive a share of the profits.

Token details and sale event

Like most other token sales, the EQUI platform is based on Ethereum’s ERC-20 standard, with its token known as EQUItoken. This is a utility token that allows investors to contribute to financing projects they like, or they can simply hold their tokens on the platform for a smaller share of the profit generated.

The total supply of EQUItokens is capped at 250,000,000, of which 65% (162.5 million) will be available to purchase during the ICO at a rate of $0.50 per EQUItoken. The EQUI project accepts payment in BTC, ETH, LTC and XRP during the ICO, with a minimum investment set at $100. The token sale is scheduled to run between 8^th and 31^st of March 2018, and was preceded by a pre-sale in the week before this, which had a minimum investment of $100,000.

Out of the total supply, 65% will be sold during the token sale, 12% will be distributed to the founders (locked for 6 months), and 15% will be distributed to the rest of the team as quarterly payments over two years, similarly 6% will be distributed to the team advisors under the same conditions, whilst the remaining 2% is distributed to the advertisement bounty.

Our thoughts;

EQUI promises to bring the venture investment market to the average individual using its EQUItoken staking system. With generous rewards and an experienced team on deck, the project appears to have a strong foundation. Although we feel the idea isn’t particularly innovative, it does appear relatively simple to implement, but perhaps the payout ratio is too high to maintain in the long term. Whatever the case, we award this project a 7.5/10, the experience of its team, and the simplicity of its plan make it highly likely to materialize in the near future.
