Blockchain Potential Impact on Crowdfunding and
Venture Capital

• Disruptive or promising? Both have been used to
  describe blockchain technologys impact on
  business. Cryptocurrency awareness is spreading,
  and investments in tokens are on the rise.
• But just how are the decentralization effects of
  blockchain-based cryptocurrencies disrupting and
  democratizing the venture capital industry? Will
  blockchain technology threaten to displace
  venture capital? And what are its potentials for
  crowdfunding?

The Future of Blockchain Crowd funding Platforms

• A traditional start-up is focused on developing
  and marketing a tangible product or service. But
  what if they created a self-sustaining circular
  economic ecosystem that was supported by its own
  currency or tokens? This idea brought to life the
  blockchain-based start-up.
• By allowing start-ups to create their digital
  currencies to sell, they could raise funds from
  early investors which also allows the investors
  to potentially make money should the value of
  their cryptographic shares increase. Just like
  normal shares in a traditional project, the
  cryptocurrency tokens will have the potential to
  go up in value. And because they are accounted
  for by the blockchain, theyll be kept track of.

• If blockchain-empowered crowd-funding platforms
  may be able to provide the same services
  that venture capitalist provide, what does all
  this mean for the traditional venture capitalist
  whose expertise, network, mentoring and support
  were what made them valuable to start-ups in need
  of raising capital?
• Can innovation replace experienced investors who
  have extensive knowledge in sorting, signaling,
  and supporting early-stage start-ups who are
  seeking customers, employees, or future funding?

• Blockchain tokens issued by start-ups during an
  initial coin offering (IPO) are a more liquid
  asset compared to traditional stock in a private
  company held by venture capital firms. Venture
  capital funds have to 10 years, at most, to
  calculate their IRR and verify their results.
  Blockchain tokens, on the other hand, are
  immediate thus revealing a companys momentum in
  real-time.
• In efforts to secure the future in VCs, were now
  seeing venture capitalists and established firms
  seriously exploring investment in tokens or
  crypto-funds who are trying to get their limited
  partners on board. And it was only a matter of
  time before we would start hearing about smaller
  VCs considering setting up their own crypto-funds.

• VCs can certainly get creative by raising a
  portion of the fund by investing in
  cryptocurrency tokens or invest in the economy
  created by an ICO. Traditionally, venture
  capitalists received preferred shares by buying
  private equity. Now they can acquire shares or in
  the case of this new model, cryptocurrency tokens
  that have been issued by the start-up.
• However, some experts argue that it may it be a
  little too late for VCs to jump on the blockchain
  revolution bandwagon thats already gained so
  much momentum thats its left them behind.
