Neufund opens innovation for good; it is the new way to fund ventures. Neufund is a community-owned fundraising platform, an ecosystem of smart contracts operating on the Ethereum blockchain. It acts as a bridge between the investment world and the blockchain space.
Neufund ICO – The Opportunity
Currently, there are unnecessary barriers, including geographical and jurisdictional constraints, that prevent the alliance of inventors and investors from forming. While our networks have grown global and turned digital, traditional asset classes remain highly immobile. Investing through traditional channels is still unnecessarily difficult and expensive, paperwork intensive and depends on a variety of counterparties or intermediaries.
The current investment ecosystem and financial industry rely on governmental intervention to curb the worst excesses of the system. Financial regulations are designed to protect investors; however, with the vast scope and subtleties of these financial regulations, novice investors find themselves entirely excluded from the most attractive opportunities.
Neufund ICO – The Solution
Neufund’s mission is to:
- Reduce transaction costs between the two sides of the investment process,
- Open the investment space for private equity to everyone, not just accredited or high net worth investors,
- Eliminate geographical constraints from venture creation,
- Make real-world private equity fully liquid by tokenizing it,
- Onboard off-chain companies into the crypto economy, and
- Provide legally secure management functions for equity management and issuance.
There is tremendous potential for net positive disruption and innovation through distributed ledger technology in Neufund. In the beginning, their strategy is based on being legally and technically secure and then to gradually decentralize all functions of the platform, thus “tokenizing the enterprise”. This integrates all parts of the business into the community by distributing its ownership widely.
To this end, Neufund has two parallel roadmaps:
- Equity Tokenisation: Build a primary market for equity tokens with four key components: sufficient liquidity, a functioning investment platform, the Neumark token economy, and an attractive portfolio of deals from which all token holders benefit.
- Tokenisation of the Enterprise: Make Neufund redundant by transforming all legal entities into fully token-holder owned “public” companies.
The two main types of actors on the platforms are investors and companies. Investors bring capital to the platform and look for interesting investment opportunities in companies. Companies are businesses of various kinds that look for funding by offering part of their shares to investors. The fundamental transaction of our platform is an investment , where investors become shareholders in companies via Equity Token Offerings (ETO).
Companies can raise funds from investors in their existing network, as well as any cryptocurrency holder, or via the capital pool on the Neufund platform dedicated for funding. Once a company has successfully completed a campaign and issued equity tokens, Neufund provides an easy-to-use user interface for interacting with shareholders. It is possible to hold votes for legally binding resolutions, issue updates and reports, open further fundraising rounds, enable secondary trading of equity tokens, and perform other functions necessary for responsible corporate governance.
The Neufund platform’s value grows when number and volume of investments grow, so its economy must be designed to stimulate investment and reward transacting participants.
To be a self-sustaining system, Neufund is designed to be a true token economy. Its value is reflected by a protocol token called Neumark, which participants earn by committing capital to the platform. This essentially allows people to economically own the ecosystem, a powerful incentive for investors to bootstrap the platform and grow it with further investment.
Neumarks are an attractive asset because they entitle their holders to revenues from platform fees for ETOs (Equity Token Offerings) taking place on Neufund, as well as economic benefit from a platform portfolio pool holding a small amount of every ETO ever conducted.
The platform fee mechanism is a simple one. It is taken from the investment upon each successful ETO on the platform and immediately distributed.
Uniquely, because of the token participation fee, Neumark holders have a stake in every ETO that happens on the platform, even without investing in those tokens directly. This way, the Neumark creates strong alignment between investors, companies, and success of the investment platform. The value of Neumark grows because of all sides of the transaction share in the success.
Neufund ICO – Initial Capital Building Mechanism (ICBM)
Token Symbol: NEU (Neumarks)
Token Type: ERC 20
ICBM Opens: TBA
ICBM Ends: TBA
Blockchain Platform: Ethereum
Neufund’s ICO is a call to commit capital to the Neufund platform in exchange for tokens, that’s why it is called an ICBM – Initial Capital Building Mechanism. Reserve ETH in an Ethereum wallet with the intention to invest it into projects that would ICO in future on Neufund. Token holders have 18 months to pick their favorite investments. Not investing results in full release of funds.
Neumarks (NEU) entitle their holders to revenues from all the future investments’ success fees. Neumarks also allow token holders to participate in the economic benefit from a platform portfolio of all the start-up’s tokens that will ever launch.
