EQUI: Revolutionizing Capital Market with New Innovative Token

The future of capital market seems like can’t be separated from blockchain technology as cryptocurrency has been playing a significant part as a tradable asset in the digital market. The increasing awareness of blockchain technology is followed by the development of financial institutions’ advancement in this sector, particularly Initial Coin Offering (ICO), where wide-public can join and purchase the currency. At the same time, the revolution in the commerce and finance market is also increasing venture capital space which comes into two typical types of structures, including equity and convertible debt. Here is EQUI invented as a gateway to maximize venture capital investment opportunities for wider participants to be successful entrepreneurs.

What’s EQUI?

EQUI is a new digital token that comes from the fusion of a cryptocurrency with investment platform founded by Doug Barrowman and his team.

By inventing on EQUI capital, it aims to connect the traditional fundraising way of venture capital market to today’s cryptocurrency community on blockchain technology. EQUI use ERC20 as tokens that allow access to the EQUI platform and give ability to invest in the available projects.

After the pre-sale for EQUI tokens is officially opened on March 1st, 2018, this project is highly expected that investment opportunities in the venture capital world will be more open to ordinary investors. The reason is that the recent venture capital industry is still restricted to a small number of individuals and companies. By bridging the way of traditional venture capital fundraising with blockchain technology such as digital tokens, EQUI wants more ordinary investors can experience the benefits including moneymaking opportunities and powerful investments.

How Does EQUI Platform Look Alike?

EQUI is presented with a web-based application that can be easily accessed by anyone through web-browser. Later, EQUI platform will be developed by the funds raised following the ICO. EQUI platform will ensure a more user-friendly and only provide relevant information for investors to help them plan their investments and review their portfolio.It also works to process and store credentials, related information, and all transactions data.

Moreover, in the case when participants want to hold their tokens, it can be stored on the platform to be traded through public exchanges or used in the future investments. Overall, by utilizing the technology of blockchain from Ethereum, EQUI will use Smart Contracts with its virtual machine so the security, reliability, and transparency are guaranteed for all participants in the EQUI platform.

To be eligible for using EQUI platform, each participant should complete Know Your Customer (KYC) process. If the participant meets the eligibility requirement, they will have EQUI profile. The profile is created with unique Ethereum wallet that can provide the facility to deposit their EQUI tokens acquired.

During the registration in the ICO to be able using EQUI platform, each participant needs to provide their full name, address, and scanned copies of proof of identity to validate the account. Unluckily, the participants with United States of America, China, South Korea, Singapore, and Canada citizenship won’t be able to invest in the ICO.

How Investors Benefitted by EQUI?

Following the market trends, EQUI founders realize that the investment market has started to be more expanded by incorporating with the trend of blockchain technology and digital currencies. Here, EQUI provides EQUI tokens that built on Ethereumblockchain platform so investors can purchase stakes then get the benefits from the investment returns and rewards.

So, who can buy EQUI tokens? There are 3 types of participants who can purchase EQUI tokens according to their situations, including:

• First, investors who commit EQUI tokens to be used on the EQUI platform. The investor has the opportunity to determine a completely flexible commitment to meet their project. They will receive 70% of the profits from the invested project. They can also participate in the EQUI credits loyalty scheme equates to 5% of the invested tokens. Later, the credits can be converted to EQUI tokens at the end of each year then transferred to EQUI wallets.
• Second, holders who also participate in the EQUI platform but choose to hold their tokens without committing to those projects. They will receive 5% of profits from the projects.
• Third, traders who choose to remove their tokens from the platform but still can get benefit only from any enhancement in the token price.

The EQUI want to ensure that the offered proposition can provide flexibility and control for the participants to all decisions regarding their investment process. That’s why those three EQUI tokens’ holders can access the platform then give a review to the selection of investment projects. After that, the EQUI Investment Team will assess and evaluate the selected projects before publication. The sharing benefits are 75% will be returned to investors and holders, while the remaining 25% will go to investment team as performance reward. In this kind of structure, the design will allow the interests of all parties can remain aligned while maximizing the value.

However, if the project fails to reach the required amount until the investment closing date, it will be marked as incomplete. If a project is incomplete, the invested EQUI tokens will be returned to the investors’ EQUI wallets. So, what is going to happen if an inventing company fails to make any profit? Yes, of course, in early stage a company should be aware of the high risks of illiquidity, loss of investment, dilution, and lack of dividends. So, prevention is highly needed to reduce the risk. The investors are highly recommended to implement a diversification strategy when they build a portfolio on the EQUI platform.
