Why is it there?

Equitybase was born with a mission to solve the current investment model’s inefficiencies. Since it's a hybrid of the liquidity of a stock and earnings of a private equity investment, equitybase will address the problems in both fields.

Problem of the Private Equity Market:

Low Liquidity
Equity investments has long lock-in period ranging from 3-10 years, meaning your investments are dead money in that time since you can not easily convert them into cash even in emergency cases in the period.

Barrier of Entry
Commercial investment requires a huge amount to start, which mean ordinary salaryman would have zero chance to step in this market with his income.

Cost of Credit
Interest rate would varies by region and developers equity would be substantial

High Management Fees
Private equity management fees ranging from 2-4% per year

Problem of the Stock Market:

Low Return Rate
Stock market over the past 10 years has average of 7% return per year. In another report done by the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, from 2013-2017, stocks return about 10% annually, which is also not really high.

Funding Accessibility
Developers would be only be able to obtain funding domestically

How will it solve those problems?

As mentioned, the Equitybase Hybrid Market Investments Platform would offer an ecosystem with lots of features to solve those problems:

Equity Reserve.
Equity Reserve will enact as a secondary reserve operator which provides an additional layer of liquidity to the Equity Exchange platform, it will be utilize as a reserve pool to continuous enable platform users to liquidate their holdings with guarantee buyback on the exchange.

Equity Invest.
On Equity Invest, you can buy equity in companies that are raising up to $50M. For some offerings, investment limits apply depending on your income and net worth. You can sell securities on Equity Exchange immediately after the offering has ended. Investors would be able to track all project's financial figures such as earnings, payment history, withdraw dividends & gains and even project credit rating.

Equity Exchange.
Equity Exchange enable investors to trade asset backed securities and utility tokens on the platform via crypto and fiat currency pairing.

And in the upcoming time, specifically in Q4 of 2018, they would introduce the Equity Fund - An Index Fund which will allow investors to gain weighted diverse exposure on Equity Exchange.
