EQUI’s main sale (ICO) goes live tomorrow and it’s the first VC concept being launched on blockchain. The company is allowing investors to utilize its tokens to invest in any startup that qualified to be on the EQUI platform.

The Business Model

The platform is designed like a typical fund: EQUI retains a portion of the profits yielded by the returns on its investors—25% to be precise. While that may seem high for those who are adjusted to typical hedge fund retaining rate of 20%, it’d be important to note that it incentivizes investors by providing them 5% of their investment amount in EQUItoken credits irrespective of whether or not the investment was successful. Therefore, the company needs to retain a bit higher cut from the profits than a typical hedge fund.

The company also sources its revenue by taking a 3% fee on the amount invested; a 2-3% management fee is common among funds. Given that the company has a strong business model in place which has been time-tested by funds across the globe, it’s safe to say that EQUI won’t be going defunct. The long-term value of the tokens is proportionate to the net investments that should be placed on the platform, and this figure is proportionate to the quantity of quality start-ups on the platform.

The EQUI Advantage

The EQUI management has well-established relations across the world and states that they already have an idea of which entrepreneurs qualify to be on the platform. Given the rise of start-ups gathering funds from the crypto community, the company will get a swarm of applicants hoping to be vetted and placed on the platform.

Potential Value

The future estimate of investable start-ups on EQUI’s platform can be astonishingly high, and the net tokens investable on the platform would have to match that value. To get an estimate for VC funds is tough since most of them do not report filings with the SEC. VC management firms trade publicly so it’s relatively easy to gather information on them.

• Blackstone is well-established in VC and equity management and has a present market cap of $42 billion at a healthy P/E ratio below 10; these figures are sustained despite the company’s dividends sitting at a startling 8%.
• The Carlyle Group has a market cap of $8 billion with a healthy P/E ratio of 8; it’s annual dividend rate is 6%.
• While SoftBank is a massive conglomerate with investments in many major firms, I believe its success is driven by its diversified holdings in many, many start-ups across the world. The company is valued at nearly $100 billion and it shows the value investments in start-ups can yield for the investor.

While EQUI itself is not a VC management firm, it will somewhat function like one. Instead of directly taking funds from investors and investing in start-ups, it manages which start-ups will be on the platform. Investors have the freedom to pick which start-up they wish to aim for. All start-ups on the platform will get full support from EQUI capital’s founders; this priceless support will allow entrepreneurs to reach new heights of success.

The Future

EQUI Capital provides support and funds much like a VC, however, it allows EQUItoken holders to have some freedom in where their money goes. The limitation is that there will be a very limited number of start-ups that will meet the company’s standards, but this is in the best interest of token holders.

I have provided valuations of major VC management firms as those are the closest form of companies to what EQUI is going to be. Successful VC management firms have extremely valuable investments in start-ups and this elevates the value of their firm, and a similar reality can be the case for EQUI Capital, only the value isn’t spread within shares but within invested tokens.

EQUI Capital and its tokens can reach impressive heights swiftly after the platform’s launch as this is the only option crypto investors will have to diversify their investments in start-ups that don’t necessarily utilize native tokens.

EQUI is going to revolutionize VC; its ICO main sale goes live tomorrow.
