Now it is difficult to underestimate the power of the growing cryptoeconomy and the opportunities that it creates. Over the past year, the market capitalization of the largest seven cryptocurrencies has increased more than eight times, exceeding $100 billion. Currently, there are more than 800 cryptocurrencies in the world, nine of them have a capitalization more than $1 billion.
The volume of the ICO market demonstrates a galloping growth - we observe the creating of specialized ICO funds, and classical venture capitalists are actively investing in the blockchain (about $232 million only in the second quarter of 2017).
The ICO market "feeds" the growth of cryptoeconomy and gradually becomes an effective mechanism for financing blockchain projects, competing with the classical venture market.
And in June and July 2017, the volume of funds raised through ICO exceeded the world's investment of venture capital funds at an early stage.
Therefore, we can say that this becomes a great tool for business for attracting money, even for non-existing ones. After all, the vast majority of ICO projects do not even have a prototype! Almost everyone can attract money in such a simple way - from any country, with any idea and in a short time.
So, even if you have only an idea - this course will be very useful. And even if you don't have it - the first sections will allow you to understand which direction to choose and what characteristics your idea should meet.
The cost of an ICO, according to various estimates, is from $50,000 to $300,000 now and growing each month. Thus, many projects, including ours, initially conduct pre-ICO in order to raise funds for an ICO.
We spent 59 dollars in total, and are already very close to collecting $200,000. To achieve such results, you need to take into account a lot of nuances, and I will tell about them in this course.
We will go through all the processes step by step and will show you how to attract significant investments in order to create a project. Because what turned out for us, will work for you, since I described in this course-instruction absolutely everything that we did.
