World ICO Show provides an opportunity for ICO projects to present themselves to big investors all around the world with total assets more than $2 billion.
The participating investors in the World ICO Show are all qualified investors, who are verified by the International Decentralized Association of Cryptocurrency and Blockchain (IDACB). Some of them already have a standing reputation as participants of IDACB in different countries and have a significant investment portfolio.
The World ICO Show is solving one of the major issues faced by many blockchain projects as they struggle to communicate efficiently with the investors, thus creating an impression that the teams don’t meet the criteria of severe backers’ investment estimation. It is mainly due to the lack of knowledge about the assessment criteria among the team members, and the absence of necessary experience (as most of them are startups) to package their business properly to make it easy for the investors to understand the projects’ true potential.
High net worth investors have clear project selection criteria, verified metrics and their own internal classification of startups’ perspective. IDACB experts investigated these criteria and compiled generalized parameters (more than 180 points). The World ICO Show verification committee uses this system to evaluate the projects that desire to pitch themselves to these investors.
“We have unique handmade database within 1000+ backers from $10M basic investment amount each. We gathered these “diamonds” from all over the world, and we know each one of them.”
World ICO Show specialists not only assess the ICOs but also recommend the projects for improvement in case of non-compliance with specific parameters, to better meet the expectations of big investors.
“Projects are spending great money to organize their road-show, but effectiveness usually is not higher than 10% of expected fees. And this is in the best way. We have statistics from different sources, in particular, from IDACB members from 100 countries,” – says IDACB International Secretary, Maxim Chereshnev, founder and ideologist of WORLD ICO SHOW. “And meanwhile, for example, we gathered our investors’ database for more than six months, we are in personal contact with them, their qualifications are confirmed by the time, their portfolios, and their activity on the market.”
The first pitching session of WORLD ICO SHOW will be held in Moscow, during the World Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Summit (WBCSummit) on May 19-20 of 2018. The summit, organized by IDACB, will be attended by more than 3000 participants, projects from over 100 countries, 300+ speakers, and at least 100 qualified investors.
Representatives of countries have already joined the project selection process from different parts of the states where the regional World ICO Show will be held during the year. The sessions are scheduled to be held in Dubai, Tashkent, Shanghai, Chisinau, Yerevan, Malta and other countries of Europe, North America, Middle East, Africa and Asia.
“I’d like to address the organizers of the ICO. We’re making efforts to collect for you wholesale backers. Two or three of them can close your Hard Cap you don’t need to gather hundreds. – continues Maxim Chereshnev. – Join WORLD ICO SHOW, and we will give you not only expertise and anti-scam checks but also access to unique investors. Qualitative due diligence will certainly look good to investors, and anti-scam protection is needed for investment safety. But we select the best ICOs of course, which our verification committee will believe”. — concludes M. Chereshnev.
