<a href="https://www.aco.ai/" target="_blank">Acorn Collective</a> is building what it believes to be the first crowdfunding platform that is free and open to projects from any country. It accomplishes this using its <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/blockchain" target="_blank">blockchain</a> platform and its native token, OAK. By pledging to never reject a legal and ethical project, <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/acorn" target="_blank">Acorn</a> aims to democratize access to funding and support founders, especially those in emerging and developing markets who have a difficult time attracting capital.
