The underlying business or organization is important, but tactical questions like hard caps, offer schedules, individual investor caps, strategy, ICO dates, and so on can make or break an ICO. Token purchasers need to know who is making the detailed decisions that create that post-ICO “pop.” marketing RootProject has stayed quiet for a month or so, doing the hard work of organizing… Growing our to 2.2k members, building partnerships with world-famous nonprofits — announcements coming soon! — and hiring some great team members. telegram group It’s a New Year, and it’s time to start showing the world what we’ve been up to.

He is now the CEO of Iconic, the Singapore & Hong Kong-based ICO advisory board. Literally every ICO they’ve advised has more than doubled in price right after listing.

Tom was a cofounder of MapD, has a law degree from Harvard, and most recently was critical to the success of Quantstamp.

More on the fund next week.) Third is , who founded Cognitive, the first company to develop field programmable gate array technology for hash validation in the space.

Next week we’ll announce another three advisors, along with some big announcements about strategic partnerships. In the run up to Davos at the end of January, when we’ll announce the ICO dates, we’ve got a lot of powerful announcements to make. Stay tuned.
