User Starbase platform user, including both Core Team and Supporter
Early purchaseEarly purchase happens before crowdsale and private offering from core teams to supportive investors such as angel investors. It gives additional early purchaser bonus.
CrowdsaleCrowdsale is public token sale from core teams to public users.Through crowdsale, core teams can purchase tokens from the crowd.
Token Sale Token sale refers Early purchaser + Crowdsale collectively
ICOICO is the event when tokens become transferrable. And Starbase sets the event same time as the core team’s project launch.
Fundraising and Team making is always difficult for core teams, but in blockchain world, it’s easy !
Core teams in Current world Core teams in Blockchain World
1. Difficult to FundraiseIt is difficult to fundraise for projects in early phase, even though it is publically-beneficial project.
1. Issue and sell tokens on blockchain.By issuing and selling tokens (Crypto currency) you can fundraise globally, fasly, and at low cots.
2. Difficult to Recruit Team MembersIt is difficult to recruit good team members at initial stage. Giving stock option(vesting & cliff) may be one option, but it is local, expensive, slow process.
2. Pay tokens for Sharing IncentiveCore teams can get thousands of supports, and pay tokens as a reward for “work”
By sharing tokens as incentives, a project made successful marketing and as a result, $10M crowdfunding without initial cash.
In Iconomi, blockchain fund management project, they issue “ICN” token which has the right to receive dividends, and pay “ICN” for world marketers, translators as “bounty campaign”.
They did successful marketing, and raised $10M for open fund management platform
The blockchain, “Internet of Value” is fairly useful for blockchain people, most of people without knowledge can not use it for their project.
Reason 1 : Technical DifficultyAccepting Bitcoin, Ethereum payments, Issue tokens, Reward payment, Token Allocation, and the backend blockchain knowledge
Reason 2 : Legal ComplianceFundraising shall be complied with the law, but there is few lawyers with knowledge of blockchain technology, and difficult to make the token scheme.
Starbase provides “Adaptable” global token based crowdfunding/sourcing for everyone, including traditional companies + non-blockchain users
Solution 1: No blockchain knowledge & development needed All blockchain related confusing technical issues are done by us. You don’t need any blockchain knowledge or development
Solution 2: Token legal & tax support Starbase provides legal templates for Token issuer and payer and payee with legal & tax partners. It will cost cheaper and faster done by yourself
