Did you know that in the US alone there over 5200 registered after-school activity providers that generate $22B USD revenue on a yearly basis.
 
As a working mother, Joanna knows the concerns that working parents have. The main one being not having the time on hand to search, find, compare and call a number of childcare providers to find the perfect activity for your child.
 
That’s when she had a Eureeka moment and came up with the idea of Afterschool.ae which she started in late 2015 and now generates USD350K in revenue and delivers $2M USD in sales to more than 500+ activity providers from 25K+ registered parents.
 
Afterschool is mobile and web app  2 sided marketplace that helps parents discover, plan and book the best afterschool activities for their children while at the same time we help activity providers to find new customers and manage their business by providing an end-to-end solution to acquire and engage with their existing customers.
 
By decentralizing our platform using ethereum blockchain technology, afterschool allows to be on top of rapidly moving trends in the edtech industry and to scale our business faster by incentivizing both parents and activity providers to participate in our platform.
 


Payment amount bonus
The more you pay with single transaction — the bigger % bonus AST you get. Tier system is below:

If you have any questions feel free to email the founder: Joanna@afterschool.ae or ask on this thread for the team to answer it.

Great concept, I know parents wanting to find some kind of afterschool care is quite a tedious job. I know several people who have suffered physically from bad choices.
Question: Is it just afterschool or does it also provide daycare?

Also are there any bounty's I can participate in.

I can see this as something going global if done right.

I'm excited! There's huge potential in this.

Thanks we will be announcing the bounty in the next couple of days. please stay tuned

Thank you ubercool for posting this thread.

To everyone, we are happy to answer if you have any questions about the upcoming ICO of afterschool.

- cottie

Someone ask a question from one our communication channel and I am adding it here:


At the moment blockchain implementation is still not in place in afterschool.ae and we are aiming to do this post our initial coin offering. We are using the ethereum as a function and signals to release AST token on the surface of ERC20 token standard as a mode of payment and incentivizing our parents and activity providers. We will be decentralizing all the records of the application’s operation in this regards and stored on a public and decentralized blockchain to avoid pitfalls of centralization. Furthermore, to make use of AST token, we will be developing secondary marketplace in which parents/providers that offer services can be negotiated using smart contract.

Everyone!

Here are some of the afterschool highlights success on media!

A question asked from one of our social media channel and adding it to update everyone.



Thank for your question. The token will not be only use as a payment system, we have been developing a rewarding system, where parents and activity providers earn Afterschool tokens (AST) for their successful contributions to our service. Afterschool token will represent the unit of our community driven concept and the service’s growth depend on it. In the future, we aim for the afterschool token to become a go-to digital currency for the education industry as a whole. Besides using the tokens on the Afterschool platform, there will also be an array of smart contracts connected with after school industry where the token will be used as a core digital currency.

Why invest to us? We believe using blockchain technology is an opportunity to keep our platform relevant and can be use not only by activity providers that can pay the expensive subscription but anyone who provides activities for children, this is a huge initiative specially in the emerging market where avg order value is so little that not everyone can acquire a platform for their company to grow and to be more effecient. This also allows us to be on top of rapidly moving trends.

Another reason why invest to us is afterschool already exist as an awesome marketplace and booking management platform and generating revenue, where you can find and book activities for your kids. Afterschool is the first of its kind in the ICO, unlike with the other ICOS out there which is just an existing concept and still the idea stage.

By buying afterschool tokens, you are contributing to a project that already has value and a community covering our backs.  Our team have been working with our partner’s agency that provides technology development to international companies for almost 15 years which includes Dapp development and other use of blockchain technology.

Coverage from http://blocktribune.com/ by David Pimentel .

That put hand on the pulse of the really existing issue in the society which almost every parents are facing. There is no doubt about the need and effectiveness of the concept on what this project will be built. I will be interesting in this and will follow all the development taking place in coming days.

Business Insider posted our press release on their website

Thanks a lot, please make sure to follow this thread for the bounty program

How exactly does this market place work ?
Where so the tokens come into all this. I see you have many girls in your team that's good. Also plans untill 2020. Let's hope you still around then.

We will decentralize our platform to incentivize parents and activity providers. We will be developing a rewarding system protocol, where users earn Afterschool tokens (AST) for their successful contributions to our service and similarly for activity providers to use the platform and engage with the customers.

We have received our recent review from https://bitcoinexchangeguide.com/afterschool/ 

just made a steemit post about the project
hope you enjoy it my friends

https://steemit.com/blockchain/@lucasgabd/looking-into-projects-with-real-world-application-afterschool-will-coonect-parents-and-activity-providers-for-kids

i have uploaded the romanian AfterScool project ann into local threads
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2225485.0

I dont see any update from the team recently. Is this project dead or the team vanished with the raised money.? Too many ICO's popping up everyday and I had thought this is a good project.

This is something very unusual for ICO at least as far as I have seen.
It seems to me that there is no innovation regarding block-chain use here, but it is used simply to rise funds for company which already exists and is promising.

Which is very positive, its very similar how private companies go public in stock market only in this case they are using blockchain and its a lot cheaper and easier.

Afterschool ICO ANN

​First of all, we would like to thank everyone for all the help we’ve been getting since we started our ICO. We’re proud of our team and our advisors who came together and all we’ve accomplished in the past two weeks. Together, we’ve raised our goal of 11 M Afterschool tokens, supported by private crypto fund investors and 378 indvidual backers.

However, recent circumstances led us to a decision. After carefully considering the announcement published by the Abu Dhabi Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) last October 9, Afterschool voluntarily suspends its ongoing crowdsale temporarily in order to make sure that we comply to the FSRA guidelines and policies. We are reaching out and once we have clarity, we will be conducting our ICO accordingly.

In the next 24 hours, we will be returning all pledged tokens to our contributors on the similar ETH address that was used for contribution. Please reach out to us on admin@afterschool.ae for any questions you may have. Our tokensale page will be inactive starting today, 12th October 2017.

It has been an incredible journey and we hope to sort things out soon. We’ll update again. Thank you!

this project will stoped and all fund already collected will be refund to all investors ?
this is the second time I see ico that has been running but stalled due to legal issues

This is the first time I see ICO stopped because of legal issues. Thats very unfortunate that this has stopped since it is solid,real project with working product already in market. I saw this project as alternative to stock market.

 Дeнь дoбpый! Пoдcкaжитe кaк ceйчac paзвивaeтcя вaш пpoeкт ? Чтo плaниpyeтe peaлизoвaть дaлee ? Bce ли идeт пo плaнy coглacнo вaшeй дopoжнoй кapтe ?

Interesting idea, so are you going to help US only? Or anyone can participate?

Finally something of my interest.
