Sponsy is a platform that makes use of today’s revolutionary technology, including blockchain, to disrupt the way brands and events do sponsorships. Thanks to decentralization of decision-making and automation of operational processes, we not only reduce costs, but also make sponsorships available to every business.

Our goal is to create a whole world of sponsorships with Sponsy, which will eventually become de facto and de jure standard for doing sponsorships.



Sponsorship is currently considered one of the fastest growing marketing segments not only in the USA but worldwide. Everybody today has probably been exposed to a sponsorship deal in one form or another – be it a sports championship like FIFA partnering with McDonalds, some athlete making arrangements with Nike or musical festival affiliated with Heineken.

The market of sponsorship deals has already exceeded $60Bn of annual investment and is poised to reach $90Bn by 2019. This incredible growth is happening because of popularization of large sponsorships deals and the performance of previous transactions.


Despite its size and significance, the whole sponsorships industry, with 40% of dissatisfied sponsors and sponsored parties, begs for improvement.

Sponsorship industry is heavily biased towards big and influential AAA-sized corporations

Sponsorships today are mostly done with the help of intermediaries, which are called sponsorship agencies or brokers. Main problems of the industry arise from an incredible centralization of the market. A number of very large brokers, like Creative Artist Agency, Boras Corporation, etc., have captured a significant market share, which now allows them to dictate their own terms. There brokers tend to favor big deals between prominent brands and properties over affairs between smaller companies and venues. This is a huge disaster for yet-to-grow brands struggling to find ways to promote themselves.

Quality of services is not good enough

The history of sponsorship deals is full of examples of multimillion-dollar litigations, which occurred because of the inability of some lawyer to conclude the contract in a correct way.


Fees are insane

The average fee charged by a sponsorships agency nowadays can reach astonishing 35% of a funding amount!

Small local events are overlooked by traditional sponsorships agencies as being unable to provide substantial financial return



We are making sponsorships available to everyone! We present a distributed solution, which unites companies from all over the world that are willing to get involved into sponsorships.


Decentralizing decision-making

One of our biggest advantages lies in the ability of thousands of independent consumers - our tokenholders - to express opinion on the upcoming sponsorship deal. These people are sure not experienced in doing sponsorships, but they represent the target audience, whose positive impression is so desperately desired by brands and events. The analysis of the votes of token holders allows looking at the sponsorship transaction through the eyes of end-consumers and making correct decision.

Abandoning full-time workforce

Traditional brokers conduct sponsorship deals with use of their limited circle of employees. This does not allow them to reliably estimate the advantages and disadvantages of a potential sponsorship deal. We are not going to hire hundreds of full-time employees, such as designers, lawyers, etc., because then we will constrain our collective intelligence to the people we have hired.

Instead, we will allow experts distributed across the world to participate in the implementation of every transaction. This would eliminate errors and speed up the process. By introducing a truly innovative proof-of-work-done concept, we can ensure trust and verifiability of the work executed by our experts.

Unprecedented discount on experts’ services

The experts’ services marketplace, present in Sponsy, resembles a typical freelance exchange. As we do not plan to profit from the services rendered by experts within our network, we do not charge experts any fees. This effectively results in prices 20-25% lower than market average. By charging such low prices for high quality services, we expect to receive heightened attention from companies interested in sponsorships.

Speed of work

The sponsorship industry today is notorious for being terribly time-consuming and unpredictable. The average sponsorship deal can take up to a year to complete! Sponsy can handle it in 1 month.


SPONS is an ERC20 compatible token. SPONS token is implemented as a combination of a token-as-currency, a token-as-discount, and a token-as-membership. SPONS token is utility token and is not a security.

Serving as an inner currency

In order to stimulate the usage of SPONS tokens, all platform’s members are incentivized to use SPONS tokens for mutual financial settlements.

Carrying a voting right

Possession of SPONS tokens allows for voting about potential future sponsorship deals.

Acting as discount

Relying on SPONS tokens to pay for the services rendered by experts within our network is the basis for obtaining a discount of 9-25% of the amounts charged by experts.

We burn a part of our net profits

We burn 65% of net profit we make after each sponsorship transaction

Hi everyone! Just added Sponsy ICO to my website https://concourseq.io/Q/Sponsy. ConcourseQ is a collaborative due diligence community that researches and reviews ICOs. Anyone with an account can submit information to your page, so we are reaching out to this community to get you all involved in the discussion. Thanks! PS: If you have any questions about filling in the info, feel free to ask us in our discord group: https://discord.gg/j8RBAwB

Seems a good project , what's about the bounty ? and the details of ico?

No community manager to answer questions here?

Well , this is an interesting project , but is not in good management. Good luck to your team .

Hello! Sorry for being so late - we are only getting started!

Right now we are preparing our bounty program. which is going to include social networks, blog posts, signature campaign, as well as offline events. Stay tuned as we are going to roll it out soon!

The tokensale details are available on our website:

Soft Cap : $5.000.000
Hard Cap: $14.000.000

The exact dates of the tokensale are yet to be announced.

Hello! Tell me please, when is Bounty and where can I see the details and rules of the Bounty?

Здpaвcтвyйтe! Cкaжитe пoжaлyйcтa, кoгдa Бayнти и гдe мoжнo пocмoтpeть дeтaли и пpaвилa Бayнти ?

Hello! We are very close to making our Bounty Campaign available to the public. In order not to miss it, please subscribe to our newsletter - on our website (https://sponsy.org).

Hello, pls also clarify about Airdrop as well.

I can at the right time, hoping that I'll be able to join the bounty campaign.
Hopefully that the bounty will be interesting to follow.
Good luck dev.

can you guarantee with your token?
while your tokensale no bonus is given at all

When buying tokens today, you effectively receive a 34% discount (when comparing to the SPS token price during the main sale)l

When Private Sale finishes, no more tokens are to be sold with such a low price.

Subscribe! Tell me, has not the Bounty begun yet?

We are perfecting the details of our Bounty Campaign. It is going to be quite extensive. Stay tuned!

Decentralizing Events and Sponsoship coordination, This seems quite a very ambitious project.
The team looks solid too with a great past experiences on this field.
I wish nothing but success. Good luck guys  ;D

Thank you! The solution we are building is sought-after by many brands.
Now we aim to let as many people as possible participate in making our plans true.

The innovation of the sponsy team allows us to define good sponsors if we create an event. So that we can minimize operational costs, it is suitable if it can be developed in the future. Hopefully all his team can promote this project with incentive to attract many investors.

hello dev, i saw right now SPONSY in a private sale stage, is there any minimum buy and maximum buy for this private sale ?
need information about this, thanks dev 

Hi! Yes, there is a minimum contribution of 2ETH / 0.2 BTC. No maximums are there.

Polish ANN is live!

I encourage the Polish community to ask questions about this fantastic project in my thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2961136.0).

Good luck!

Hello! And are there threads in other languages on the forum? I read the available information and found the topic of the project interesting. But something there is no discussion of the project here, the silence.

Hi! Yes, there are multiple ANN threads in various languages. The head post of this thread has just been updated to include links to other languages.

Hi! I believe this report should be posted to Bounty ANN thread, which is available here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2927789.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2927789.0)

Hello,

I can do the spanish translation, msg if u want it.

Hi! Spanish translation is reserved already.

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to make an introduction. If I can answer any questions, please feel free to ask.

Chris Bouchard
Chief Strategy Officer, Sponsy

Small and medium businesses are well aware of all the benefits sponsorships provide, but are constantly overlooked by typical agencies because of their small size.
It's true.

Yeah. The process of finding sponsors is totally tedious. We've seen it multiple times when promising events have to spend months (!) to find sponsorship financing.

so is the end of the ico set ?

Not yet; as well as the start of it. Currently working hard to get prepared to it.

Thank you for adding Sponsy on you list!

Have to say, this project looks really impressive with a strong use case and a good economic model.  There is only a question of which large sponsors can you guys land to actually kickstart your platform and begin to attract people from both sides of the equation?  Or have you already got some large sponsors who have committed?

Rules and procedures are perfect, can get a large sponsor support will further accelerate, if not, also can through the steady development and growth

Hello! We've been signing up mid-sized and large sponsors recently. They express willingness to cooperate with us. More partnerships to be disclosed shortly!

I need time to study the whole concept at least once more to understand few important elements before taking decision. Fortunately, easily three whole days are till the end of private sale so it is more than sufficient time for me to prepare everything including technical aspects. I have this on hold to status right now.

Is there any way to know whether you guys are approaching your soft cap? Will you disclose some numbers after the end of the first phase?

Since it is private sale phase I don't think they will give any access to statistics but I will support your stance by saying at least figures of total raised money so far will encourage new investors at the same time. Minimum investment is 2 ETH now and many people want to make sure before jumping in.

We don't have a soft cap. There are no plans to approach it during private sale stage, which is currently running. We run private sale as we get prepared to run fully-fledged pre-ICO and ICO that will involve good marketing and PR. Also, private sale allows us to test the initial interest of tokenbuyers to our project, and so far we like it. It's a good idea to show the number of people who've already invested — our developers will implement this shortly. We may need to extend our private sale to have more time to enrich our software products with more features.

i have seen your project and looks interesting. You also have a bounty program or need a german translation from your ANN thread?

Thanks! Our bounty program is up & running. The German translation is reserved already.

Looks unique . Wish i can invest now .Team is great experienced and ratings are nice.What about exchanges where sponsy is going to be listed?

Thank you! Join us. At this moment we cannot  disclose such information.

The amount of total funds raised would be good to know, too. Only the number of people isn't too meaningful. And if you think it's better to extend the private sale, just go for it. Having an enriched product to show during the sale will certainly not hurt.

There are certain legal obstacles preventing us from freely disclosing the progress of our private sale.

Sponsy (http://www.cryptostills.com/publications/2018030601.html) is listed on CryptoStills (http://www.cryptostills.com/)

Coming in at a Bronze podium position

• Full project presentation
• Full media linking
• Continuous Twitter news updates
• Moderated discussions

It's actually the first time I hear a team saying that. Most of the time they say it's for strategic reasons, but legal obstacles haven't been on the list of excuses so far. Without disclosing numbers, would you mind mentioning those certain legal obstacles?

A new project with an innovative idea by its dev team, with a single platform for all sponsors like freelance exchangers
The innovation of the sponsy team allows us to define good sponsors if we create an event. So that we can minimize operational costs
very interesting hopefully many investors who are interested in join and successful project.

That's great, the bounty campaign will help bring the project to more people

They are way too specific to be talked about. Just believe us that running private sale in a private way would benefit both Sponsy executives and Sponsy tokenholders.

Do whatever you want. If you really think that disclosing the numbers of how the sale is going is too specific, then that's what you think. I don't care.

In the Telegram there are no news, at a forum of any discussions isn't conducted... The project is interesting, the team should take care of advertizing.
https://twitter.com/sponsyApp/status/977103970429755393

We are working hard on it. Getting prepared for a successful tokensale takes time and energy - especially on today's overcrowded market with tons of futile ICOs.

I think you need to be more active, on every media. Good luck!

Is the private sale extended? Any info about that?

This is a very interesting concept - the market for cryptos which support NGOs is really budding, and one can see why - the convenience of gving donations through digital currency is obvious. Good luck on this one!

Private sale will continue until the end of April. We want to make sure the product we are building will be of an outstanding quality.

This token will be utility token inside the ecosystem of sponsy that makes sense in order to understand where the future value of SPS tokens will come. My question for now is private sale will last whole month of April do you have a fixed number of tokens to offer in this phase or regardless of the results it will just continue during next month ?

Yes. Moreover, tokenization approach described in details in our updated WP and One-Pager allows businesses to raise sponsorship capital by tokenizing their sponsorship assets - even future ones!

At this moment, we are not limiting amount of tokens offered during the private sale phase. Tokens sold are being deducted from the total pool of tokens intended for sale.

Hello there. When will the info on the bonuses for the ICO will be announced?

Hi! SPONS tokens' prices are already determined and can be found on our website. Please refer to the Tokensale section. There is a SPONS prices graph with comparison of SPONS prices during various tokensale periods.

The quality of website should definitely reflect the quality of the product.

We are making good progress with the new platform! The basis should be ready in a couple of days ;D ;D

I aprriciate this project, deserve to invest

Not really sure what you are talking about, since you are not the member of our team.

Hey, DEV, say me on what platform will project work? On your own blockchain or on one of the already existing.

Hi, yes, sure! We have a whitelist, you are recommended to join it in order to secure your participation in main sale. Enter your email on our website, and you will automatically be redirected to a page with a few whitelist-related questions.

Sponsy platform will operate on top of Ethereum network. However, with transactions number growing higher and higher, we expect to deploy our own blockchain, and transfer Sponsy operations to it.

This project is nice because it is very detailed and informative. It has a lot of informations for the readers to read. I'm hoping for the success of this project.

This seem a little quiet. No update from the team? and why are the dates of pre-sale always extended?

The idea is good. 8)
Could be huge if you become the go-to platform for sponsorships if they manage to pierce the SMB markets.
Best of luck to the team.

I was checking on the website of this project, Found that the project really interesting.
It will give a sponsorship for anything that need them.
Hopefully there will be an easy rules to get the sponsorship.

no any new updates announcements did project end????

We are working directly with crypto funds to ensure liquidity of our token and efficiency of the token sale. That is why the preparations are taking some time.

Please stay patient. The final platform won't disappoint you.

A very new blockchain or do you already have a plan which one you are going to fork?

The core idea behind Sponsy has been a democratization of the industry of sponsorships. Small businesses, which need funding the most, are restricted in sponsorship opportunities, even despite being able to provide enticing and performing assets to sponsors.

Our goal is to eliminate uncertainty on the market.

We plan to deploy our own blockchain because that would allow for greater flexibility.

No! We have been fully immersed in development work.

Please follow our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/sponsy/) to stay up to date!

So, where can i find any selling progress of SPONSY coin? I was checking on the site but still can't find any selling progression.
Can anyone point me to the info about it?

We are not selling SPONS tokens at the moment, but you are recommended to whitelist your participation since a majority of tokens has already been booked.

GET WHITELISTED (https://www.sponsy.org/getWhitelisted.html)

I came today on project my view-an interesting and ensured project. Own blockchain is a significant plus. I will gladly take part in the project and bounty.

Maybe it would be a good decision to wait if Ethereum can solve scaling problems. Being on their network also means a lot more network effects. Do you agree?

Absolutely. Ethereum is a great product with a high-end team with a proven track record. Luckily, our core product, which is a Sponsy Platform facilitating sponsorship deals conclusion, does not constitute a high-transactional business. This means we do not have any urgent necessity to operate on a highly scalable blockchain from the day 1. Even though we plan to start offering ticketing solutions to our clients in the future, we will have plenty of time to make a correct decision.

When the need arises Sponsy (https://www.sponsy.org/) could always choose migrate to the 1M+ TPS CREDITS (https://credits.com/) blockchain.

Is the bounty still alive sir?   Thanks!

We will definitely consider this option.

Absolutely! Do not hesitate to continue participating in bounty - all the stakes will be calculated within 10 days period. We've been focused on developing a new version of our MVP, hence the bounty calculations delays.

Happy to read about that. For orientation and team support on smart contract building on CREDITS I recommend this link: https://credits.com/en/Home/Smart

Success with your Sponsy project, for which I by the way delivered a couple of Dutch translations. So nothing but good wishes. :)

that's good and gives you some room to make the right decision as you said. If Ethereum solves the scalability problems it would be even better. Not only for you, but for any dApp running on Ethereum.

Hi  This should be named as the best ICO to invest for 2018. Sell all your coins and make a loan to have your full investment on this thing. P.S. The team and testimonials are solid. 100% legit real people

I think that there are many people who have an excellent plan and need sponsors.
A superior project that will not appear in the world yet will appear in this project.
First of all, what projects are you planning to focus on?

I see this project is still relatively new and I still want to see future project developments hopefully increase confidence for many people to support this project in order to achieve success.

Is there a clear, concise, and well written road map available for investors? What milestones do you have in place? How will you inform investors when milestones are achieved? Will your team be conducting any online events, such as webinars, Q&As, or AMA on Reddit?

Absolutely! Sponsorship is a great industry, and with billions of dollars sitting idly on the bank accounts of sponsors having no idea how to spend them correctly, we are all set to present a transparent solution.

We are focusing on various events, both crypto and traditional, and enabling them to sell their sponsorship property to sponsors.

We are open to individual discussions with potential investors and token buyers. Kindly contact us at info@sponsy.org, and we'll be in touch really soon. The approximate roadmap that we have is available at the official website of Sponsy. We invite you to contact us in order to learn more.

Full guide to Sponsy sponsorship platform
We are proud to announce that the new version of our sponsorship platform is now released and available online. Every business from all over the world, be it a small local event or a huge international brand, is free to sign up, list his/her business and start collaborating. https://medium.com/sponsy/full-guide-to-sponsy-sponsorship-platform-fb4cf82b42ba

the team in this project is always trying their best for this project, I am sure that the team's activeness in developing this project will certainly run smoothly and be able to achieve what is expected.

Hello! Can Russian companies use the platform? If "YES", it is important whether the amount of the authorized capital of the company?

Hi! Russian companies are free to list their businesses just like any other company. Unfortunately, your question about authorized capital is not quite clear.

Thank you for the clarification! I realized that any company can register on your site. And its installation capital does not matter. I wish you success in the promotion of the project!

I have just seen a sponsorship platform with decentralization based on what has been done traditionally ... hopefully SPONSY can be a pioneer to realize the platform and certainly provide benefits to anyone who joins this project.

"First Failed ICO On Ebay For Sale"

This failed ICO made headlines for being the first known failed project to end up on sale on Ebay.  [1,2]

Sponsy is a failed ICO that attempted to launch in the summer of 2018, according to the Financial Times. The proprietor of the crypto project currently has it listed on eBay for a price of $60,000 and says the firm’s biggest mistake was building a product first. Sponsy was intended to be a decentralized sponsorship platform, but the proprietor also openly says that the decentralized aspect isn’t critical. [3]

Ivan Komar, the founder of the Sponsy said:

"We hired a lawyer and that was a big mistake for us. Because our lawyer basically told us that we should not launch any ICO before we built a real product that might have some users. And I asked him why, because I saw so many ICOs out there who did not have any idea for any product, yet they managed to raise tens of millions of dollars." [4]

Courtesy of a bounty campaign from BountyHub.io [5], the project claims to have a “solid social presence,” with over 10,000 likes on Facebook and 8,000 subscribers on Twitter. However, the Twitter page has only been updated twice a month since the company announced its forthcoming token sale last December, and the posts have around ten likes on average. Sponsy has a similar presence on Facebook, with posts randomly commented on by several seemingly bot-like users. [6]
