Hi - I don't think I'm explaining this clearly ha ha sorry!

We, as a company, help other companies find investment for their projects from the Middle East region.  we are just about to embark on a 6 week trip of investor outreach for blockchain companies, meeting with funds, attending conferences and speaking at events in the Middle East, Far East and Australia regions.  How we work is we showcase the type of investment opportunities that are available to investors in these regions and we work with them to raise significant amounts of money for pre sale and pre ICO's

This type of outreach campaign is different from the online bounties as we are raising finance by face to face meetings and using our existing network of contacts, developed over the last two years of working within the Middle East, and also contacting other investors through our partner networks in the region.

There is a cost involved to the companies that want to be part of it but only to cover our costs of delivering the programme, and certainly less than what it would be if the companies were to undertake such a programme themselves.

We want to work with good international projects and highlight them to the investors in our region who are now interested in this space

Does that help clarify?

Cheers

Angela

No - although we are raising money for our project separately.  But this post is about offering some established companies who are currently undertaking ICO's the chance to have their ICO and investment offering advertised and marketed to investment networks in the Middle East and Far East.

As we embark on a 6 week tour of investment sourcing in that region we thought it would be a good idea to also be able to offer the investors and contacts that we meet a range of investment opportunities, thereby giving some ICO's the chance to get in front of some international markets they may never have considered and allowing us to be able to showcase the types of international projects that we are dealing with,

hope that helps - happy to provide any further info for clarification,

Cheers

Angela

As we are currently building our own crypto based Venture Fund in Dubai, we are about to go on the road throughout the Middle East, Far East and Australia meeting with investors, VC's, high net worth individuals and presenting and attending key blockchain and tech conferences.

In order to showcase the type of companies that we will be investing in and bringing to Dubai we would like to be able to provide these investors with direct access to a strong portfolio of international companies.  I therefore thought it would be a good idea to open this opportunity up to 5 international companies that are currently raising the pre sale or early stage investment for their ICO, and currently don't have the resources to explore the Middle East and Far East markets.

We have developed an intensive 6 week marketing programme which relies more on face to face interaction, high level meetings and investor relations and comes with a money back guarantee if we don't raise at least $1million for your project through these channels.

For more details please contact me directly - the programme begins on the 5th November with our first meetings with investors and finishes on the 16th December - encompassing 6 international conferences in 6 separate regions, and over 10 individual countries visited.

Anyone who has worked in the Middle East and the Far East will know the importance of one to one interaction and relationship development with investors, so we thought that by taking the hassle out of this experience and utilizing our already vast network, we could help you extend the reach and investment raise of your project

Contact us for more details - special discount for anyone that signs up by the end of this week, and full details of the project can be provided on request. 

Great news this week in the UAE - Abu Dhabi has announced that it will be bringing in guidance to encourage businesses and projects to raise ICO's in a responsible way.  It's a huge step and along with Dubai's commitment to be the first fully blockchain City - this could prove to be a ground breaking few years in the Middle East for the development of these types of projects.

I was in your exact same position just under a year ago!  Loads of great content on youtube, lots of googling, some fintech conferences and a whole heap of caffeine later and I'm absolutely hooked.

this site is fantastic for info and for interacting with people from the community, and get yourself used to the slack, twitter and telegram channels as the more you get to know about the space the more crypto companies you will be wanting to follow and interact with.

Best of luck with the learning - I'm almost jealous as I remember how exciting it was to have this insane new way of thinking just opened up before me!

Just make sure you remember to sleep ha ha

Morning all!

Reminder that there is only 4 days left to secure your best pre sale discount on an investment in Rock Ventures Dubai - contact us directly for any further information, and the white paper is being updated regularly as we expand our team

Great news!  We have secured our first few pre sale investors for the project - all of them coming in at a pretty impressive 40% discount!

Although the pre sale discount has now dropped to 35% there are plenty of investment opportunities still available.  Please contact us before Thursday to submit your interest, and help us build an innovative and game changing venture fund in Dubai.

We also have a few selected and exclusive international blockchain companies that we are working with to bring over and incubate in the Dubai region, so for further details on this please email me angela@rockexpansion.me

That's exactly what it is - although there are some ways to mitigate the risk for the very early pre sale.  We are using an escrow service and contracts so that if the pre sale doesn't raise the required funds then everything will be returned via the escrow service.  Still risky but there are a few things that projects can do to try and de-risk the opportunities

We are also going to be issuing both a pre ICO updated White Paper along with the recommended ICO Governance Form IGF-1 for maximum transparency on the project and to ensure that we are running things in line with any potential upcoming regulatory changes.

We also have great relationships in Dubai with the Government departments associated with the implementation of blockchain and are keeping them involved in the entire set up process - again just to ensure that we are staying on the right side of any potential regulatory changes.

Just a reminder that our initial pre sale is coming to an end on the 12th October - so you only have a few days left to lock in the biggest discounts!

I'm going to be updating this thread with a Q&A session soon but first I thought I would answer "why a presale"

4 years ago I set up my own business in the UK which was a specialist international corporate relocation provider.  We expanded in to the Middle East two years ago and from there found our niche - working with small and start up tech companies and helping them expand in to the region.  While being based in Kuwait we were dealing with most of the GCC countries, but as of early this year it became apparent that Dubai was going to provide the best opportunities for the companies that we were working with.  So we came over to Dubai in July and started the process for setting up a company.  What I found though was that if we were simply to set up a consulting company we would still face the problem of having to find investment for these startups.  Over the last few months from July until now we have instead been working on setting up a venture fund for the region which will provide early stage financial support for these companies.  At the moment our team is all business and venture related but we work closely with external development teams that are on standby to create our token and help us get the necessary development done for the ICO raise.  The pre sale will give us funds to be able to engage this team, finalize our company registration as a venture fund instead of a consulting firm, expand our own team and improve our marketing budget to ensure a successful ICO.  Throughout the pre ICO and ICO process we will then have a staged handover from the external tech team to our own internal development team

The pre sale has the biggest discount because it has the most risk but we wanted to mitigate that risk as much as possible.  So we have full escrow on the pre sale, as detailed above, we will also provide contracts both for the escrow amount and for the equity investment in the company, and we will be setting aside 5% equity for our early stage investors to share.  We are looking for investors at this stage that we can work with to build a successful company, and that's why I made the decision to connect with the community so early in the process and use your feedback and input to help grow a more relevant and influential business


hope that helps answer the question to why we are currently using a pre sale, and for anyone who would like further information please just contact me directly - Thanks!

Pre Sale on now!  Building towards an ICO date of the 31st October, website and platform development well underway and press and media being released this week.

Please check out our White Paper for more information on who we are and what we are aiming to achieve -

And contact us for further information, and full escrow details as outlined above

If you've been on the forum for more than a year I wouldn't personally class you as a beginner - but I know what you mean it's a thin line between wanting to be involved and increase your rank and not wanting to provide useless information or spam anyone

Best of luck with it!

Ha ha here's hoping!

Just a reminder of confirmation for the escrow details for our pre sale - further updates available soon but you can check out our pre Sale white paper now

Hi - I just wanted to alert you to the update of our introductory presale White Paper as previously requested,

https://docs.google.com/document/d/128rw1EMzSLImCPxC-EaM11hoWqYfNcrEJp5jdKaMiMU

Look forward to hearing your thoughts,

Angela

Hi - thanks very much for your post!  Due to the delay of the issue of our introductory White Paper, we have also extended our pre sale.  This will also give us enough time to complete our token and platform development in line for the upcoming ICO.

I've amended our first post but here is a link to the White Paper for you, and please note it is a living document and we will be updating it with any new information and further details over the next three weeks.  But I hope it at least serves to outline our project, our team's capabilities, and our roadmap

https://docs.google.com/document/d/128rw1EMzSLImCPxC-EaM11hoWqYfNcrEJp5jdKaMiMU

Thanks,

Angela

You know I was just thinking the other day that exactly what this needs is another acronym 

I think it could catch on though!

Hi all

sorry for the delay and thanks for waiting patiently!  We have now posted our White Paper in our introductory message, here is the link also -

https://docs.google.com/document/d/128rw1EMzSLImCPxC-EaM11hoWqYfNcrEJp5jdKaMiMU

Please note that at the moment we are offering a pre sale so this is a raise of early stage investment in order to allow us to continue to fully develop the token and platform for our upcoming token raise.  Over the next few weeks we welcome the feedback and input from the community on this, but have used the White Paper to outline our plans for the development of the venture fund and the impact we hope this will have on the community.

We are currently expanding our team and using this time over the next few weeks to connect more with communities such as this.

Due to our delay in the white paper we will also be extending the pre sale for two weeks, so you now have until Thursday 12th October to retain the largest discounts

Also as per the comment above please note that we have a full escrow service for this early pre sale so please contact Seccour from the post above for further details on this

Thanks,

Angela
