That is the Andra Capita. Also see adnracapital.com. Whether we decide to go with a DeFi structure or something more like Andra, one appeal to owners would be the ability to enter and exit via coin without having to wait the traditional length of time required for most VC funds.

And while it might only be possible to offer it to accredited investors, ideally it would be available to anyone. I like the idea of providing access to this type of investment to people who are not already wealthy. However, we would also have concerns about unsophisticated investors placing "bets" on investments they don't understand or risking too much on such investments.

thank you for all of the encouraging words about our project. Now I am certain I am on the right path. Just kidding.

I get that there have been a number of scams and many poor attempts with DeFi. I don't know if my idea is unique enough. We intend to have true decentralized decision making in terms of which companies in the sector to fund. However, the current intent is to have curators select which companies would be voted on.

This is really to prevent owners from being scammed. Without this, one problem could be a big pocket owner promoting scam companies for investment and then draining the funds once they are committed to the scam companies.

Instead of DeFi we could also simply create a fund like Andra Capital to invest in the sector. I like the idea of tapping the wisdom of the crowd in making the investments - particularly if we get a lot of participants from the sector.

I do have a strong background in the industry in question. We are in the process of putting the team together for some parts of the project. However, I am new to the crypto space.

While I am pretty new to the crypto space. However I have experience in a specific technology sector and I am interested in possibly starting a DeFi project to invest in the sector. The coins would be initially promoted to others in the sector to hopefully start with a base of owners with experience in the sector.

I know that ICOs are generally considered securities by the SEC. However, can companies use crowdfunding to fund a project and get to an ICO if one of the rewards of the initial crowdfunding is coin? If this is allowed, what are some of the best platforms for raising funds for such a project?
