Vettting ICO idea

[pearlbendICO]

Hi forum,

We have an idea for an ICO and would love to get some market feedback before moving forward.  Does anyone have suggestions on the best place to start this type of conversation?  Thanks in advance!

What are your objections to discuss your plans right in here? Afraid someone will take your idea and run with it? Ideas are worthless. What matters is the execution.

Hi John,

We are happy to discuss the idea but didn't know if this was the best forum to do so.  

We would like to create a virtual and physical ecosystem for startups to work, build, and trade centered around blockchain tech.

The Physical

We have partial interests in various buildings that we'd like to use as our flagship location to start.  The flagship will build out ~40 apartments that will allow the location to sustain itself year to year.  The benefit to startups and the ecosystem is the additional ~20,000 ft that we can offer as very inexpensive space designed specifically as a blockchain developer mecca.

Depending on success of the raise, we'd expand into other locations per the majority of the crowd.  Startups in the ecosystem would be able to work at these locations and use the token as a means of exchange not only within our physical centers but with other consumers.

The Virtual
The virtual framework is a startup transaction and document/contract management design.  It is based on the processes and documents that our partner attorney has been crafting for the last 20 years and our software workflow.  The platform would allow entrepreneurs to launch the creation of and track their foundation documents, create smart contracts with subcontractors, employees, investors, etc. Additionally, we would extend the framework and dashboard so startups could choose to embed and transact with customers within their technology via an API.

Our vision for the framework is two fold:
1) provide any stage startup the ability to track, monitor, and create all of the contracts and forms needed during the lifecycle of a startup, and
2) allow early stage companies to embed our token framework as a way to implement crypto transactions with customers.

Of course, startups could opt to use the platform without being located at any of the physical locations.  However, we think it creates an interesting concept to place physical locations around the globe to provide an IRL aspect to blockchain.

Again, if this is the wrong forum for this, we apologize and are happy to discuss elsewhere.  Feedback appreciated.

Respectfully disagree.
Afraid someone will take your idea and run with it?
Many ideas are good enough, and original, that they cannot be released in full without some protection or momentum. This can be very difficult for original thinkers with a low start-up budget.
Ideas are worthless.
Information is "worthless", in the right hands original ideas are the private keys to wealth.
What matters is the execution.
Finally we can agree, but the need for a competent road map, does not help if a well funded and prepared operation steals your most valuable ideas.

Business incubators with some original features added?
My feedback to you is almost 100% positive. Make a good presentation and you can get plenty of funding, especially if you are associated with trusted real estate industry people.

ps. You are "stealing" some ideas I have been working on for way too long!
