Well, there are no ICO marketplace apps that I know of or have even heard of in development.
There are ICO listing sites where you can also participate such as:
China:
icoage.com
ico.team
beico
US
Coinlist.com
The Chinese ones are having a *few problems at the moment and Coinlist is I'm sure still working on ironing out the kinks before they go live.
Our services diverge in a number of ways. (their systems are very manual, ours are automated and scalable, they aren't crowd vetted, no credit card, etc)
We don't think of them as a competitor and we are actively working to get them to list ICOs that they manage on our platform.
There's also:
Starbase,
Waves,
Comsa
etc,
They help teams create an ICO. Again, we are working to partner with them so that the ICO's created on their platforms will automatically be listed on ZILLA.
Indirect competitors are your industry
Venture Capital.
ICOs have already eclipsed seed/angel round VC funding. What will happen when they are ready for an A round in 18 moths? I suspect they will be able to tap into their reserve of tokens. This coupled with the explosive growth of ICOs will potentially decimate allow ICOs to eclipse early-round VC funding (I give it 12 months actually).
What will have to happen?
VCs use ICOs to raise funds
VCs use ICOs to help mid stage portfolio companies to do reverse ICOs
VCs invest in ICOs
VCs present another value add by advising ICOs.
#3, and 4 are already happening.
ZILLA can help with 1, 2, and 3.
We are looking for a VC that would be a good fit to advise us and explore how ZILLA can provide services to help VC /Hedge funds get better returns in the ICO space. Remember, we have engagement and sentiment data on ICO projects, which may be enough to predict their outcomes. That's worth something..
Love the questions. Keep em coming.
Can you tell me the top 5 direct as well as 5 indirect competitors?
