[pre-ANN] Rock Ventures Dubai - FULL ESCROW PRE-SALE ON NOW until 12th Oct!!!!!

[Angelam2018]

I browsed all stuff which is available on your website but nothing mentioned about the team members profile can you explain who are developing this platform. Any escrow for security of investors with current model of investment it looking very risky you have any plan to provide this?

Our team's background previously was within start up expansion and venture capital so over the last few months we have been expanding our team both in Dubai and internationally, and working to ensure that we have the right breadth of knowledge in the financial applications of blockchain, regtech and platform and token development

More of that information will all be contained in the white paper - which will be available within the next few days and posted on the website.  We are using escrow for all the pre sale and pre ICO investments yes and working with an experienced escrow agent for that.

Also the reason for the pre sale was not just for the raise of initial early stage investment, it was also to involve the expertise of the community in the areas of development and marketing as in the first post, so as this information is coming quite early, it's more about getting some early adopters on board.  But I just want to put people's minds at rest that definitely more information is coming shortly and I hope it's a project of real benefit and interest to the next wave of blockchain startups and investors

dubai is one of the most interesting destinations in the world, I'm very interested in your mission, it's promising, but it needs more information from this project, like roadmap, team, and more information about ICO
Good luck

platform is not good and attract attention because I see this is a project that could be and very risky I will follow ico from this project

[the_hodler]

Well, thanks for the clarification.

I will wait for the white paper

it's a very good idea to make dubai a technological innovation project of software advancement, seeing that dubai is rapidly expanding, it will brighten the development of cryptocurrency extending to the Middle East, which is one of the most difficult areas to reach, I hope this project goes well.

Thank you very much!  Yes I've been based in the Middle East region for over 2 years now working with start up companies to help them expand here, and the recent advancements in Dubai and the plans that they have for the future are certainly more advanced than anything going on in the UK and the US markets at present.  It also has the benefit of having a extremely dynamic and forward thinking leader and when it comes to eventual regulation and adoption I think that will make all the difference.  In the next few years I see Dubai being cited alongside Switzerland and Singapore as the most crypto friendly hubs to do business.  And we're just really excited to be a part of that

[Angelam2018]

Well, thanks for the clarification.

No problem at all - and I understand the concern behind the question.  It's a very common thing just now for ideas and projects that have no need for blockchain to be rushing towards blockchain tech just so they can hold an ICO.  that's definitely something we are aware of and want to avoid in all of the projects that we will be working with.

But I really appreciate your input as it helps us become better at defining the concept every time that we explain it in a different context

[Xandan]

At large it looks very interesting concept from whatever I have read already. We are in weekend so would be waiting for white paper's appearance to be able to study in little bit as there are 2 weeks to catch the attractive bonus offer which will last till the last day of this month.

Hello everyone,


If any of you want to become an early stage investor by investing some money into this project before the 30th September. You can contact me directly since i will be the escrow for it. I will also escrow the pre-sale and depending of the design of the ICO, i may end up escrowing that too (More clarification will be posted later anyway)

Angela will quote this post and confirm it later on (since it's already 1h30 here in Dubai which is a bit early  ).

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

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

[Angelam2018]

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

[Angelam2018]

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!

[Angelam2018]

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.

[Angelam2018]

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
