I know this definitely counts as self promotion however if you want to follow an ICO focused on business adoption of crypto - I think many of you would enjoy following our project, the Crypto Improvement Fund.
We are not focused on creating complex Dapps, we are focused on integrating cryptocurrency as whole with business clients - a benefit for the entire community. We're expanding our team and project so hopefully you'll take a look at our site and help join our ICO!

Release - 16/10/2017We are excited to announce that we are building out our Board of Directors with tenured individuals who are focused on not only holding a successful ICO, but securing Series A funding from traditional VC's for equity or convertible debt. We have entertained the idea of going public (IPO) in the next fiscal year as we are currently working with legislators to ensure that we are fully compliant with corporate legislation governing public companies in Ontario, Canada.
We will be raising 10M USD through traditional VC investments outside of the ICO. In an effort to document our business strategy in further detail - we have forecasted future financials and formulated a more precise business plan, which will be discussed in depth in future posts and announcements (see attached, below).
We have made three key hires to our team to accomplish the aforementioned objectives and released an updated business strategy - geared towards a non crypto audience (traditional venture capitalist investment).
