Soft cap is 25 000 ETH.

thanks for the answer! I really like when dev is actively involved in discussions with community and all questions have answers

[Sozialtourist]

which region is targeting initially? is there any alpha version available?

The first country is Russia.  

CarFix already functions in Russia.

CarFix, the issuer of VLB Tokens, is a transaction platform that is reshaping one of the largest consumer industries in the world – auto sale, repair & maintenance. CarFix, just after 18 months since creation, has already brought a significant degree of order and transparency into the industry. CarFix has developed and implemented software that establishes algorithm based final fixed prices for all key repair and maintenance works.
CarFix has support of institutional investors. We have raised EUR5m from Mail.ru Group, Kima Ventures, Solway Group, Similie Ventures and Foresight Capital. Our core team consists of 50+ employees.

After your start in Russia, do you already have a plan when and where to expand your service next?

this project has interesting concept, I'll go read white paper and I will subscribe to updates in this thread! I wish good luck for the developers!

I think the same, is the first project I see about the automotive industry and I really love it. But I need to read the white paper first to know about it.

The thing is, now most of us look at cars as necessary and with that there comes a lot of maintenance costs. You would be surprised how much money we spend annually for that and i am not surprised there is a huge niche out there where a project could be build on.

Just watched the introduction video, very good, though challenging project. Need to read the whitepaper for more details  
Great that you have already some solid partnerships.

The next country is the USA. We are planning a full operational deployment in the US in June 2018.  In June 2017, we commenced expansion into the US market: found local partner, mapped Los Angeles and South Florida based ecosystems of repair shops, spare parts distributors, insurance providers and auto dealers that a dealers that are required for a successful deployment of CarFix platform.

So at a first glimpse you are trying to blockchain the whole car industry
That's a very cool ideology. I do need to read the Whitepaper to learn more about how you are planing to do this. But cool nevertheless!!

Nice to see a project in the car industry. Your team looks pretty solid so far.
In your partnershits you stated Volkswagen as one of our partners. Is there any proof of this I could see?
Recently there are a lot of projects throwing around with partnerships but often no real partnerships at all.

Well I just had some time to watch the video and what I can deduct from that is, changing the fuel will not make a change to their blockchain solution.

Unfortunately we do not have a video in English about the platform CarFix.

CarFix is a platform that have been deployed in Moscow and St. Petersburg 1.5 years ago. The platform connected car services, parts distributors, dealers, now in the active phase insurance companies and banks.

After only 18 months since its launch, CarFix has brought a significant degree of order and transparency into the vehicle lifecycle industry, an industry closely associated with fraud and incoherency. By implementing a software that establishes fixed prices for all vehicle repairs, the CarFix ecosystem currently encompasses over 500 repair shops, 10 of the largest spare parts distributors, major dealerships, and over 250,000 users of which 50,000 are regular paying customers.  This ecosystem is continuously growing, and will be further empowered by the Blockchain’s core premises of decentralization and immutability of records.

This is the kind of project that will breathe life back into the ICO scene. We recently shifted from world changing, problem solving, blockchain solutions, into a money grab.
Thank you for adding some substance back into this forum. There are only a handful of projects I am watching closely. VLB is now one of them.

[iad_xo]

is there any partnership or deal with manufacture or company to pilot this?

So many ico planning to bring blockchain for a real life solutions, but only few of them are having a real idea and implement it to the real world. CarFix is a running well company that offered platform to make everything about car  lifecycle easy. I can't imagine how the platform will booming when it hits the Asian markets.
