[ANN][ICO] ICO HeadStart - THE SAFEST ICO FUNDRAISING PLATFORM - HardRock Hotels

[Namecom]

good concept but in your whitepaper, there is a section called seal of approval:
"The ICO HeadStart Seal of Approval shows that the criteria we think
are necessary to find the most promising ICOs, have been met.
Once a project gets approved by our community and is listed on
the platform, the members of the community have access to the
Scorecard Analysis."

how are we going to know you are not promoting an ICO just because they are paying to rise onto the top of list?

We have created a unique fundraising platform where backers and creators pay 0% fees without any additional costs. The backend of our Seal of Approval is made from an independent compliance company who provide services for our platform and 2 advisory Blockchain software companies. Also, till the time when our platform starts with its operation, we will include up to 3 more international companies that rate blockchain projects and their ICOs.

Our platform has no benefits to host a pre-ICO and ICO of some project, which does not have a value in the future, as our whole concept depends of the success of projects funded through our platform and their tokens/coins on the market from which we can realize a profit with our trading department.
 
In total, 80% of our profits will be used to buy back MOAT from token holders and 20% will be used to give a head start to newly listed projects which are deemed promising.

Thank you that you answer all these questions here. That makes much clear all your concept. Agree with you that the very idea of you project is that you are interested in successful ICOs, moreover you will make a voice to common users. But how can we be sure in competence of your team that credit Seal of Approval? Will they always be the same people or will they change?

Mother of all tokens sounds ambitious
But seriously, guys what you are going to make will probably be game-changing! I hope HeadStart will enhance the trust towards ICOs and governments won't be in a mess either to crack on icos or to give them greenlight. Let be HeadStart a father of all ICOs

When we started this project, we understood that one major aspect will contribute positively to the success of the platform. We had to connect the old with the new economy to be able to establish the safest ICO fundraising platform. In order to create the best of both, we brought financial experts and technical youth together. We have employed a Compliance Department with corporate banking experience that screened up to 10.000 business plans and projects per week. Our Compliance team will, according to our vision and mission, only expand, also on a local level country by country.

An average backing in ICOs till today was $275 per person. About 90% of those people for this amount was not ready to spend an x amount of time to do a due-diligence on one projects before investments. We curate the most promising ICOs which are thoroughly screened, selected and certified with our Seal of Approval. We have basically provided a tool for traders and investors, obviating the need to do time-consuming due diligence because of our unparalleled ecosystem that allows us to provide our community with 100% profit sharing.

MOAT head-start is a great way of ensuring a prosperous start for your fundraising platform!

And the seal of approval is only the first step of the "ICO's filtering", after that it is the community that will decide which ICO's will make it to the "final's" giving their vote depending of the MOAT each "curator"/member has aka. VOTING POWER

reference from the whitepaper page 14:

"Our community is the vital part of our platform. Once
the compliance department has finalized the screening
process of the ICOs in question, the approval falls in
the hands of our community members. The community
has decisive power to determine whether an ICO will be
selected. The platform creates the capital and the execution
structure and it democratizes that access to everyone."

This Looks very similar to DropDeck, but with a focus on ICO's. Is that summation correct?

what will happen if soft cap is not reached?

I wonder this too. In the WP, it says that the  hard  cap  goal  for  the  pre-ICO  phase  is  180.000  ETH  or a 
maximum period of 30 days. Worth asking in their official sns channels about what happens if the hard cap is not reached. My guess would be it gets burnt.

Hard Cap for Pre-ICO is 33.500 ETH
Hard Cap for ICO is 180.000 ETH

All tokens which are not sold in the pre-ICO and ICO phase, will be transferred to the post-ICO reserve. As our token is utility token and it is usable in post-ICO phase.

Do I understand correctly that the utility token applies that it can be only used within the HeadStart network (unless converted on the exchanges to another crypto or fiat money)? If so, what services exactly are to be available for HeadStart users?
Also, after the unused tokens are transferred to the post-ICO reserve, will it be possible to users to get gold of them? Are there going to be more sale actions, or are they meant for different purposes?

I must say I'm pleasantly surprised with the quality support and positive feedback I have been seeing from the HeadStart's developers' side, good job, guys.

Any bounty program?

[yourboss]

Judging by the overwhelming popularity of ICOs nowadays your project is what the market needs  And it is crucial for success to be in the right place and in the right time. I really want more and more people support your idea

[Karl_Marx]

Where is the blockchain innovation in this project? It's just an advisory platform  the potential for growth is extremely limited compared to real cryptoproject like EOS, LISK, IOTA or ETH. But I assume everyone understands that...

The ICO hard caps are rediculous. Get real man and get some decent graphic designer. This OP looks like it's made in MS paint.

One easy and apparent is this one:

Not having the same potential like EOS, ETH etc. doesn't mean they don't have a niche and a place in cryptoworld. Actually the market needs a project like that. Not everybody is expert in crypto, and the next months that will be more apparent when mass adoption is realized... I bet project like that will save many new (and old) investors from scams that are everywhere around us lately and admittedly very difficult for newbies to get identified.

Post-ICO reserve is operational part of our platform. Unused MOAT will be transferred into the new smart contract (one of our 5 smart contracts in our operational period) who will constantly have flow of MOAT in and out from it. When ever new users or existing decide to fund some Project, they will transfer funds on our platform in that smart contract and they will receive MOAT. When ever our platform makes profit on trade of Project tokens X,Y,Z. We will use 80% of the profit made to buyback tokens on the exchanges from the token holders, regardlessly what the price of our token is on the market. Those MOAT token purchased by our platform will go back in that smart contract, and so on and on. Circulation of MOAT trough that smart contract will never stop.

[2020GD]

I'm sorry if I've missed that, but what platform is your ICO (currently pre-ICO) operating on? Is it Ethereum, Nem, Nxt or something else?

Also, for later approved ICOs, will there be any requirements as to the platform ICOs must use (maybe, you plan to develop your own platform?), or is it completely up to their choice?

Sorry for the bunch of questions. I am interested in your project, and would like to know more. Thank you.

Thank you for your answer. "When ever new users or existing decide to fund some Project, they will transfer funds on our platform in that smart contract and they will receive MOAT" - you mean, they pay crypto (will other than ETH be possible in the future, by the way?) and get MOAT for this amount of ETH they paid instead?

Hi guys,
please explain, what is an idea for ONLINE ICO UNIVERSITY? In what format will the idea be realized and what will it be like?

[beonline]

Hey I was researching what ico fundraising platform they're on the market these days, and came across the Forbes article about these guys, HeadStart fundraising platform.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/montymunford/2017/11/21/ico-headstart-is-a-fundraising-platform-that-measures-the-trust-or-scam-of-icos/#83c13c96d796

I was pretty happy to have stumbled upon this so randomly as I just recently learnt about this project, and it looks worthy.

This is how they explain the profit share model:

 In total, 80% of the profits made on the exchange and through contracts with the project creators on the its platform, will be used to buy back MOAT from token holders.
ICO Headstart plans to use the remaining 20% of MOAT tokens for newly listed projects on the platform, therefore giving them a head start in the funding process.

Yes, they pay in ETH or BTC and they get MOAT, as MOAT is a core of our ICOnomy.

1 days ago, we added BTC as well. So in our Pre-ICO you can participate also with BTC.

I'm new here. I liked the idea of the project. They're in their pre-ICO stage right now, is it right? I wonder what's the price of the token, how much will I get for investing the minimum, which is, from what I read, is 0,01 ETH. Also, what's the price and minimum purchase will be at actual ICO? Thank you for your attention
