Verdict
Below is a breakdown of the risks and growth potential of Orvium.
Risks
Many advisors do not have Orvium listed on their Linkedin profiles. (-0.5)
Orvium 1.0 is expected to be released in Q1 2020. (-1.5)
Although radical changes are required in the sector, it is not evident why another centralized entity with a different working mechanism cannot solve these problems without appealing to a blockchain. (-2.5)
Growth Potential
The project has the first-mover advantage. (+3)
It aims to disrupt the academic publishing sector which evidently has many problems. (+3)
Low pre-sale bonus. (+1)
Disposition
Orvium is a platform aiming to change the academic publishing sector. It has many academic advisors, which can create a network effect and help adoption. But the success of the platform purely depends on adoption, which is not academics’ most known trait.
Orvium receives a 2.5/10.
