Our business discussion will cover the pros and cons of today’s two main investment options: venture capital and ICOs. Romans is the author of two books about venture capital, and is now writing his third book about ICOs and blockchain. Andrew is deeply informed about both sides of this world debate and can share his tips, processes, and pitfalls.

Blockchain technology represents a new step in the evolution of human beings. It is a distributed database that helps users fairly exchange their assets, remain fully protected under internet law,  and make honest deals without mediators. This is a huge opportunity for anyone who currently feels unsafe or unsure in their country.

There have been more than 1,500 ICOs as of March 2018. The total valuation of all cryptocurrency has reached $320 billion today. If you had invested $100 in Bitcoin in 2011, that Bitcoin would be worth over $2.5 million today.

Learn the advantages and disadvantages of both types of investment. How much capital do you need to launch an ICO successfully? Does it follow the traditional rounds of seed, Series A, and beyond?
