New Tokenized Funding Models at BlockchainWeekend NYC
Starta Ventures has a track record as an innovative tech venture capital fund. They nurture and introduce European companies to the American and global markets through its Starta Accelerator program. Based in New York City, each year Starta hosts accelerator programs, offering tech startups guidance in finance, customer acquisition, marketing, pitching and exposure to their extensive investor network.
In July 2017, Starta Ventures played a revolutionary role in venture funding by becoming one of the first VC firms to successfully incorporate public funding and blockchain technologies, with its ICO Cross Coin. The premise behind the coin is “to democratize venture investments and become a bridge between crypto and fiat economies”
When Cross Coin launched, Starta Accelerator raised $5 million in cryptocurrency within 24 hours of being on the market. allowing the company to surpass its goal of investing in 70 startups. Additionally in 2018 Starta Capital Fund II was launched specifically to allow investments in blockchain startups with smart contract security tokens.
Taking on this hybrid mode of funding has democratized the venture capital market, allowing early investors to participate in the pre-ICO stage while also opening the doors for the general public to invest early in blockchain startups.
Within the past 3 years Starta Ventures has provided funding to over 100 companies specializing in artificial intelligence, cyber security, real estate, health care, and blockchain technologies among others including Cindicator, Hyperverse, and Incense.
