Projects are showcased on the platform and participants use EQUItokens to acquire a stake in projects, and it can also be traded like any other cryptocurrency. Upon realization, returns are distributed to investors in the projects. Propositions under active consideration include the sectors of technology, biotech, and blockchain. The platform already has two exciting investment opportunities in the areas of Big Data and E-gaming.

Co-founder, Baroness Michelle Mone OBE, said:

I have been blown away by the interest we’ve already had from the crypto community. The $7 million we have raised is the tip of the iceberg, and it goes to show the desire and need for an innovative ICO backed by successful business people.

Doug Barrowman, founder of EQUI said:

Having followed, and been involved in crypto for longer than most, it’s fascinating and exciting to become part of the community, and to be able to use my experience and knowledge to give something back and grow this exciting technology.
