      "body": "**Long time no hear Well, it’s time to explain what we are now super-actively working on. This will be a new **[Rocket DAO](https://rocketdao.io/)** which you will absolutely love at first sight.**\n\n <center>![](https://blog.rocketdao.io/sites/default/files/RocketDAO-Development%20updates-3%401x%20%281%29.jpg)</center>\n\n## Rocket DAO 3.0 What is it about?\n\nWe pay much attention to conducting market research and to getting the most honest feedback from the market players. So eventually we came to a new concept, the one which would satisfy investors, experts, and startups for sure. **New Rocket DAO is a new communication platform and a marketplace for startups, investors and experts.**\n<center>![](https://blog.rocketdao.io/sites/default/files/inline/images/Marketplace-rocket-DAO%20%281%29.png)</center>\nAll users here are grouped in three roles depending on the activities and functionality they will perform on the platform:\n\n* Regular user\n* Investor\n* Expert\n \n\nEach role has its unique registration module which will not only let them join the platform and become its official members but will also introduce them all the necessary details about our new product (let's call this a caring welcome onboarding).\n<center>![](https://blog.rocketdao.io/sites/default/files/inline/images/3.%20And%20here%20we%20start.png)</center>\nConsequently, users having passed our registration may create three types of objects on the platform, these ones include:\n\n* Startup\n* VC Fund\n* Angel Network\n \n\nCreation of these objects supposes the collection of the significant amount of data letting us keep only verified and trustworthy agents on the platform. Such an approach will let users study their potential partners in the most effective way.\n\n \n\nThe final step of registration implies the creation of the public profile, or a personal card of the  Startup, Expert,  Individual Investor, VC Fund or Angel Network. These cards include information provided by users: some general overview, list of achievements, interests, goals, skills and many more specific characteristics you won’t find on any other platform.\n<center>![](https://blog.rocketdao.io/sites/default/files/inline/images/Multy-rocket-DAO%20%281%29.jpg)</center>\nSo all registered users may study startups, funds, angel networks in every detail (well, to the extent they are interested in) which are open for collaboration and cooperation. They can find the fullest information about investors and experts, check whether interests, experience or even investing history of these members fit their owns expectations and request to contact them if necessary.\n\n\nAll profiles may be commented on (but again, by registered users only), this way you will be able to ask specific questions or share personal experience of cooperation with a person/ organization.\n\n\nSocial network links will be present in all profiles, so any interested person can easily establish new business contacts (if the other party finds you interesting as well :)\n\n \n\nFurthermore, a Startup profile will have some additional functionality: \n\n* Like - this will add a startup to your follow-up list (or bookmarks), we will notify you about any updates about the project then;\n* Waitlist - if you are an investor and you like the project you can claim the sum you could potentially invest in it (this step doesn’t suppose any investments to be made), this information will let you track the popularity of the project among other investors.\n \nThe structure of the market place as it is:\n* Grouped listings of startups, VC Funds, Angel Networks, Experts - you can use our search filters to find any information you need;\n* Updates line - here you will see the latest updates and track dynamics of our community growth;\n* The recent articles and news from our blog will also be present on the main stage.\n<center>![](https://blog.rocketdao.io/sites/default/files/inline/images/Rectangle-rocket-expert%20%281%29.jpg)</center>\n## 3.0 version\n \nSo, to cut the long story short, here is a systematic overview of the functionality which will be released by the end of April, 2019. \n \n \nRocket DAO will become the place where:\n \n\n**Startups:**\n* Create their public profiles (or one-pagers);\n* Search investment funds, accelerators, business angels networks and so on in a specific category using our advanced database filters.\n \n \n**Experts:**\n* Will be able to follow the most interesting startups and join them in the role of mentors;\n* Get access to the unique expert knowledge base totally dedicated to startup analysis; \n* Create new evaluation methodologies and ask to participate in Due Diligence (our community manager will gladly assist you with that). \n\n**Investors:**\n* Use advance startups search filters in our database by category, stage, round, previous investments, location and so on;\n* Add startups to whitelist and track their progress;\n* Contact startups if they seem interesting and perspective, view profiles of startups’ founders with links to their social profiles;\n* Create public profiles of their funds, syndicates, groups and manage them accordingly.\n\n<center>![](https://blog.rocketdao.io/sites/default/files/inline/images/22.%20You%20are%20welcome.png)</center>\n\n## But this is only the beginning…\n \nWe will continue development and research. We won’t stop, we will do our best in digitizing the venture market and automating decentralized evaluation of startups. In the final version of new Rocket DAO we will present to you the following functionality:\n* Rich customization abilities for each outlined role, regulated notifications and bookmarks with statistics and dynamic updates of the liked projects; \n* Ability register as investor, startup, create your fund or angel network - with all the information at your fingertips;\n* In-app messaging for registered users;\n* Tools for business plans development with examples, guidelines and templates;\n* Ordering to pass a Due Diligence by an open expert community so that to get rated for a specific investment round and present the report to investors;\n* Development of new evaluation methodologies, improving previous ones, extending expert network and spreading expert knowledge using cooperation tools integrated on the platform;\n* Tools for automated remote assessment of startups and online remuneration of the experts for Due Diligence conducting;\n* Ever-improving Knowledgebase fully dedicated to startup analysis. \n\n**It will be Smart. It will be Transparent. It will be Yours.**\n \n \nApply to participate in our closed beta testing on the website: https://rocketdao.io/\n \n \nNew series of Development updates are coming very soon.\nWe will tell you what each of the development sprints now includes and provide you with more details on each of the roles and profiles. \n \n \n*Always yours,\nRocket DAO team.*\n\n***\n*Here we are:*\n\nBlog: https://blog.rocketdao.io/\nLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rocket-dao/\nFacebook: https://web.facebook.com/RocketDAO/\nDiscord: https://discord.gg/fhUfRn\nTelegram (Rocket): https://t.me/RocketICOen\nTelegram (Expert): https://t.me/rocketdaoexpert\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/rocketdao_io\nMedium: https://medium.com/@rocketdao",

      "body": "**The second part of our article about startup unicorns is dedicated to financial modeling, risks assessment and legal risks minimization.**\n***\n<center>![](https://blog.rocketdao.io/sites/default/files/RocketDAO-How%20to%20build%20%20a%20startup-3%401x.jpg)</center>\n***\n\n \n\n## FINANCIAL MODEL and RISKS evaluation\n*The ability of the team to forecast and analyze its financial results is probably the first thing any investor pays highest attention to. **Sergei Mikhailov**, managing partner in RegisConsult explains an important point on this matter:*\n \n\n—  Talking about Pre-Seed and Seed startups one should understand that their valuation to a greater extent comprises a number of factors, including business idea, technology, team. It’s common knowledge that in most cases startups do not generate any revenue on these stages living on the FFF (Family, Friends, Fools - or the people to talk to first when pitching an idea and attracting first investments - Ed.) financing. It means that there is no operating profit yet. At the same time income method uses this parameter for company’s valuation deducting amortization from it (EBITDA).\n\n\nMoreover, it is evident that forecasting and planning financials for operating businesses is much easier than of startups due to availability of all necessary historical data, regular clients, suppliers, and an established predictable market. But this is not the case for startups, as a financial plan of the latter is developed based on the founders’ judgments and their vision of the future only.\n\n \n\nConsequently, the main question to be analyzed within this parameter is not something like ‘how to build a super financial model’, but ‘how to develop a financial plan which would allocate investments in the most effective way’.\n\n \n\n**Advice №1. While analyzing a startup financial model make an accent not on the financial numbers and results, but first of all on the calculations, preconditions, and assumptions which lead to such financial indicators.** How adequate and rational are monetization hypotheses? What are they actually based on? Let’s take Total revenue as an example, a quantitative measure of this indicator is not enough. To analyze Total revenue more comprehensively you should study what it actually consists of (products and their prices) and correlate it with current market conditions, its aggregate demand and price level. Or for example Cost of sales, this parameter is mostly determined by personnel costs. So an expert should examine how many competent employees are needed and are actually engaged in the project, how competitive are their salaries, are there any avenues for costs optimization.\n\n \n\nThe same logic should be applied to any point of the financial planning.\n\n \n\nAnd remember to make a summary analysis of how reliable and accurate the financial plan is as a whole.\n\n \n\nStartup risk management principles are very similar to the ones in big companies, but with certain peculiarities of course. Unlike big corporations with risks departments or at least internal audit teams in startups all risk management functions are usually assigned to a CFO (at best) or to CEO.  What is more, the level of uncertainty in startups is super high, this is so due to the fact that such projects evolve rapidly (well, it is critical for their survival), create an absolutely new product and form a new market.\n\n\n**Advice №2. As for this case, startups should determine basic (or fundamental) risks, choose the relevant means for their reduction and implement a permanent control system which would prevent new risks and monitor already existing ones.** Such an approach will let startups respond quickly to any kind of risks taking place on their way. This is always a positive message for investors and a factor that increases its valuation.\n\n \n\n ***\n\n## LEGAL RISKS evaluation\n*It is quite common for investors to confront with legal problems when engaging with startups. Our expert and an experienced lawyer Vsevolod Sunchuk explains how a startup can avoid or at least minimize the number of such problems:*\n \n— Prior to attracting investments a startup should win the trust of the investor, demonstrate perspective financial gains and legal security measures that are in place. Investor needs to make sure that the startup is not a scam project, is not a subject to: sanctions by the state; lawsuits by team members and partners; disagreements between the founders, which can all lead not only to negative financial and reputational consequences, but also to the project’s breakdown.\n\n \n\nIt is necessary to comprehensively settle all relations legally in order to minimize the risks mentioned above.\n\n \n\nThe first step is to register a legal entity after that such a startup falls under the legal field of the country where it is registered what automatically makes all its activities legal and transparent. If there are several founders, it is necessary to regulate the order of decision-making and distribution of profits between them in the Charter of the company or in partnership agreements.\n\n\nAnother important point concerns taxation. An organization should be registered in the local tax authorities, properly pay taxes and have no arrears to them.\n\n\nAll relations with the team members should be legally formalized by singing labor or civil contracts with clear job description and a properly defined procedure of transferring intellectual property rights of the results of the work. Local regulatory (corporate) acts serve the same purpose.\n \n\nRelations with contragents should be formalized with the help of commercial contracts.\n\n\nInnovative companies should also register their intellectual property rights to means of individualization (brand name, trademark, etc.).\n\n\n\nThese minimum requirements can largely protect business owners from negative legal consequences and attract potential investors.\n\n \n\n ***\n\n## What’s next?\nThe world’s venture ecosystem is growing and developing quickly. The percentage of high - quality startups is increasing, while investors’ analysts do their work better and better. To succeed a startup should:\n* follow all recommendations provided in the recent articles\n* do not hesitate to ask mentors and experts for advice and support\n* regularly communicate with potential investors\n* constantly develop the project's team, their skills and competencies\n\nFor a quick start of the newcomers in the venture market we have prepared an expert **knowledge base** with all methodologies developed by our expert community for startups evaluation. Find it via the [link](https://rocketdao.io/knowledge_base).\n\n\n> P. S. If you are an investor and you would like to order an honest evaluation of the projects; or if you are a startup seeking financing and preparing for a fundraising campaign; or if you are an expert looking for alternative expertise monetization instruments - Rocket DAO is the right place for you!\n\n \n> P.P.S The proof-of-work of such an approach is the successfully conducted **Due Diligence** for a crypto-wallet startup Multy which is available [here](https://rocketdao.io/DueD/Multy.pdf). We will be very grateful for your feedback.",

      "body": "**High time to lift the veil of secrecy and explain how startups should get prepared for fundraising. Below we will tell you what investors pay special attention to while making their investment decisions.**\n***\n<center>![](https://blog.rocketdao.io/sites/default/files/RocketDAO-How%20to%20build%20%20a%20startup%401x%20%282%29.jpg)</center>\n***\n## Unicorn\nThere is an evident startup boom in the market nowadays, the number of new innovative projects grows exponentially all around the world. But the truth is that all entrepreneurs are mainly looking for unicorns. This term was first mentioned by Aileen Lee (a U.S. seed investor) in 2013 in order to describe startups with a capitalization exceeding 1 bln dollars. According to Insider Pro, it took 2 years for WhatsApp messenger to reach the 1 bln mark, Uber did the same in 2,2 months. At the same time, typical companies from Fortune500 list need more than 20 years to have the same capitalization.\n***\n\n## Venture ecosystem transformation\nStartups’ capitalization increases times as fast as of “standard” companies. This fact attracts the most ambitious entrepreneurs in this field. Startup revolution keeps gaining momentum, innovative projects fundraised more than 140 billion dollars of venture investments in 2017. Quite an impressive sum, isn’t it? But it is a common knowledge that nearly 90% of all startups “die”, half of them closes during the first 5 years of their “lives”. Risks of managing or financing early-stage startups are very high. \n\nIt is necessary to unify approaches and evaluation criteria of innovative projects in order to let investors understand if a startup is worth paying any attention to and to let the startup know the backer’s requirements at all investment stages. This is the global aim that Rocket DAO is working on, developing a decentralized investing platform. Eventually, it will be a communication instrument uniting investors, startups and experts - the most important players in the venture ecosystem. \n***\n<center>![](https://blog.rocketdao.io/sites/default/files/inline/images/DSC00755_0.JPG)</center>\n***\n## Insights\nWe have identified 10 key parameters critical for startups:\n* Product\n* Business model\n* Market\n* Team\n* Technology\n* Financial model\n* Legal risks\n* Risks\n* PR and marketing\n* Resources and assets\n\nWe asked Rocket DAO experts to answer a question: which characteristics should a startup have in order to be valued at  1 billion.\n\n\n## TEAM\nHuman potential influences directly the project’s potential success. Independent blockchain consultant Sergei Lavrinenko describes the optimal team structure as follows: \n\n— A perfect team should have a good combination of commercial, product and technology competencies. The higher the previous accomplishments of the team members are in these three parameters, the higher is the overall evaluation score. A one billion startup team should have a world-wide known scientist, responsible for the product, an experienced businessman responsible for sales and a proficient CTO who is able to turn an idea into a high-quality software. But the truth is that the number of such teams is very small (if they do exist at all). But still, such criteria and such parameters display the level and quality of competencies necessary for a startup’s success. Assessing these professional parameters clarifies which aspects should be improved.\n\n\n\n## PRODUCT and BUSINESS MODEL\nA good product is the best marketing instrument. At the same time, a working and realistic business model is the guarantee that the project will be able to generate income. That is what TRIZ expert from EPAM Systems Andrew Kuryan thinks about it:\n\n— Hamburg school claims that the only success criterion for any project is the measure of the public good it generates. This public good is actually the number of people who directly or indirectly benefit from the company’s activities. In other words, this is the number of people who purchase or use products (or services) of the company. From this point of view, the company's revenue illustrates the public good in quantitative measurement.\n\nSo what does a startup need to succeed?\n* According to Clayton Christensen, the author of the Disruptive innovation theory, clients hire a product for specific task performance (Jobs-To-Be-Done concept), it means that a product or a service should solve a specific topical problem of the target audience (for example, Gmail manages mailing operations perfectly well).\nProducts and services are to be created for a big number of people. The more users, the better is the overall worldwide impact of the product.\n* The company has to grow constantly. Jim Collins, the author of the work “Good to Great” says that a company may be become \"great\" only if it demonstrates simultaneous growth in incomes sales, the number of clients and ROI during 15 years and more. Such a trend proofs that the company keeps producing public good on а bigger scale.\n* The company should be profitable. In order to produce and spread products/services, a company has to purchase resources and hire staff. So a company has to earn more than it spends on resources and employees so that to create value in the long-term period.\n* The company’s activities should be cost-effective. If the company’s profitability is above average market indicators it will succeed in attracting investments necessary for further growth and development.\n\nSumming up, a startup may succeed only if it has the right product and a correct business model. The right product will create value for users (p.1-2), while the correct business model (p.2-5) will provide the project with the instruments letting spread this value to as more people as possible and guarantee company’s growth.\n\n\n## MARKET, MARKETING, PR\nChief innovation officer in IsSoft, the author of the market potential and marketing policy evaluation methodologies Alexander Drobyshevski gives a clear explanation of the requirements addressed to startups:\n\n— It is important to understand that startup analysis should be conducted from the investor’s point of view who has to take into account a wide range of parameters, including market, team, business model, risks, products, etc.\n\nAssessing the target market an investor should pay special attention to:\n* Market type (geography, sophistication, segmentation, rules, growth rate) and its growth potential;\n* Market size demonstrates how well does the startup team understand its target audience in each market region and segment;\n* Competition level - this parameter is to be assessed with the analysis of direct competitors only and products-substitutes; this will demonstrate if a startup team has a good understanding of the competitive environment and know how to protect their position under the competitive pressures;\n* Barriers (legal, technological, commercial barriers, access to clients): a startup should be able to circumvent market patent barriers and even have potential to set itself a higher technological barrier for new market players.\n\nAnalyzing PR and marketing campaigns investor should, first of all, assess the overall approach of the team to these activities:\n* This function should not be supplementary (ballast) for the team member responsible for a different group of functions; this activity is very important for collaboration with professional media and final customers, so it takes time to perform it properly; \n* There should be a specified and timely performed plan of the promotion events with effectiveness evaluation;\n* Regular publications in the professional media are a good signal as well;\n* It is necessary for a startup to have communication platforms (like social media networks, messengers, blogs) for constant interactions with potential clients, a growing database of such clients will show that the product is in high demand in the market.\n\nThe sooner the startup has an established communication model with potential customers, the lower PR costs will be in the future.\n***\n> The proof-of-work of such an approach is the successfully conducted Due Diligence for a crypto-wallet **startup Multy** which is available [here](https://rocketdao.io/DueD/Multy.pdf).\n***\nWebsite: https://rocketdao.io/\nBlog: https://blog.rocketdao.io/\nLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rocket-dao/\nFacebook: https://web.facebook.com/RocketDAO/\nDiscord: https://discord.gg/fhUfRn\nTelegram (Rocket): https://t.me/RocketICOen\nTelegram (Expert): https://t.me/rocketdaoexpert\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/rocketdao_io\nMedium: https://medium.com/@rocketdao\nBitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5033016.0\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rocketdao.io/\nReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketDAO/",

Information presented in the report allows us to create a pitch deck and a detailed business plan as well.\n\n> **[Here is the public DueD report of Multy](https://apipi.rocketico.io/file/3373/view) **— an open-source multisignature wallet for Bitcoin and Ethereum cryptocurrencies and ERC20 tokens.\n\n \n\nThe key purpose of Rocket DAO is to develop an infrastructure where quality startups will have all the necessary tools for more easy-going communications with investors; at the same time, the quality of these startups will be guaranteed by experts who will evaluate and accelerate these projects.\n\n \n\n \n\n## Public Due Diligence standard\n* The structure of the report we have prepared will be used as a standard and typical structure of the Due Diligence report on our platform:\n* The first page is a onepager containing a brief summary of the project: product description, problem-solution, market, investment round, key team members and so on.\n* The most important financial metrics are placed on a separate section, these parameters include EBITDA, operating profit and total revenue, ARPU, WACC, capital expenditure and some more.\n* Evaluation criteria of each parameter are highlighted at the beginning of the specific business plan sections, where one can find the links to methodologies and their authors.\n* Components of the evaluation parameters are explained and supported by expert comments at the end of the evaluation sections.\n* Links to the documentary proofs to startup answers are provided along with the answers to expert questions envisaged in the evaluation methodologies.\n* Analysis of completeness and reliability of the data is available at the end of the document.\n* Recommendations to startup teams on each of the evaluation criteria are prepared by experts and included in the report.\n* And finally a glossary of the most complicated terms and abbreviations one can find in the report as well.\n\n***\n<center>![](https://blog.rocketdao.io/sites/default/files/inline/images/RocketDAO-DD-2%401x.jpg)</center>\n***\n## The purpose of the public Due Diligence\nWorking on the DueD report we set a goal not only to demonstrate to our stakeholders a sample of the expert community work results but also to:\n* Assess if expert methodologies are understandable and adequate enough for real practical use.\n* Correct and specify the questions that startups are to answer.\n* Verify startup evaluation criteria on each of the parameters, and change them if necessary.\n* Check if it is possible for a startup to provide all the required documentary proofs.\n* Develop step-by-step instructions letting valuate startups depending on the business model chosen.\n* Assess the adequacy of quantitative evaluation of each parameter.\n* Ensure simplicity and linearity of the steps of the business preparation and evaluation.\n\n## Evaluation procedure\nAs a result of this test evaluation:\n* Experts made necessary changes in their methodologies\n* We described the process of further evaluation automatization\n\n \n3 Multy team members were actively involved in the preparation of the necessary materials: CEO, CTO, Director.\n\n \n7 Rocket DAO experts conducted DueD (7 experts for 10 parameters, as two experts are the authors of two methodologies at a time). For the first test evaluation methodologists and experts were the same people. We chose such an approach as we believe that methodologists should first test their own methodologies on real startups and make conclusions if everything is taken into account. At the next step of the expert community development, we will attract new experts who will use original methodologies.\n\n \n\n**The report of the first public Due Diligence is [here](https://apipi.rocketico.io/file/3373/view).**\n\n ***\n<center>![](https://blog.rocketdao.io/sites/default/files/inline/images/RocketDAO-DD-3%401x.jpg)</center>\n***\n\n## Evaluation approach\nOur approach is different from the ones available on the market as:\n\n* Evaluation was conducted using in-house methodologies developed by a decentralized Rocket DAO expert community rather than by Rocket DAO team. All these methodologies were approved and accepted by this community. Evaluation criteria are available online, so anyone can easily figure out why this or that scores were given to any parameter.\n* Information provided by a startup is public and proved with relevant documents or links to researches (except for the cases when a startup requires not to publish its DueD). Reliability of the information is confirmed by experts who conduct evaluation.\n \n\nIt means that the information our platform provides potential investors with is not only well-structured but also reliable.\n\n \nWe hope that our solution will increase the quality of the decisions made by investors and cut down the level of the information noise. At the same time, it will reduce the uncertainty that startups face developing business plans for investors, this will let them on more relevant information that truly interests most investors. Having a detailed plan with specified criteria for the good business plan clarifies founders’ perception and understanding of their own business (in some sense it can be called acceleration).\n\n \n\n## What’s next?\nAt this very moment, we are working on the automatization of the evaluation procedure and Due Diligence report development.\n\n\nShare your opinion on the ways we could improve current evaluation system, join our expert community or apply for a Due Diligence mailing us at [[email protected]]([email protected]).\n\n\nBest regards,\n[Rocket DAO](https://rocketdao.io/) team.\nWe evaluate startups and introduce them to investors.\n\n \nAuthors: Andrew Miroshnichenko, Angelina Dmitruk\n\n***\nWebsite: https://rocketdao.io/\nBlog: https://blog.rocketdao.io/\nLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rocket-dao/\nFacebook: https://web.facebook.com/RocketDAO/\nDiscord: https://discord.gg/fhUfRn\nTelegram (Rocket): https://t.me/RocketICOen\nTelegram (Expert): https://t.me/rocketdaoexpert\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/rocketdao_io\nMedium: https://medium.com/@rocketdao\nBitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5033016.0\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rocketdao.io/\nReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketDAO/",

So this is a technology-intensive product which requires high investments in the beginning but at the same time, it can generate a sharp increase in incomes due to a very large circulation, reduction of the costs per unit of production or service in future.\n\n\nThat is why many founders pay their special attention to the technological aspects of the product. But such a disbalance in the commercial part can lead to serious biases eventually. It is a mistake to classify true engineer and investigators as real startuppers because they are usually the ones who concentrate on the entrepreneurial and commercial issues least of all. This approach has been supported in a certain way by strategic investors who focus on the technology rather than on the business model or commercial perspective of a concrete product. And the point isn’t usually about expanding the functionality of the core product or service of the strategic investor but about the elimination of the potential competitors in the field.\n\n\nSo, there are two basic startup strategies:\n* to create a business and generate income;\n* to sell a technological solution as expensive as possible so that to transform their engineer dreams into reality and gain profit from it.\n \n\n \n## How can one evaluate a startup’s product?\nThe question arises. How can one evaluate the project’s product taking both strategies into consideration?\n\n\nHere in Rocket DAO we understand the difference between customer value and technological component. That is why we have two alternative product evaluation methodologies. The first one makes an assessment of the product’s ability to solve particular problems. The second one lets conduct technological due diligence of this particular solution. So an investor may pay more attention to the technological or commercial aspect of the project depending on his/her strategic goals. We hope that such an approach will resolve existing contradictions between market and technology-oriented startups.\n\n\n\n### Jobs-To-Be-Done Concept\n[Product evaluation methodology](https://apipi.rocketico.io/file/3316/view) developed by Andrew Kuryan is based on the popular Jobs-To-Be-Done Theory (Powered by Strategyn. https://strategyn.com/jobs-to-be-done/).\n\n\nAccording to this approach, any product should, first of all, solve the problems of its target audience. It means that the project aiming at winning its customers should understand quite well:\n\n* whose problems does the product solve;\n* why is it an actual problem for the target audience;\n* what alternative solutions solving the same problems are there on the market already.\n \n\nAnswering these questions will help the startup understand if there are any target audience and relevant problems on the market they want to enter at all. But it is not that easy to give such answers. The point is that that product creators are usually so much passionate about their solutions that they are a priori completely assured in the huge prospects of the future products. In the early stages, it is enough to at least hypothetically describe the problems and the audience the solution is being developed for (as well as competitors, of course) in order to orient the startup to the market fit.\n\n\nThe main purpose of these questions is to clarify:\n\n* how huge is the audience of the project;\n* how substantive is the problem to be solved;\n* how unique is the solution proposed (are there any other alternatives at all?).\n \n\nAn ideal situation is when a startup understands perfectly well that its potential target audience has a problem which at the same time has no product which would effectively solve it.\n\n \n\n## Value\nThe second step concerts the values that the product proposes to the market. It is measured as the product’s scalability potential and copy protection.\n\n\nSo the startup has to define:\n\n* what is the number of potential users of the product;\n* what is the value the product can offer for its users;\n* what specific measures has the project to undertake in order to protect its market niche from the competitors?\n \n\nAn ideal situation for this case is when the product’s market is really huge, the project’s value is immense, there are no competitors which could at least approximately solve the audience’s problems, market barriers are well protected (with copyright for example).\n\n \n\n\n## Lifecycle\nFinally, the product is evaluated in accordance with the stage of the lifecycle it is actually at.\n\n\nThe author of the methodology Andrew Kuryan distinguishes the following stages:\n\n* Idea of the solution for JTBD-problem is defined only;\n* Product and/or service concept is defined only. It includes value proposition, functional and component model, solution architecture;\n* MVP is ready. Fusible studies of MVP are completed;\n* Readiness to buy studies are completed;\n* Certificates and licenses are confirmed;\n* Product is published on the (blockchain) platform;\n* Product is bought (small number of customers);\n* Product is bought (large number of customers).\n \n\nThe higher is the product’s development stage the more qualitative it is for investors.\n \n\nNote that the product’s quality is evaluated only from the point of the client value point of view, and doesn’t take into consideration technical implementation. Even the project’s lifecycle stage depend on the number of users.\n \n\n \n## Rocket DAO Expert\nIt is possible that the expert community will change some evaluation parameters in future. But at this very moment, the approach to the product from the customer value point of view proposed by Andrew Kuryan is enough to evaluate the product as an element of the effective startup business model.\n\nIf you are interested in joining an expert community boosting innovations all around the world, please feel free to register on our platform: https://rocketdao.io/expert_info\n***\nAuthor: Andrew Miroshnichenko\nTranslated by: Angelina Dmitruk\n***\nWebsite: https://rocketdao.io/\nBlog: https://blog.rocketdao.io/\nLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rocket-dao/\nFacebook: https://web.facebook.com/RocketDAO/\nDiscord: https://discord.gg/fhUfRn\nTelegram (Rocket): https://t.me/RocketICOen\nTelegram (Expert): https://t.me/rocketdaoexpert\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/rocketdao_io\nMedium: https://medium.com/@rocketdao\nBitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5033016.0\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rocketdao.io/\nReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketDAO/",

      "body": "## Is your business model really that excellent?\n ***\n<center>![](https://blog.rocketdao.io/sites/default/files/RocketDAO-disruptive%20business%20model%401x.jpg)</center>\n***\nSpecialists in startup analysis constantly debate which evaluation parameter is the most important one.\n\n \n\nThe one commonly accepted opinion among investors and business angels is that the team is an element of the real value for any startup. A strong team can cope with any milestones and hardships the project comes across along its way. The second question arises then: what is more important (from technological implementation point) - **the product itself or a working business model**?\n\n \n\nEventually, an expert community came to the conclusion that the product itself is an object which satisfies clients’ needs and at the same time it is an important element of the business model. It means that the product is the medium letting perform the functions necessary to meet customer needs; in case the business model is a good and efficient one, this medium can be changed depending on the functions performance quality.\n\n\nIt means that those startup teams which have quality competencies in the creation, variation, and development of business models are in greater demand only rather than the ones which are concentrated on tweaking of a perfect technical solution only. Perhaps this is partly the reason why the methodologies for startup's product and business model evaluation have been written by one expert.\n\n \n\nBut in real life, one can mention numerous stories when strategic investors back startups for their innovative technologies without paying much attention to the business model. So it is evident that in this case, a startup turns into a technology incubator with marketing hypotheses, but not a business incubator. That is why our experts developed a methodology for the technology due diligence, but this is the point to be discussed next time.\n\n  \n## Business model evaluation methodology\n \nThe author of the [business model evaluation methodology](https://apipi.rocketico.io/file/3052/view) is [Andrew Kuryan](https://rocketdao.io/users/628).\n \n \nHe is a TRIZ specialist who has been conducting researches of the most effective business models development techniques with the help of TRIZ instruments for many years already. Besides, he has created a service for testing and designing business models. That is why his methodology is of special interest for the expert community.\n\n \nAccording to Andrew’s approach, **a business model must be evaluated using 3 key parameters**:\n\n* Value creation schema;\n* Value proposition potential;\n* Costs structure.\n\n\nFor the **value creation assessment** one should take into account:\n\n* Product novelty level (developing an absolutely new solution or improving an existing one);\n* The degree of dependency on other companies;\n* Control of the inbound and outbound logistics;\n* Sales and clients systems (a third party or a self-developed platform);\n* Clients system and support.\n\n \n\nFor the **value proposition evaluation** do matter:\n\n* Having a critically different from competitors value proposition which can attract new customers and entice customers of the competitors;\n* Product price offer;\n* The ability to retain customers;\n* Company’s scalability potential;\n* Specifics of the paying procedure.\n \n\n**Costs structure analysis** requires to pay special attention to:\n\n* Customer Acquisition Cost which is calculated as\n\n**CAC = (Money + Time spent to attract a customer) / Number of new customers acquired**.\n\n* Customer Churn Rate means customers who cancel their subscription. This indicator is calculated as follows:\n\n**CCR = (Customers at the beginning of the month - Customers at the end of the month) / Customers at the beginning of the month**.\n* Absolute Operational Efficiency identifies the sources of efficiency loss between ideal performance and the best-observed performance, it means that it is equal to\n\n**AOE = (actual throughput) / (ideal throughput).**\n\n \n\n* Relative Operational Efficiency is the ratio of actual throughput compared the to best-observed throughput. Best observed throughput is often determined by using historical performance data.\n\n**ROE = (actual throughput) / (best observed throughput)**.\n\n \n\nThis is the right set of parameters to understand the efficiency extent of the business model.\n\n \n\n \n\n## Complicated business models\n \n\nHigh tech companies are getting more and more complicated, so do the ways such projects generate profits. The first evaluation conducted using Andrew Kuryan's methodology reflected some problems in business model designing.\n\n \n\nThere are many startups developing mobile applications which will actually be free of charge for consumers. Such apps usually generate income selling advertisements. So the question is:  **which value should one assess evaluating a business model - of the app’s user or of the advertiser**?\n\n \n\nSolving this problem Rocket DAO experts came to the conclusion that an advertiser will not deal with a mobile product if it has no users who are truly loyal to this application. It means that creating value for users is one of the sub-objectives while creating value for advertisers. But the end-user of the application within any business model is the one who pays money to the project. In the case described above the end-user is evidently an advertiser.\n\n \n\nTherefore only those startups will receive high evaluation scores which understand who their true customer is and what specific value they create to this main customer.\n\n \n\n \n\n## Conclusion\n \n\nWhat is peculiar in our approach is that business model evaluation methodology is based on the specific quantitative metrics which make this evaluation a truly objective and unambiguous one. What is more, this methodology is applicable even for early-stage startups what will let them accumulate data and chose the proper way for further development.\n\n \n\nSuch a digitalization of the business model description which is proposed by Andrew Kuryan makes his methodology different qualitatively from those being used in acceleration procedures.\n\n \n\n**[Join expert community!](https://rocketdao.io/experts)**\n***\n\nAuthor: Andrew Miroshnichenko\nTranslated by: Angelina Dmitruk\n***\nWebsite: https://rocketdao.io/\nBlog: https://blog.rocketdao.io/\nLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rocket-dao/\nFacebook: https://web.facebook.com/RocketDAO/\nDiscord: https://discord.gg/fhUfRn\nTelegram (Rocket): https://t.me/RocketICOen\nTelegram (Expert): https://t.me/rocketdaoexpert\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/rocketdao_io\nMedium: https://medium.com/@rocketdao\nBitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5033016.0\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rocketdao.io/\nReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketDAO/",

      "body": "## How can one evaluate a startup team?\n\n<center>![](https://blog.rocketdao.io/sites/default/files/RocketDAO-worth%20visiting%401x%20%282%29.jpg)</center>\n\nWith this very publication, we are starting a series of articles presenting the approaches to startups evaluation developed and now being actively tested on our platform. The team is the success factor we would like to start with.\n\nThere is a great number of the startup valuation methodologies which prioritize the team of the project rather than financial indicators what usually takes place when assessing real businesses. It is so because early bird startups have to work in uncertainty and constant hypothesis testing. That is why investors suppose that in case a project has a strong team, they will manage to resolve all uncertainties or find the right solutions for further development of any of their hypothesуs turn out to be a failure.\n\n There are so many different criteria used in different approaches and methodologies for startups evaluation. But still, most investors are convinced in the necessity to meet all team members personally, to look in their eyes. And it makes sense as many investors do rely on their intuition and emotions in the cases when it seems impossible to count all the risks and alternative variants.\n\nBut crowd investing cannot rely solely on intuition as it is physically impossible for all potential backers of the project to meet the team in person.\n\nSome more criteria for the quality assessment should be complied with. So these new methodologies should be:\n* approved by the expert community as the source of accurate, reliable, objective data about a startup;\n* accepted, understood, and credited by investors;\n* effectively used by experts with different backgrounds by means of the transparency of the technology, objectiveness, and unambiguity of the assessment.\n \n\nRocket DAO experts have already developed two alternative methodologies for startup teams evaluation. The first one focuses on the professional background of the key team members, whereas the second one is oriented at the psychological profiling.\n\n*** \n## Experience of the team members as the success factor\nThe author of the first methodology Sergei Lavrinenko assumes that any startup team needs true specialists in the following fields in order to succeed in the market:\n\n* Product development;\n* Technologies;\n* Business and marketing.\n\nThese three professional fields are the ones that really influence the project’s success.\n\nThe methodology requires to indicate the team members specializing in each of the fields specified above and their experience (the level of the previous company which a team member worked for: global, local and so on, the level of the position within the company). It is crucial to highlight the achievements approved by the field-specialists community - like winning in the relevant competitions, receiving nominations in the professional awards, publications in the peer-reviewed media and so on.\n\nThe author of the methodology proceeds on the assumption that all those achievements and professional backgrounds of the team members will give all the necessary competencies, connections and resources to the startup which directly influence its chances to become a new unicorn.\n\n This evaluation is time-consuming for neither a startup nor an expert who actually carries out an audit of the project. A startup will have to provide information and the data confirming its credibility about the key specialist of the team. An expert will have to determine the level of the companies, positions, and achievements of each specialist.\n\nThe total score is calculated automatically.\n***\n## Psychological profiling\nThe second methodology is much more complicated with regard to the practical realization. The author of the approach Vadim Soroka focuses on the evaluation and assessment of the factors influencing team success.\n\n \n\nIt is his understanding that success is the degree to which the team reaches the predetermined goals. So the author proposes the following formula:\n\n \n\n**A successful team =\na relevant leader +\na relevant working group +\ngood manageability of the working group +\nhigh productivity of the team.**\n\nThe author uses the following parameters for the productivity evaluation:\n\n* transparency of the management tasks and objectives;\n* a well-determined structure of relations and assignment of responsibilities;\n* availability of those specialists who will perform all the functions claimed to be executed;\n* evaluation of the labor input and of all deadlines;\n* inducement system.\n \n\nThe relevancy of the team leader is evaluated in accordance with his/her:\n\n* motivation;\n* relationship building skills;\n* results-orientation;\n* stress tolerance;\n* social and emotional intelligence;\n* decision-taking level;\n* roles performed within a team (according to Belbin team-roles theory);\ninfluencing.\n \n\nIn order to evaluate the relevancy of the working group one should assess the following parameters within the team:\n\n* availability of all team roles and specialists performing each of them;\n* motivation of the team members;\n* understanding of the role-playing position;\n* psychological combability of the colleagues;\n *conflict management;\n* satisfaction of the team members with the working conditions and their results;\n *distribution of the goods when reaches the predetermined goals and receiving profits from it, as well as in the case of failures and subsequent losses.\n \n\nThe following set of parameters help evaluate the degree of manageability of the team:\n\n* leader’s authority;\n* understanding and acceptance of the project’s goals by each team member;\nthe type of managerial connections;\n* disciplinary standards;\n* communications style;\n* decision-making model.\n \n\nAll these parameters will be evaluated with the help of a series of online tests.\n\n \n\nAs one might notice the second approach isn’t based on the formalized evidence of the successful professional experience, but rather on the quality parameters, at the same time, focusing on the whole team dynamics rather than on individuals.\n\n ***\n\nEach expert will use the methodology which attracts him/her the most from the professional point of view. Each opinion has the right to exist.\n\n \n\nIf you have your own methodology and approach to the team's evaluation you are welcome to [Rocket DAO Expert](https://rocketdao.io/expert_info) to share this vision and develop a new methodology. But prior it is published you will have to defend it in front of the expert community. This will verify your expertise and turn into a new passive source of income.\n\n \n\nThe author of the article: Andrew Miroshnichenko.\n\n\nWith kindest regards,\nRocket DAO Expert team.\n***\nWebsite: https://rocketdao.io/\nBlog: https://blog.rocketdao.io/\nLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rocket-dao/\nFacebook: https://web.facebook.com/RocketDAO/\nDiscord: https://discord.gg/fhUfRn\nTelegram (Rocket): https://t.me/RocketICOen\nTelegram (Expert): https://t.me/rocketdaoexpert\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/rocketdao_io\nMedium: https://medium.com/@rocketdao\nBitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5033016.0\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rocketdao.io/\nReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketDAO/",

Or a new paradigm of startup evaluation.\n***\n<center>![](https://blog.rocketdao.io/sites/default/files/RocketDAO-DUE-diligence%401x%20%281%29.jpg)</center>\n***\nCrowd-investing platform Rocket DAO has recently started testing its startup evaluation system. It means that the new principles of startup evaluation which the platform founders put on the basis of the project have produced initial results. Let’s talk about the way the approach of Rocket DAO differs from other approaches which are actively used today.\n\n \n\n## Who orders evaluation?\nIt’s obvious that startup evaluation is generally ordered by those who will use the knowledge about startup readiness and key metrics to their own advantages and who considers that all these evaluation costs will be refunded one day. These are investors and investment funds. As a rule, assessment criteria remain a secret for other investors, as the adequacy of assessment provides competitive advantages to the investor who is looking for new unicorns. In so doing, it turns out that investors don’t trust experts with their own approaches to startup evaluation. This is so because not the expert, but the investor actually risks the money.\n\n \n\nThat’s why an expert, or analyst, simply technologizes and algorithmizes a subjective approach an investor adheres to while evaluation projects. In practice, it turns out that analyst or expert make some basic screening of startups according to a predetermined by the investor set of parameters. After that, this investor examines these selected projects independently, then assigns meeting with the team, talks to them etc. After all, business-angel and venture investing is a high-risk activity, so the ones who invest their own money in startups are responsible for the final choice.\n\n \n\nTherefore, one can consider an evaluation system a truly competitive one if in the end, it gives the most effective startup assessment results on these two parameters:\n\n* % of successful exits of startups. If the industry average is 4%, then any surplus of this parameter is more effective than mindless investments.\n\n* $XXX. The calculation is very simple. That 4 % of survived startups in their profitability should exceed costs of all survived and “dead” startups.\n\n\n ***\n## Evaluation goals\nHowever, the profitability of the startup which has direct interactions with clients is not the only strategy of the return on investment. Let’s not forget also about the opportunity to sell startups to larger corporations, competitors; mergers and acquisitions practices; decisions made on the basis of insider information; strategies aimed at short-term growth and stock devaluation of the companies which acquire other startups. All those who are focused on this income-generation model develop their own approaches and set their own goals for startup evaluation, which, by the way, are not reported to anyone for obvious reasons.\n\n \n\nThus, experts don’t interact with each other, no expert knowledge about startups can eventually emerge. Those insights about startup success factors proven in practice are hidden from others, so they have no chance to become an asset of the community.\n\n \n***\n## Investing valuation in value investing\nValue funds represent quite an interesting environment for knowledge generation about the ways of business value measuring (not of the startups). Usually, these funds are headed by experts who among other things primarily sell their expertise in startup valuation to contributors. Their work is quite interesting to analyze for the following reasons. \n\nFirstly, they must always communicate with their contributors explaining their investment decisions (that’s why the invaluable knowledge about factors influencing the company value is contained in compilations of letters like, for example, a classic book of Warren Buffett). Secondly, value investing is long-term focused, therefore, we get an opportunity to test funds’ decisions.\n\n \nSo, both the publicity of the valuation and its parameters, as well as the opportunity to test these decisions over the long-term, do influence the growth of knowledge about a proper valuation procedure of a business judging by the example of value investors.\n\n \n\nHowever, a substantial limitation in the use of the value investing experience in venture investing is that companies whose shares are held by value investors have gone through a series of filtration procedures while entering the stock market, have cash flow and a financial reporting. In venture investing the degree of uncertainty is way above, that is why one can’t use value investing techniques in venture investing procedures.\n\n*** \n\n## Startup valuation in crowd investing\nCrowd investing is indeed an environment which should provide transparency and knowledge accumulation about the valuation of investment projects. Since many investors participate in crowd-investing, there is a need to inform a huge amount of investors with the factors needed to make certain investment decisions. It’s achieved, paradoxically, by the centralization of startup valuation. \n\nAll services where crowd investing is usually organized turn out to be a kind of rating tables with a centralized and often non-transparent assessment system. They win the trust of investors when tokens of top-rated startups enter cryptocurrency market and face a great demand from the community as was initially forecasted. It takes place without any transparent financial reporting and real cash flow of these startups. So, then it becomes clear that non-transparent centralized startup assessment platforms and solutions serve to the speculative purposes rather than to the investment ones.\n\n \n***\n## Value-oriented management\nStartup infrastructure implies incremental growth of its value and the resale of its share. It means that an investor, directly or indirectly, estimates startup value, while the founder of a startup working on the project orientates to the actions which will lead to the startup value growth (for investors) whether he/she actually wants it or not. There are certain parameters on a fund market which allow investors to understand what the financial situation of a business actually is. Since a startup doesn’t have a transparent and public financial reporting in the early investing stages, it’s difficult to calculate the true startup value on the venture market. Therefore, investors use their own metrics. Well, the more investors, the more metrics consequently.\n\n \n\nThe startup founder improves indicators according to investor’s requirements.\n\n \n\nAnd if suddenly this investor loses interest in a startup, it will require many efforts to draw the attention of another one, as, obviously, he/she will have his/her own approach to startup valuation.\n\n \n\nTherefore, established stock markets with direct connections between operative companies reports and any approaches to value assessment are considered to be beneficial to their participants.\n\n \n\nThe problem of the venture startup valuation is not only in the fact that the valuation metrics developed for the companies which have conducted IPOs are not suitable for startups. But also in the fact that startups must be evaluated by other proxy indicators. The problem is that venture investors have their own, implicit and unpublic approaches for startup valuation. That’s why it becomes so difficult for startup founders to create a strategy for the growth of their business value.\n\n \n\nWhat to do in that case? How can one solve the problem of the honest investment startup valuation for a big number of investors with a relatively small average cheque size?\n\n \n***\n## Crowd due diligence\nIf many people become investors today, then a lot of people must assess startups.\n\n \n\nWe are convinced, that the decentralization is the future. But we are also convinced, that instruments for turning isolated individuals into an organized group are needed for the effective decentralization as well. In our view, it’s possible only by turning a crowd into the community. And so, only three specialized communities will participate in the venture process, such as the investment community, the startup community and the expert community. The last one should define the perspectivity of startups following the principles of transparency, impartiality, and objectivity.\n\n \n\nTherefore, in Rocket DAO we initially set a task to create a service for building, functioning and developing of these three communities — of investors, startups, and experts.\n\n \n\nWe understand that the community of experts is, in general, much more effective, stable and resultative, than each of its members individually. Certainly, Rocket DAO team is the main initiator of the creation and the work of community from the very beginning, but very soon the community itself will take all core management functions on its own.\n\n \n\nThe main shortcoming of the existing evaluation practice lies within the fact that both investors and startups are trying to turn solo. Startups do their best to maximize their value while investors underestimate projects in order to get a better deal. In this case, experts will become a kind of independent actors all together united by historically powerful value — the pursuit of the truth. In our situation, it concerns solution of the startup success riddle. Experts will not adjust parameters letting the increase or decrease of the actual startup value serving the interests of startup teams or investors but rather will provide both parties with independent reviews.\n\n \n\nThis approach will point out more perspective startups (what is a true value for venture investors) and help innovative project find out the areas for further effective growth and development.\n\n \n\nSo, an expert community should be independent of investors and startups. How can these goals be achieved? Who will pay for this expert community?\n\n \n\nWe strongly believe that startups are to pay for the expert reviews, as this is will be their most valuable self-investment for future fundraising campaigns, these sums will substitute multiply exceeding costs spent on marketing, promotion, investors attracting to the project.\n\n \n\nBut well, if experts are paid for their expertise, how can one validate the independence of the assessment? This is the key factor of the investors’ trust.\n\n \n\n**Our complex solution will solve this controversy through:**\n\n* decentralization of the evaluation — different experts will perform different tasks: some of them will develop methodologists, others actually evaluate projects, the third group will control the quality of the evaluation results;\n\n* specialization in one of the evaluation parameters and consequently assessment of a project on one parameter only: team, product, business model, market, technology, legal, financial model, risks, resources and assets, PR and promotion;\n\n* strict algorithmization and standardization of the evaluation operations so that expert would always follow predetermined transparent and unambiguous steps;\n\n* expert ratings dependent on the quality of evaluation;\n\n* time limits set for the evaluation procedure.\n\n \n\nTransparency of the evaluation process will be guaranteed by our platform, community regulations and methodologies of startups evaluation will be the primary responsibility of the expert community.\n\n \n***\n## Experts and methodologies\nIn order to constantly increase the quality of the evaluation procedures and let expert focus on the evaluation methodologies only we divided all experts into two major groups.\n\n \n\nThe first one will be responsible for methodologies development, while others will assess projects using community-approved methodologies. If some of the experts want to prove others that he/she is better than the rest of the experts, then he/she may simply write a new evaluation methodology and to present it to the community. But first, he/she will have to evaluate at least 10 projects using an existing methodology in order to specify all nuances from the inside.\n\n \n\nThe author of the methodology will receive commissions each time his/her methodology is used. So an expert will not only obtain community respect and test his/her own hypotheses concerning startups success factors but will also monetize his/her knowledge developing new methodologies.\n\n \n\nRocket DAO experts have already developed 14 evaluation methodologies for 10 parameters, 10 of these methodologies all together constitute the first set of requirements to startups on different investment rounds.\n\n \n***\n## Public startup quality standard\nSumming up, we are striving to create the first ever decentralized public startup evaluation system, the one which will be effectively used by all members of the investing crowd.\n\n \n\nIf you feel like you could contribute to the development of the community, if you are able to develop a new methodology, then welcome to Rocket DAO Expert.\n\n \n\n \n***\n*Author: Andrew Miroshnichenko\nTranslated by: Alena Palchenko*\n***\n\nWebsite: https://rocketdao.io/\nBlog: https://blog.rocketdao.io/\nLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rocket-dao/\nFacebook: https://web.facebook.com/RocketDAO/\nDiscord: https://discord.gg/fhUfRn\nTelegram (Rocket): https://t.me/RocketICOen\nTelegram (Expert): https://t.me/rocketdaoexpert\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/rocketdao_io\nMedium: https://medium.com/@rocketdao\nBitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5033016.0\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rocketdao.io/\nReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketDAO/",

      "body": "## Rocket DAO Startup: smart fundraising and expert support\n<center>![](https://blog.rocketdao.io/sites/default/files/RocketDAO-Smart%20fundraising%401x.jpg)</center>\n\nHere in [Rocket DAO](https://rocketdao.io/) we have recently developed **the first version of our startup evaluation system**. That’s great, isn’t it? And now we are about to **start testing our methodologies and evaluate startups in a test mode**. We are truly eager to expertly assess all sides of the projects, that is why we need to collect and confirm huge amounts of information.\n\n \n\nThe system we are developing is a big and the most trustworthy one. Receiving an expert review any startup registered on the platform will eventually get **access to the investors of the platform** and start their fundraising campaign.\n\n \n\nWe think it’s high time we explained to you why this thorny path startups need to pass prior starting a fundraising campaign on our platform is really worth all the time and resources spent on it.\n\n \n\n### Business plan investment funds are looking for\nEvaluation forms that startup will have to fill in reminds a detailed business-plan (or whitepaper, as you wish). As soon as evaluation is conducted you will receive a document ready to be presented to investment funds as it will contain the most precise data about your project and expert evaluation on each parameter.\n\n \nThe questions experts have prepared for you will help you rethink, improve descriptions and analyses of your business model, target audience, token economy, and many other issues. Actually, answering all the question in the questionnaire will accelerate your project on each of the evaluation parameters.\n\n \n\n### 10 experts, 10 evaluation parameters, 10 independent scores\nThe mission of our assessment system is to compare factual characteristics of the project with the required ones and to provide startups with relevant expert feedback and recommendations on this matter. It is crucial for investors while making their decisions whether to invest in a project or not. Well, all investors are different. Each of them pays attention to specific aspects of projects. That is why in order to increase the chances of a startup to attract investments we strive to demonstrate details about them from all possible sides.\n\n \n\n[Rocket DAO Expert](https://rocketdao.io/expert_info) evaluates each project from 10 sides: team, product, market structure, business model, legal, risks, resources and assets, PR and promotion, tokenomics, technologies. Some experts and investors think that team is the main criterion of the project’s success. Some think that product is more important. Each investment fund focuses on the parameter they believe is the most crucial one. Our evaluation system allows each investor to understand the state of the project in the specific focus he/she is most interested in. This approach gives startups access to a wider range of investors and increases their chance to be noticed by potential backers.\n\n \n\n### Independent ratings\nWe understand perfectly well that different project has different readiness characteristics of their products. So we should evaluate each project depending on the investment round they currently are at. And each project can get relevant rating and scores in regard with requirements determined for each round. It increases the chances of attracting financing desirable and appropriate for each investment round. Ratings are made up from the points a project receives on each parameter. Such a rating helps investors to choose the main underlying asset of the project and to understand how unique this asset is for the market.\n\n \n\n### Expert support\nThere are some particular criteria describing a perfect project on each methodology for those 10 parameters. Each expert suggests specific steps that are to be taken so that to become a perfect startup. So, in fact, our Rocket DAO Expert turns out to be not only a rating agency or startup accelerator but also an expert consulting provider.\n\n \n\n### Tokenization of your equity in order to legalize fundraising procedure\nThere are many legal questions while attracting financing from foreign investors (as this becomes necessary for the cases when there are a few local investors with small amounts of capital available). That is the approach to fundraising startups from developing countries adhere to doing their best to join accelerators or reaching out finds of the developed jurisdictions. In fact, this is the reason why ICO became such a popular investment instrument. Nevertheless, very soon it turned out that this tool has a great number of inconsistencies with legalization and a bad reputation due to scam projects having overused this instrument last year.\n\nOur platform solves these legal problems connected with attracting financing from abroad by tokenizing startup equities as a part of the procedures approved by SEC. This way we provide startups with those strongly needed instruments for fundraising.\n\n \n\n### Reduction of marketing costs on raising investments\nThere are numerous investment funds and startups. Most funds belong to one or several investors. They have their own startup evaluation metrics with their own investment interest focus. So you have to communicate with just a super great number of finds in order to attract financing. It takes time. And money.\n\nCrowdinvesting is the way out! But it implies spending huge sums on marketing so that to attract as more micro investors as possible.\n\nAt the same time, Rocket DAO offers a hybrid model. You pay for the evaluation of your startup by Rocket DAO expert community, then investors registered on the platform (many investors) make their decision whether to invest in your project or not. So you reduce the costs necessary for attracting investments in both directions.\n\n \n\n### Conclusion\nThe main feature that distinguishes us from other existing alternative crowd-solutions are the tools for interactions between investors, startups, and experts that we provide. As soon as you become a regular member of the community, you may collect new teams, generate new ideas and apply for evaluation several times in order to attract new funds for your innovations. You can take different roles at one time: invest in projects that seem interesting for you, apply for fundraising or evaluate other projects if you are an expert in any of the parameters prescribed.\n\n \n\nAuthor of the article: Andrew Miroshnechenko.\n\n \n\n> And remember: what can be tokenized will be tokenized.",

Here is **Rocket DAO Development team** with the freshest development updates for you today!**</center>\n\n ***\n<center>![](https://blog.rocketdao.io/sites/default/files/RocketDAO-Development%20updates_okt%401x.jpg)</center>\n***\n\nOur **platform Beta testing** is being actively carried out. Small bugs have been found but we have corrected all of them of course. So being sure in the performance capacity of the platform we dedicated our time to some innovative updates. Here they are!\n\n\n \n\n### [DAI](https://makerdao.com/whitepaper)\nRocket DAO **resolves the problem of cryptocurrency volatility** through implementation of the **stablecoin DAI** as the main coin to purchase tokens.\n\n \n\nThe Dai Stablecoin is a collateral-backed cryptocurrency whose value is stable relative to the US Dollar. Stable digital assets like Dai Stablecoin are essential to realizing the full potential of blockchain technology. This integration will let investors be independent of the crypto exchange rate volatility and feel comfortable while creating mutual funds as DAI makes sure that the sum contributed will be free from market fluctuations.\n\n \n\nAnother important feature concerning Rocket DAI Investor implies the new ability to contribute both ETH and ERC20 tokens to the funds and startups smart contracts.\n\n\n \n\n### [WYRE](https://blog.sendwyre.com/community-driven-on-chain-compliance-d334e0f5962b) \n\nIn order to simplify the process of exchanging and getting tokens on the platform, we integrated the Wyre service. Rocket DAO realizes **Wyre solutions for KYC/AML procedures and for the DAI coins purchase using fiat money**. So now:\n\n *  A user on the platform will have to verify the wallet using Wyre, pass KYC on their platform. So then this regulated service provider will allow verified users to opt-in to receive an ERC-721 compliance token. This token is minted from licensed parties, e.g. Wyre, and applied to a verified user’s Ethereum wallet of choice. Wallet status without Wyre KYC will be Not Verified.\n* The system checks the status of the user's wallet: if a 721-token are displayed on the Wyre account and KYC is confirmed, then the wallet receives the “Verified status”.\n* If the status of the user’s wallet on the Wyre and Rocket DAO platforms is Verified, then Cashout and Deposit functions become available. It gives a user access to the Wyre platform functionality which allows exchanging fiat money for tokens through the user's bank or change and deposit funds to the customer’s account in the bank.\n\n***\n\nIf you haven’t received your free ROCK tokens yet, then don’t hesitate to do that right now and take part in our [Bounty program](https://rocketdao.io/guide) on the platform!\n\n \n\nDoing our best for you! Staying tuned with the world trends and promoting security coin offering.\n\n**The future is tokenized!**\n***\nWebsite: https://rocketdao.io/\nBlog: https://blog.rocketdao.io/\nLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rocket-dao/\nFacebook: https://web.facebook.com/RocketDAO/\nDiscord: https://discord.gg/fhUfRn\nTelegram (Rocket): https://t.me/RocketICOen\nTelegram (Expert): https://t.me/rocketdaoexpert\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/rocketdao_io\nMedium: https://medium.com/@rocketdao\nBitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5033016.0\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rocketdao.io/\nReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketDAO/",

      "body": "<center>![](https://blog.rocketdao.io/sites/default/files/RocketDAO-Media%401x%20%283%29.jpg)</center>\n***\n# Media 3.0\n**Countries with well-developed investment infrastructures** provide investors with a great number of services letting ease the process of a funding decision making. At the same time, these countries have well-developed communication channels between stakeholders of this procedure: these are stock reports, messages from brokers or funds to their clients, analytical websites. This world is based not on the practice established but on the investing culture proposed by these investors.\n\n \n\n \n\nThe fact is that **the quality of the investment system depends on the quality of communication facilities** between all the participants of the investing process. Having no barriers to the capital transfer those investors from the developing countries allocate their funds in the more investing-developed jurisdictions. Governments of such countries take offense obviously (after all this is the key reason for the capital outflow). The point is that developed countries are usually better informed, investment procedures are transparent, differentiated and customized.\n\n \n\n# Crowd- and blockchain- technologies\nBut all these facts may be applied to the formed traditional investing systems only. Today we observe the creation of **fundamentally new investing practices and cultures**, the ones with the **crowd- and blockchain- prefixes**. They are different from the traditional as they provide:\n\n \n\nLow investment entrance cheque: this causes startups to create special support services (like community management, bots) to work efficiently with a big number of investors.\n\n \n\nUtility functions: potential users purchase tokens which are later exchanges for services or particular functions performed on the platform.\n\n \n\n \n\nSimply put, **ICO as a new fundraising instrument implies the active involvement of the big groups of investors or users in the utility turnover** what these platforms are actually developed for. In some cases it concerns the creation of smart contracts, in others, it supposes the voting right in a virtual country. So projects provide their clients with tokens which allow them to use the platform’s functionality (what will cost money in the future as it is needed for those platforms development). But as soon as these tokens are traded on the stock exchanges they become liquid assets.\n\n \n\n# Mediatization\nBut the matter is that **the cost of certain tokens depends directly on the users’ demand for the system’s functionality** which will be available as soon as these tokens are purchased. It means that projects have to actively communicate with their real and potential users at the launch stage. These interactions will be conducted through the existing or emerging communication systems which will as well present some media-doubles of the liquid assets (or the media of liquidity).\n\n \n\n \n\nWe adhere to the hypothesis that we all are now standing at the **beginning of the immense mediatization of all processes letting operate those assets** which gained their liquidity with the help of tokenization. This mediatization will evolve in the most unexpected ways but in the logic, we would like to describe to you today.\n\n \n# Media of liquidity\nSo, **media of liquidity** is a kind of a media-mask of the liquid assets which involve other users in its operations (advertising, some customized sub-cultures, client communities, the success and fail stories, gamification and so on). It is an interesting fact that today we observe a contrary tendency — we mean **tokenization of media as it is**. Receiving any kind of remuneration for your media activities (for some likes or posts in steemit for example) you add even more resources to the world of liquid assets.\n\n \n\n \n\nSumming up, **mediatization of the liquid assets aims at:**\n\n* turning those resources which has never been counted before but which actually directly influence financial flows (like media activities) into the **liquid assets**;\n* the creation of the **media intermediaries** of the liquid assets and development of the practices letting manage those intermediaries in order to increase their liquidity.\n \n\n \n\nThese forms of the interdependence between liquidity and media are obvious. But still, there is a less evident aspect: the integrative function of all media which was described by a great German **sociologist Nicolas Luman**. His theory explains the necessity in media as in a connective tissue for the time-space fragmented society (like a publicly available monitor displaying real-time what is actually happening in their all-united world). In fact, this function is now successfully performed by media. But those monologic mass media like newspapers, magazines and the TV which were so much popular in the 20s century were actually replaced by the polylogic and interactive internet of the 21st century.\n\n# How can you benefit from the integrative function of media?\nUniting together those clusters of the **complementary utilities and complementary tokens** in a single media space will enhance synergies in the **assets liquidity growth.** \n\nMediatization of liquidity perfectly fits in the ideas of **the economy of attention**. Very soon any kind of source in the world of liquid assets will have its own substitute as a **token medium**, so all emissions will be interested in the price growth of their tokens. That is why they will pay much attention to guarantee that their users interact with each other this way boosting tokens turnover and the growth of their price. **It will increase the liquidity of the assets.** In order to make it possible we will have to pay much attention to the development of the technics letting attract as many users as possible to our tokens.\n\nThis brand new world of the liquid assets will create a **brand new media world.** The world where each social interaction will be counted as a liquid asset. Sure there will appear some illiquid, free activities which will possibly have their own tokens in the future, but this means that they will also eventually obtain their own liquidity.\n\n*Your smart guide to the blockchain universe,\nRocket DAO team.*\n***\nWebsite: https://rocketdao.io/\nBlog: https://blog.rocketdao.io/\nLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rocket-dao/\nFacebook: https://web.facebook.com/RocketDAO/\nDiscord: https://discord.gg/fhUfRn\nTelegram (Rocket): https://t.me/RocketICOen\nTelegram (Expert): https://t.me/rocketdaoexpert\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/rocketdao_io\nMedium: https://medium.com/@rocketdao\nBitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5033016.0\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rocketdao.io/\nReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketDAO/",
