Advisors: N/A

Partners: N/A

Investment attracted: N/A

ConclusionThe project’s aim is to help technical start-ups attract investments.

Strengths of the project:- The market the project enters is dynamically developing.

Weaknesses of the project:- MVP is unavailable.- Information on advisors and strategic partners is not available.- The team has no specialists in the field of investment.

Market and industryAccording to the Global Crowdfunding Market report, it is expected that the crowdfunding market will grow by 26.87% CAGR between 2016-2020.

According to figures provided by Ernst & Young (EY), the total amount of funds raised in ICOs is approaching $4 billion, which is twice the amount of venture capital invested in blockchain start-ups. This includes $0.5 billion, which Beijing demanded to return to investors, introducing a ban on ICO.

According to ICO Box, about 80% of investments in start-ups were made by large investors in the third quarter of 2017 (Chinese private investment companies, hedge funds and venture companies specializing in cryptocurrencies). The rest were retail investors.

At the same time, the crypto market still shows high growth rates. Infoholic Research LLP predicts that the market of cryptocurrency and Blockchain technologies will grow by 35.2% in the next 5 years. [http://crowdfundbeat.com/mobile/2016/02/03/report-global-crowdfunding-market-2016-2020/ ], [http://www.ey.com/Publication/vwLUAssets/EY-ico-research/$FILE/EY-ico-research.pdf], [https://www.infoholicresearch.com/report/cryptocurrency-and-block-chain-market-trends-2016-2022/]According to the team’s analysis, more than $34 billion was raised with the help of crowdfunding for innovative projects in 2015.

Comments: The market is developing dynamically, which indicates that there is an opportunity for the project to occupy its niche. However, it is worth noting that the data on the potential market submitted by the team in the Whitepaper is not relevant.

Competitors1. Traditional VCs:

The advantage of the project in this case is to prevent confusion for novice developers, more strategic freedom for investors, and a relatively liquid market for trading their stocks or their tokens at an early stage.

Disadvantages: Crypto investment is not so widespread and it does not have a long history of development.

2. Crypto capitalists:- cofound.it (https://cofound.it/) - A platform that connects you to teams that have trained to become serious blockchain businesses.- ICObox (https://icobox.io/) - A blockchain growth promoter and business facilitator for companies seeking to sell their products via ICO crowdsales.- Crypto Bazar (https://www.cryptobazar.io/) – A subsidiary of InvestBazar, a platform that has established itself as a strong player who can select quality business projects and find private investments for them.- Superbloom Capital (https://www.superbloom.com/) – Funding and accelerating groundbreaking Blockchain start-ups towards an ICO.- Catena Capital (https://www.catena-capital.com/) - A blockchain accelerator and ICO fund.- CoinCrowd (https://coincrowd.it/) – A decentralized platform, driven by the community, where you can launch new projects and raise funds with technological guarantees;- Iconiq Lab (https://iconiqlab.com/) – An investment fund and accelerator that allows start-ups to issue their own tokens, launch marketing campaigns and receive ICO funding.

Summary: The key difference between Coinet and its competitors is DAICO for companies and the project monitoring system.

Engineering features of the platformThe platform is built on the basis of Stellar blockchain and smart contracts. Stellar provides tokens that support all platform technologies such as decentralized exchange markets (DEX) and smart contracts for verifying and securing transactions. The Stellar Consensus Protocol is also used to verify transactions.Smart contracts establish the procedure for obtaining investment and receiving returns from those investments.

Technical descriptionCoinet works as follows:1) The borrower presents his project.2) The Coinet inter-disciplinary committee evaluates the project, its potential and competitive advantages.3) If the project passes the test, a smart contract is created on the platform and investments are made.4) As the project develops, investors monitor its progress and continue to invest in case of positive results or withdraw funds in the case of negative results.. In case of a loss of investors, the project will have two more chances to regain investment.

Comments: The project uses well-established technologies in the market.
