Why did you choose to join the Talao Team?

My appeal for Talao’s Team is quite personal. I was first seduced by the experience of the people in charge in this group who built one of the most successful webagency back in the time. I believe that the trust I grant them is evidence of the seriousness of their project.

What is your role to support the development of this new project?

My main role will be to help Talao Team at an international level. To advise, suggest and introduce them to associates and investors. I will use my network in order to fully support them during their journey.

What do ICOs enable firms to do?

ICOs allow firms to fundraise money at an international level. Furthermore, they give access, to the firms using them, to numerous investors and users for their proposed services. Not only the ICOs raise money but they create a new ecosystem beneficial to the relations client-service providers too.

With your experiences in the Silicon Valley what is your vision of ICOs?

The main benefit of ICOs, according to me, is the democratization of the access to capital. In contrast with usual capitalistic areas that used for example fundraising (that proved themselves not very efficient), ICOs allow people with no connexion to finance their projects. As I previously said, this peculiar ecosystem will cause the investor and head of projects to feel considerably more involved ; which is a good thing.

What do you think about the scamming that surrounds ICOs?

I admit that problems do exist, but we have to stay vigilant. We need to surround ourselves with trustworthy people that know about this kind of technology and not hesitate to use literature on the issue that is more and more accessible.

When done correctly, such a system will render an impressive transparency. It will be commented again and again which will guarantee long-term monitoring of the talents and services.

Moreover, in such a digitalized world, we are now able to gather more easily information on startups that we want to work with, which is reassuring when looking to hire.

What is your dream for Talao?

I believe that Talao team tries to answer an issue that has always been around, which is the falsification of skills. The first example that comes up when thinking about this is the demission of the CEO of Samsonite when American whistle-blowers discovered that Ramesh Tainwala was using fake diplomas.

This is exactly what Talao is preventing from happening with Talao and its Protocol : the guarantee of, when working with free-lancers, to clearly and truly be aware of their actual skills. As a result, a total transparency will limit scams when hiring talents. The world will become more transparent, fairer.

To conclude, is there a question you would like me to ask you?

I would like to talk about the economic model that Talao uses : the one of the DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organisation) because this is a new model based on full decentralization. The blockchain technology will disrupt intermediaries in the transaction process as Talao will get rid of any commission in its system and only create profit through the added-value when creating Talao tokens.

It is, nowadays, uncertain to truly know the skills of a hired person. I believe, however, that will change with Talao and that its team will revolutionize the independent workers market.
