Analysis: Great (9 out of 10): Airpod has a whitepaper and website page that details its token sale metrics. Its softcap of 2.7 million USD and hard cap of $20 million USD are good numbers for the scale of the project. It also plans on selling 80% of the tokens in the crowdsale portions, making it very fruitful for investors. It has a low entry price of .10 cents per token that presents itself as another major plus for investors. It has a bonus structure that is tied to the amount of funds raised which is a fair bonus system. Airpod also has a good allocation of funds model that will allow for it to draw investor interest and presents no major red flags overall. However a formal crowdsale end date was not listed and should be added at some point.

PROJECT PRODUCT

Analysis: Good (8 out of 10): Airpod Sleeping Pod is a capsule type of unit that will be installed in public places all across the world such as airports, hotels and other places. The AirPod will provide people with a place to relax and or undertake tasks in an otherwise busy and crowded public place. It also address issues of privacy and conform and disinfection of the unit as well by integrating a lighting system and privacy windows. It has a strong token model that will model itself as pure utility token to drive the system by using 50% of the money’s purchases to buy tokens on an exchange at market price and placing sell orders at the same moment.

BUSINESS STRATEGY & PLANNING

Analysis: Good (8 out of 10): Airpod believes that companies will want to invest heavily in APOD tokens for their employees that frequently travel. In addition, Airpod has a good plan in place to implement its pods all across the world in various public spaces. Its roadmap is accelerated to show that the first 10 AIRPODS will be manufactured in the second quarter of 2018. By Q1 of 2019, it wants to have 100 AIRPODS not only manufactured but installed in various public spaces, making it a bit ambitious. By 2021, the company hopes to have 1000 AIRPODS install. Overall, Airpod presents a simple yet achievable business model that may have elements that are tad bit overly ambitious.

MARKETING & SOCIAL MEDIA (Date of Report 03.10.18)

Analysis: Good (8.5 out of 10): Airpod has social media accounts on all major platforms. Its Facebook page has 6,885 likes at the time of this report and has an average of 3 posts per day. Its Twitter page has 5,135 followers at the time of this report and averages one tweet per day that has a high level of activity. Its Telegram chat room has 6,364 members at the time of this report and is fairly active with administrators responding to questions fairly quickly and accurately. Its Reddit page is active with a high level of posts and 250 readers subscribed to the page. Its Medium page has 4 posts spanning over a week’s time and will need a bit more activity. It also has an active YouTuve, Bitcointalk Forum thread and LinkedIn page along with an Instagram account in place.

COMPETITION & THREATS

Analysis: Good (8.5 out of 10): Airpod is in a unique position with a unique product. Its main competition would be the timing of entrance into the cryptocurrency marketplace given the high influx of ICO’s coming into the mix. It benefits from having strong token metrics and having a strong team in place. No working prototype was found at the time of this report and there could be issues that stem from manufacturing to not be able to place their products in enough public places to grow its token economy.
