According to the video, a total of 900 startups conducted their ICOs in 2017, and of these about 300 failed. This level of failure creates ‘fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD)’ amongst investors and, as such, threatens to damage the credibility of all ICOs, regardless of the strength or merit or the project.

Cryptfunder has created a blockchain-based, decentralized platform that accepts applications from organizers looking to launch an ICO in support of their respective projects. Once approved, Cryptfunder receives a small portion of the successful applicants’ ICO tokens, pre-sale and this supports its own CFND token.

ICO details

What Cryptfunder says

Cryptfunder (CFND) is a decentralized funding source for startup ICOs and other blockchain companies.

Cryptfunder is committed to fuelling the progress and development of newer and better technologies with the goal of generating value for Cryptfunder, the community, and CFND token holders.

We will essentially be holders of multiple startup ICO tokens before even their pre-sale tokens are available to accredited investors.

The opportunity in this crypto-space is massive and we plan on taking the initiative to garner mass quantities of pre-ICO tokens in exchange for our seed funding.
