The Alternative Investment Market (AIM) was launched on 19 June 1995 as a sub-exchange market of the London Stock Exchange. The market serves as a mechanism for companies seeking access to capital to realise their growth and innovation potential in different sectors of the economy. The companies listed on the AIM come from a number of different market sectors and from all over the globe. Companies operating in the market sectors of Healthcare, Finance, Oil and Gas, Technology, Industrials, and Consumer Services are the most frequently represented in the AIM. AIM has less onerous regulatory requirements, such as no set requirements for market capitalization or the number of shares issued. AIM stocks present an opportunity for the investor to get in early before the companies reach their full potential. Nowadays, this is an extremely large market, measured in billions of dollars and DarcMatter platform brings these investment options into one transparent platform that connects investors and the investment options. This existing platform is already a successful business, but DarcMatter is now planning to use blockchain technology to improve it further. Using the NEM blockchain, they plan to digitize many of the currently manual processes involved in getting information about funds and investing in them. NEM offers both a private and a public blockchain technology and incorporates a degree of centralization but, at the same time, is far more suited for quick and easy integration with current enterprise-grade technology than Ethereum. NEM is almost like a plug-in system that can be built on top of current technologies to allow for integration with the blockchain technology.

DarcMatter is an online investment platform that provides accredited investors with transparent and institutional-level access to alternative investments. DarcMatter is developing a blockchain based on distributed ledger to remove opacity and inefficiencies from the global alternative investment industry. DarcMatter Coin (DMC) will be used for a permissioned blockchain and will be utilized to unlock and to fulfil the smart contracts for the investment completion through the DarcMatter Decentralized Infrastructure.

DarkMatter is headquartered in New York City and also has offices in Shanghai and Seoul. The product development team is located in Kiev.

DarcMatter has raised $10 million this year from institutional investors, with $5 million already secured and a second tranche currently being marketed. The ICO will go public on March 22 and the company hopes to generate up to $20 million more.

There is a clearly defined and understood business model. The WP is readable and well laid out. It is simple but persuasive and professionally written. However, for such a complex and ambitious project it might be surprising to learn that the WP is only 17 pages long. In addition to English, it is offered in the Korean and Chinese languages. The website is certainly colourful, neat and well presented. The ICO, roadmap, team and contacts are easy to navigate. A strong presence on Social Media is usually a good indicator of company’s popularity. The number of participants in the Telegram chat - 14,651 members, Linkedin - 380 followers, Twitter - 6,602 followers, Facebook - 351 followers. These numbers are quite adequate. There is a page on the reddit site.

The site presents a professional core team of 5 members and 8 experienced advisors with technical, crypto and financial knowledge. A brief bio is displayed with every photograph and all persons have a link to LinkedIn profiles.

All in all I like the idea. I believe that the team will be capable to develop the existing platform and the overall project will be successful.
