Peak Venture Group has announced the adoption of the BitShares 2.0 platform to integrate into their existing business

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / July 1, 2015 / "We're always looking for game-changing opportunities," smiled Steve Tiffany, CEO of Peak Venture Group. "BitShares has the potential to supercharge most of our existing businesses and revolutionize everything about how we start new ones."

The Las Vegas based startup incubator has big ambitions that leverage remarkable synergies in the crypto currency, ATMs, remittance, video gaming, and network marketing industries. "BitShares turns out to be the missing catalyst needed to stimulate viral growth across our whole portfolio," said Tiffany.

Mr. Tiffany went on to discuss his reasoning for the adoption.

"Our original killer concept was to bring together a network of merchants and affiliate marketers by helping them to connect with each other in a double-sided marketplace. Merchants are always looking for ways to sell their products and affiliates are always looking for lucrative new things to sell. We put together a system that helps them find each other. We already have over 17,000 members on our video game site and 8500 marketers in our affiliate system the first year. Whoosh!"

"Then one of those affiliates introduced us to BitShares," said Tiffany, shaking his head. "I thought it was just going to be a way to maybe make commission payments within our network a bit more automatic and trust-free. But after talking with BitShares Founder Dan Larimer, I realized his brainchild was going to change everything we do!"

"What exactly is it that we do?"

"We provide specialized training for an affiliate marketing force and broker connections to all kinds of products they'll find easy to sell. Then we go looking for startup companies with ideas worth investing in, and hand them a marketing outlet on a silver platter! Most startups focus on their products and services, leaving marketing as an afterthought. We deliberately invest knowing that we can add a powerful engine for customer acquisition on Day One. We look for startups that fit into that model, and then harness our marketing horsepower to their front end."

"Take for instance the market we put together for the gaming industry," he said. "And I'm not talking gambling or anything like that. When we say gaming, we're referring to the video game community. One aspect I'm talking about is the Massively Multi-Player Online Role Playing Games (MMORPG) - video games in which a very large number of players interact within a virtual game realm. It's a $65B industry world wide!"
