What is Republic?
Republic.co is a fundraising ecosystem founded in 2016 with the goal of providing startups with the tools and platform needed to raise capital from all types of investors, including those interested in blockchain investments.
The idea behind Republic is to democratize the investment landscape and allow anyone to become an angel investor and drive startup investing as a mainstream investment class.
By curating private investment opportunities, high-growth potential is made available across the startup, real estate, gaming, and crypto sectors.
Out of all startups that apply to be included in Republic’s selection, only 3% pass the due diligence and investment committee appraisal. This high level of inquiry provides special insight into the inner workings of the proposed blockchain investment projects, as well as expected investment yield rates.
In an effort to level the playing field for entrepreneurs and investors alike, Republic offers the lowest investment minimums in the industry starting at $10. This also allows everyone to dip their toes in multiple investment pools and build highly diversified portfolios.
Investing via a platform such as Republic means that you’ll be in good company as notable angel investors and VCs, as well as Republic itself, have a vested interest in all the projects they feature.
As of October 2020, more than 700.000 Republic users have invested over $200 million in 250+ completed deals.
If that is not “stuff the future is made of,” we don’t know what is!
As already said, crypto investing is just one of the landscapes you can enter with Republic. However, companies in the blockchain space can present a variety of innovative opportunities for a keen investor. Consequently, Republic offers a full-stack solution for launching digital assets that includes token design, minting, fundraising, and issuance, to name a few.
Working with Republic means that you will have access to their advisory services that not only tend to your needs and preferences but also make sure the entire process is compliant with the relevant US legislation.
If you’re not from the States, that’s not a problem either — international investors are also welcome to join the realm of venture capital via the Republic platform and utilize it to their advantage.
By joining forces with AIKON, access to blockchain investments through Republic has been made incredibly accessible to everyone.
How Are AIKON and Republic Working Together?
Republic has implemented AIKON’s flagship identity management solution — ORE ID — with the purpose of creating multi-sig accounts. This will enable secure password recovery and administrative wallet accounts.
To enable mass blockchain adoption, utilizing ORE ID creates a user-friendly way for users who are not crypto-savvy to find and join the best blockchain investments.
This collaboration allows non-technical, mainstream Republic users to log into blockchain DApps using their existing email addresses and social logins. Also, ORE ID enables users to keep custody of their digital assets at all times via a built-in non-custodial crypto wallet.
This is a fantastic opportunity for all interested in high-growth private investment opportunities on blockchain — where high-net-worth individuals and companies have easy and secure access via social accounts.
Together, we have paved the way for innovation to become part of our daily lives. Get in on the high-flying crypto investing scene!
