            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Out of millions of startups created around the world each year, only a few hundreds of them manage to secure funding from venture capital investors.</p><p>Even though VC investors are quite active nowadays and are generating quite a lot of profit from their investments, they are reluctant as always to invest in startups in their growing stage.</p><p>The reason why venture capitalists scrutinise businesses so much before investing in them is that VC funds spend millions of dollars into risky companies with no profits generated until then. And VC investors only put their money in companies which they believe has the potential to make profits in the future.</p><p><strong>Why Are VC Funds So Important for Startups?</strong></p><p>The main reason why startups desire VC funds so much is that they bring in huge money. Venture capital investors are ready to invest in millions and billions depending on how valuable they deem the business to be in the future. This gives startups with enough capital to outgrow the competition and improve business conditions rapidly.</p><p>Also, venture capital investors are less likely to pressure startup owners to build profits quickly and give them enough time to grow and scale according to the business plan and current market conditions.</p><p>As VC investments are so high profile, it also builds trust and value on the startup thus increasing the popularity and fetching investment opportunities on a global scale.</p><p><strong>How Blockchain Will Encourage VC Investment in Startups?</strong></p><p>As we mentioned in the beginning, despite the benefits startups have by gaining VC investments, very less number of startups actually increase VC funding in their growing stages.</p><p>However, thanks to the Blockchain technology and its features, venture capital investments now seems like a possible achievement for startups than ever before.</p><p>Below we have listed out some important ways how blockchain-backed investment platforms are enabling startups to gain VC funding effectively.</p><p><strong>Tokenisation of Investment</strong></p><p>Tokenisation is one major feature of the blockchain technology, and it helps investors to fund startups easily, diversify their investment, and invest in tokens directly as well.</p><p>For startup owners, tokenisation helps in gaining funding from any part of the world without having to pay any fee.</p><p>The <a href="https://ico.uris.io/?utm_source=trustnodes">URIS</a> platform features one of the best implementations of tokenisation. The URIS Tokens offered by the platform allows investors to invest in startups of their choice directly and also gain higher liquidity for their investment by diversifying the investment.</p><p>Tokenisation also allows startups to raise funds by overcoming regulations regarding foreign investments and issuing of private shares.</p><p>Startup owners can accept funding regarding URIS tokens and also use the symbols to pay for freelance services that are offered from within the platform.</p><p><strong>Unified Display of Business Plan and Data</strong></p><p>Another great feature of the blockchain technology is decentralisation. Startups will be able to present their business plans and operational data within the blockchain platforms thus making it easier for investors to analyse the potential and efficiency of a business. Moreover, all the data will be highly secure and can easily be validated.</p><p>As all the operational data of the startup can be accessed in a single place, investors can also release funding based on the milestones achieved which makes scaling of funding easier for investors.</p><p><strong>Access to A Pool of Startups</strong></p><p>Instead of pitching to each investor, startups can make their business plans and operational data available to all potential investors thus increasing their chances of funding.</p><p>Moreover, investors can also get a detailed insight into a large number of startups across domains from all over the world and pick the ones that they seem valuable. Investors can also access the current trending business domains and make profitable investments as well.</p><p>Source: <a href="https://www.trustnodes.com/2018/12/13/press-release-uris-platform-launches-pre-ico-to-encourage-vc-investments-in-startups">trustnodes.com</a></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=c6fe0c5fe9cb" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Uris is a decentralized ecosystem.

Whitepaper is an all-new platform developed by this non-profit agency. It makes it easier for startups to access funds.

The organization serves the objective of offering new businesses good and cheap scopes of funding while helping investors find new options for supporting their new ventures and earning profitable returns.</p><p><strong>Core Vision</strong></p><p>Unleashing the power of business ownership by offering new business owners with the guidance, tools and funds required for turning their organizations into leading companies is the core principle at Uris. Leading the way towards a new economy that makes way for a sustainable and a better future for the new business ventures is also one of the core principles at Uris. <a href="https://ico.uris.io/?utm_source=cryptovibes">Uris</a> aims at seeing the first exits of early stage investments in new businesses and at the same time it also serves to create a highly-demanded ecosystem and token where the token is in demand and varied use.

The Uris ecosystem works on different components and layers that together make up a fully integrated architecture for supporting the operation of the ecosystem. It is also worth noting that the Uris platform is directly connected to blockchain technology which offers a plethora of advantages to the new ventures and investors.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nascent stage of developments is evidence to global accelerators providing a supportive ecosystem fueling businesses and startups. It is, therefore, a great practice for financially minded people to decode the right investing opportunities.</p><p>Unlike professionals, people who are new into the world of investing are often concerned about the security and returns of their investment, and this is indeed what keeps most people away from investing in businesses.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*xOLg2JVdzfQjxFCqYgJQSw.jpeg" /></figure><p>Today the presence of <a href="https://ico.uris.io/?utm_source=blockonomi">blockchain</a> technology has offered the greatest gift to unlock the collective power of an informal retail investment market.</p><p>Let’s take a look at the different ways how blockchain will help amateur investors in making profitable investment decisions.</p><h3>How Blockchain Will Help Amateur Investors</h3><h4><strong>A pool of Options to Choose from</strong></h4><p>As blockchain-backed platforms offer better funding opportunities, an increased number of businesses and startups will register in such platforms thus giving investors with a bigger pool of options to pick from, while choosing a business to invest.</p><p>Having many options while picking a business to invest in is helpful as investors will not feel forced while pulling business and can choose the one that interests them the most.</p><h4>Multiple Investment Opportunities</h4><p>Blockchain platforms offer tokens which can provide amateur investors with multiple highly-profitable investment opportunities.</p><p><a href="https://ico.uris.io/?utm_source=blockonomi">URIS</a> is one great example of such a platform. The URIS tokens can be bought and used to invest in businesses seeking funding within the platform. At the same time, URIS tokens are an investment by themselves, as URIS tokens will be invested by venture capitalists and professional investors in potential startups listed in the platform.</p><p>This, in turn, offers less experienced investors multiple opportunities to make a profit without doing much hard work.</p><h4>Opportunity to Invest in Local and Foreign Businesses</h4><p>There are lots of profitable businesses and startups being set up in emerging economies. However, it is often quite difficult for amateur investors to find and fund such overseas businesses.</p><p>As blockchain is an entirely decentralized technology, investors can buy tokens within a blockchain-backed investment platform and use it to fund businesses anywhere in the world. This helps as no additional fee has to be paid for foreign investments and investors do not have to worry about any geopolitical barriers as well.</p><h4>How Can Investors Help Build Better Blockchain Investment Platforms?</h4><p><a href="https://ico.uris.io/?utm_source=blockonomi">URIS</a> is one of the best blockchain-backed investment platforms out there and is continually trying to bring improvements in the features and interface of the platform to provide better functionality and experience to investors.</p><p>Investors can freely approach the team behind URIS and other blockchain-backed platforms and give them feedback on how valuable the platform is and how the platform can be improved to provide a better experience to targeted end users.</p><p>As both end users and developers work hand in hand, blockchain-backed investment platforms will surely be able to revolutionize how startups and businesses around the world raise funding and how investors improve and diversify their investments.</p><p>Published By: <a href="https://blockonomi.com/">https://blockonomi.com</a></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=68e4f1028b8a" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Funding is one of the most critical factors for any startup and something that cripple most startups right at their infancy.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/380/1*m6BW6LA6Bv72mGSChNlx3w.png" /></figure><p>Investors from developed nations are very much interested in making startup investments in emerging economies. However, there exists a lack of policies and other political barriers which prevent direct foreign investments in most of these emerging markets. Such policies very much limit the investment sources that startup owners have.</p><p>By making use of a blockchain-backed investment platform, it becomes easier for startup owners to connect with potential investors from anywhere in the world and also makes it easier for investors to make investments without going against any laws and regulations.</p><p>Understanding the potential blockchain has regarding funding for both startup owners and investors, new crypto funding platforms like URIS have been set up.</p><p>By making use of <a href="https://ico.uris.io/static_files/whitepaper.pdf/?utm_source=ccn">URIS</a> ICO tokens, it becomes easier for startups to accept funding from investment firms anywhere in the world. Moreover, investors who make use of URIS ICO tokens will also receive higher liquidity options for their investment.</p><h3>Transparency in Accounting</h3><p>One of the highlight features of blockchain is that it stores data in public ledgers. This helps startup businesses in making sure that all the accounting and operational data is secure and accessible to all the authorized stakeholders of the company.</p><p>As data stored in a public ledger is complicated to manipulate, it is also easier for investors and higher authorities to verify the data as well.</p><h3>Better Traceability</h3><p>The use of blockchain technology makes it quite easier to store and view transaction histories. This will help businesses in maintaining a record of products that they use, all the way from source till its final destination.</p><p>This, in turn, will help in detecting faulty or duplicate products and will also help in ensuring that only a fair price is charged on the products.</p><h3>Improved Security for User Data</h3><p>User data is very much important for almost every business in today’s time, however, user data is also really sensitive and any breach of private data of users can wildly damage the reputation of any startup.</p><p>Security threats are quite massive against user data and seen from recent cases, even tech giants like Facebook aren’t safe from hacking attempts on their user data.</p><p>As all the data within a blockchain network are encrypted and stored in decentralized locations, it becomes very easier and highly secure for businesses to store private user data.</p><p>Moreover, as users have complete control of the data, they can also choose the data they wish to share with the business and also make changes to the data whenever they need to.</p><h3>Quality Customer Support</h3><p>Customer support is essential for any startup, and that is how any business can get customers to come back in the future. However, helping customers with their issues is a time-consuming and costly effort.</p><p>By making use of blockchain-backed platforms, startups will be able to offer customer service tasks to freelancers by making use of Smart Contracts, which will remove the need of having a dedicated customer service team. Moreover, as data of all the previous customer queries and issues will be readily available, fast and efficient support can be offered to each customer as well.</p><p>About Blockchain-backed Platforms for Startups</p><p>Going forward, blockchain-backed platforms will help startups to gain initial funding easily and will also help them in streamlining their business process for maximum profit.</p><p>Platforms like URIS are trying to create a bridge between startups and investors with their ICO tokens. The URIS ICO tokens will help startups to accept both local and foreign investments easily and the tokens will also help investors diversify their investments as well.</p><p><strong>Media Contact:</strong><br>Emai id: <a href="/service/mailto:urisplatform@gmail.com">urisplatform@gmail.com</a><br>Website: <a href="http://pr.report/J0VS1Yxh">https://ico.uris.io/</a><br>TG Group: <a href="http://pr.report/hPpNZwuQ">https://t.me/urisplatform</a><br>Source: <a href="https://www.ccn.com/top-5-ways-how-blockchain-can-help-startups/">https://www.ccn.com/top-5-ways-how-blockchain-can-help-startups/</a></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=dd08240c889d" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even with recent reports suggesting that about 75% of all venture-backed businesses fail in making profits, venture capitalists are still quite picky while choosing a business to invest in.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/348/1*jnEws6abInVe2NnlVi1juw.jpeg" /></figure><p>This mainly has to do with the goals that venture capital investors have when picking a business for investment. VC firms usually invest millions of dollars in businesses with very-low to no liquidity in a hope that the long-term profit will at least be 5x or 10x the investment.</p><p>Most businesses either fail in meeting the expectations of such investors or are completely inaccessible due to fierce competition.</p><p>Introducing the blockchain technology can help make VC investments more accessible for most businesses and in this article, we will be taking a look into how the blockchain technology can help in improving the functioning of venture capital investment firms.</p><p><strong>Analyze Business Potential Easily</strong></p><p>As <a href="http://pr.report/D0kcMuXj">blockchain</a> has the capability to store and maintain current as well as historical data from all aspects of a business, investment firms can easily analyze the potential of the business ensuring higher and long-term investments.</p><p>Moreover, instead of pooling in a large sum of money into a business, the availability of business data will make it easier for investors to scale the investment as the business progresses.</p><p><strong>Transparency in Business Functions</strong></p><p>Blockchain will help in building a transparent environment where business owners and investors can participate in the working and also efficiently view all the transactions and other data related to the functioning of the business.</p><p>Moreover, as the data stored in the blockchain can easily be verified, investing firms can also implement automated milestone-based funding mechanisms where additional funds are released to the business automatically if certain milestone set by the investors is reached.</p><p><strong>Better Liquidity Options</strong></p><p>Liquidity is one of the main concerns for VC investment firms while picking a business to invest in. Most of the startup and small-scale industries have very-low to no liquidity options as their shares doesn’t worth much.</p><p>By making use of blockchain-backed platforms, investment firms can buy ICO tokens from within the platform and then make investments using these tokens.</p><p>Tokenization of investments generates better liquidity options, especially for startups and other businesses with little share value thus offering better security to the investors.</p><p>One prime example of such platforms is URIS, which is run by a non-profit organization formed by entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. The URIS platform makes it easier for investors to find profitable businesses and startups and easily invest in them using the URIS ICO tokens. The <a href="http://pr.report/3hnJGazi">URIS</a> ICO tokens also makes it easier for investors to diversify their investments and gain maximum liquidity for it as well.</p><p><strong>Overcome Geo-Political Barriers</strong></p><p>Many countries have several regulations regarding venture capital investments which highly restricts venture capital investment firms from investing in startups overseas. Even though VC firms in developed countries are very much interested in making business investments in emerging countries, they are restricted by these regulations.</p><p>As blockchain-backed investments are accessible from anywhere in the world, it will be much more comfortable for VC firms to find and approve funding for businesses with huge potential located anywhere in the world.</p><p><strong>Final Words</strong></p><p>The way VC funds work have remained pretty much unchanged for several decades now.</p><p>However, as <a href="http://pr.report/1tT48RhW">blockchain</a>-backed platforms bridge the gap between investors and business owners, we will surely see many more businesses securing VC funds than ever before.</p><p><strong>Media Contact:</strong></p><p>Name: Jorge Serrano<br>Emai id: <a href="/service/mailto:urisplatform@gmail.com">urisplatform@gmail.com</a><br>Website: <a href="http://pr.report/J0VS1Yxh">https://ico.uris.io/</a><br>TG Group: <a href="http://pr.report/hPpNZwuQ">https://t.me/urisplatform</a><br>Published by: <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/">http://www.digitaljournal.com</a></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=6824edcd2a48" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
