As an early internet entrepreneur, I saw the huge and far-reaching impact it had on so many facets of daily life. I see the same promise with the blockchain and cryptocurrency. We’re at the start of a really exciting new innovation that I think will change everything, from the way we bank to the way we invest and beyond.

Gregory Keough

Founder and Chairman, Institute for Blockchain Innovation

The market is learning that many ICOs are the modern-day equivalent of a failing company adding a dot com to their name. JCO represents something real in the blockchain/crypto space that will be a big contributor to broadening the blockchain economy by making it accessible and inclusive.

Co-Founder and Managing Partner Ausum Ventures

Technologies always take longer than we think to change the world but they always do so in more profound and pervasive ways then we could have ever imagined. This too will be the case with blockchain, cryptocurrencies & digital assets!

Genevieve Roch-Decter

CEO of Grit Capital

My passion has long been focused on "financial services for the rest of us,” so being on the front lines with the IBI and supporting the development of financial innovation like the JCO is incredibly exciting. With the blockchain, we can truly reach billions of people who have been abandoned by the traditional financial and investment systems.

The JOBS Crypto Offering (JCO) aims to be the model framework that will bring blockchain based token sales and digital currencies to people in a transparent, legal and credible way. Its remarkable that the blockchain community is coming together through the IBI to openly help others navigate through the ever evolving crypto landscape.

Danny Rukhman

Blockchain Enthusiast & Investor

The impending wave of traditional asset tokenization represents a significant change in the way financial securities are issued and traded.  Equity securities are a major component of this thesis.  IBI’s initiative to open source the legal docs around this process will reduce cost and friction for issuers and help to usher in this new era.

Stephen McKeon

Associate Professor of Finance, University of Oregon

We're watching the world of cryptocurrency mature into the world of traditional finance. The regulatory frameworks provide the bridge to making it a reality. The IBI think tank will provide the regulatory tools and guidelines to enable modern businesses and governments to ease their transition into the cryptocurrency revolution.

Mason Borda

CEO Tokensoft

We’ve seen crowdfunding and ICO trying to forge a new path to capital raising, but both have run into issues. The hybrid model of the JOBS Crypto Offering looks to solve those issues by creating a path to liquidity on the blockchain in compliance with SEC regulations.

Blockchain is an opportunity for us to finally democratise technology. The potential to build solutions that could help alleviate the "curse of an empty purse" is an exciting opportunity for the sector. Blockchain will help us offer the poorest an integrated identity and create an sustainable pathway of prosperity to finally deal with poverty in a substantive manner. On our journey to accomplish SDGs, this is the technology that promises to accelerate progress and offer hope to billions of under served people across the globe.
