Project Outline and Objectives
Access to venture capital is extremely tough even for the most robust and experienced of business owners. Combining this with being from a developing country and the chances of receiving such funding are almost none. Uris hopes to be the catalyst for change in this regard.
With a particular focus on emerging markets and through harnessing the power of blockchain technology, Uris hopes to provide this innovative VC platform to all aspiring business owners. The platform itself will contain all of the professional tools required to assist businesses in charting their future course and reaching their funding goals.
Through the power of blockchain, the channels within the VC sector will be made wholly more accessible through the Uris platform. Not only that, the entire process will have complete security and transparency embedded thanks to the blockchain and smart contracts.
URIS Platform
Uris will create three platforms, all of which are supported mainly by the ERC20-based ecosystem:
- URIS Crowdfunding platform
- URIS Freelance platform
- URIS Exchange platform
Each platform offers all the familiar features and benefits of its colleagues. However, users of each platform can interact through interacting actions and instant messaging.
The Platform Key Features:
- First automated startup investor: URIS will give the seed capital that will help professionals leverage and multiply their effect of channelling big money into startups.
- Buyback Program: The Uris tokens’ unique benefit sets them beyond any other cryptocurrency available on the market today. No other similar platform guarantees the buyback of the coin. A token buyback is the re-acquisition by a company of its native token. It offers a more flexible way (compared to dividends) of liquidating assets to investors. The Uris Exchange platform will generate a constant demand for Uris coins and a continual flow of transactions between parties that will sustain the value of the currency.
- Custom smart contracts: The Uris crowdfunding platform offers various types of smart contracts to meet every investor need. Investors will have the choice of creating their personalized smart contracts and have the power to make the rules before investing.
