Tim Draper shocked the world by    announcing he will partake in such an ICO soon. It now appears    Boost VC will be following his example from this moment    forward. The company announced they will directly invest in    ICOs in the future. This change will help the company to keep    tabs on innovative cryptocurrency projects.  <\/p>\n<p>    It is somewhat surprising to learn Boost VC is taking    this route. The company is known for investing in    cryptocurrency startups through traditional funding. Going    after initial Coin Offerings appears to be a rather risky    decision. A lot of these projects may not be successful in the    long run, putting investors money at stake. Then again, even    entities such as Boost VC have to take risks now and    then.  <\/p>\n<p>    It is true ICOs    are being used frequently to fund startup development    these days. Although many people assumed these offerings would    be a threat to institutional investors, that has not been the    case. In fact, it appears these investors have been quite happy    about the way things are going. There are only so many startups    to invest in through traditional means. Initial Coin Offerings    often raise millions of dollars in quick succession. More    importantly, they do so in a decentralized manner.  <\/p>\n<p>    Boost VC wants to keep tabs on talent developers to build    the next protocols of the Internet. A lot of those developers    may be linked to cryptocurrency ICOs right now. Any company    building low-level protocols to create a decentralized internet    are of great interest to Boost VC right now. Moreover, Boost VC    is a fan of projects looking to build less volatile    cryptocurrencies. Unfortunately, volatility is still a big part    of cryptocurrency right now.  <\/p>\n<p>    As one would expect, the company will make a small    financial contribution to ICOs. Projects can receive between    US$25,000 and US$100,000, depending on what they are building    exactly. Moreover, this funds will be used as a way to create    an eventual token sale in the future. This does mean project    developers will have to produce working code once they attract    the companys attention. This is quite an intriguing    development, to say the least.  <\/p>\n<p>    It is not surprising to see Boost VC takes this course of    action. Notorious Bitcoin investor Tim    Draper recently unveiled he will partake in an    upcoming ICO. It is evident institutionalized investors are    trying to be part of the next big thing. That also means they    will need to take slightly bigger risks. Investing in an ICO is    a great way to diversify, but it also increases the chances of    yielding a negative return on investment.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Read the original post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/2017\/05\/16\/boost-vc-will-follow-tim-drapers-lead-directly-invest-cryptocurrency-icos\/\" title=\"Boost VC Will Follow Tim Draper's Lead And Directly Invest In ... - newsBTC\">Boost VC Will Follow Tim Draper's Lead And Directly Invest In ... - newsBTC<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> It is not surprising to see Boost VC takes this course of action.
