ICO Crowdsale for Impact Accelerator, is a unique virtual accelerator for impact startups to leverage blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies to create innovative high growth applications, innovate on their business models and to facilitate alternative capital fundraising on the blockchain through the use of crowdsales using Tokens (Smart Contracts). This program is addressing the needs of those impact startups who want overcome the scale-gap and lack of access finance to scale their ventures.

Prohaus Group is an alternative investment firm supporting fintech and impact founders and investors with financial tools and capital support to help foster meaningful relationships and sustainable growth.
$1.3 billion has been raised with Initial Coin Offering (ICO) token crowdsales and have outpaced early stage venture capital so far in 2017. A recent study by Startup Genome found that 74% of high growth startups fail due to scaling prematurely. This percentage is even higher in the case of impact startups. Most entrepreneurs see venture capital as the holy grail of funding solutions, but fewer than 1% of U.S. startups ever raise a VC round.
The method of using crowdsale tokens to fundraise is perfectly aligned with the mission and purpose of impact startups and their potential to close the financial gaps with social returns across economies and communities. Participating impact startups will be given the education, tools, guidance, and have the opportunity to prepare and launch their own compliant token crowdsale. This is an opportunity to learn from blockchain and cryptocurrency experts, programs participants are fully supported by Beyond Capital Markets partners and mentors. Each token project will be available for investors and early backers to see where they can show support by giving feedback or buying pre-sale tokens.
