Iconomi is another brainchild of the Blockchain that is making waves in the community and changing the face of investments by using initial coin offering as a method for raising capital.  

Cointelegraph spoke to Jani Valjavec, co-founder of Iconomi, about how they are leveraging Blockchain DAOs to disrupt the financial industry.

Cointelegraph: What Iconomi is about?

Jani Valjavec: Iconomi is the first global fund management platform for the decentralised economy. In 2017, we will launch a platform where anyone can be a professional fund manager. With no real need for middlemen, Iconomi as a vehicle will allow people to invest in cryptoassets and decentralised-economy startups with fiat money. More so, Before the end of 2016 we will introduce our two crypto-based investment funds. Funds will minimise the volatility, simplify the investment process and offload the burden of research due its diligence to investment professionals with a proven track record.

Final amounts of ICN tokens now available in your accounts, ICN genesis postponed for 48 hours waiting for stabilisation of Ethereum network!

	We have now completed the recalculation of shares in the form of ICN tokens. ICONOMI collected investments in 5 currencies: 3 cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ether, Lisk) and 2 fiat currencies (EUR, USD). To finalise the investors’ share of ICN tokens, the 85 million ICN tokens were distributed based on the amount of funds raised. You can see your final ICN token amount by logging into the ICONOMI website. More on ICN distribution calculation on our blog.
	Due to the current instability of the Ethereum network and its unpredictable consequences, including many users' wallets out of sync, ICONOMI has decided to postpone planned ICN token genesis and distribution. ICN tokens are based on the Ethereum platform, therefore in order to protect our investors, and to assure rightfulness and equal opportunities to access ICN tokens immediately after launch, ICONOMI decided to postpone genesis and distribution for at least 48 hours. More on the ICN genesis on our blog.
	Best wishes, The ICONOMI team

ICONOMI - the first global fund management platform starts its crowdfunding campaign (ICO - Initial Coin Offering) on August 25

ICONOMI is the first fund management platform for the decentralised economy. It provides an opportunity for investors looking for high profits, not possible in the old economy. With newly developed financial instruments, ICONOMI will drive new investors and fresh capital into the decentralised economy. In the first few months after a successful ICO, ICONOMI will introduce the first two funds in the decentralised economy. ICO starts on Thursday, August 25 2016.

The decentralised economy based on the blockchain technology is on the rise. As the number of cryptocurrencies is growing at an unprecedented rate, so are the successful companies whose shares are issued in the form of APP tokens. By the end of 2016, we expect there to at least 100 such newly-born enterprises, and in the coming year of 2017 the number of companies that compete with these already established online platforms, projects and business models will increase to the number to 1000 and more. In many cases, they represent an opportunity to invest in highly promising companies at an early stage, when yields are the highest. Unfortunately the procedures for investing are quite complex and therefore these opportunities are actually available to only a few highly skilled professionals that are versed in the latest technologies. ICONOMI wants to solve all the barriers to first-time investors in the decentralised economy and become a major player in the global investment market.
