Course Description

Looking for the investment? Planning to organize an ICO/STO? Want to learn how to Launch an Initial Coin Offering or Security Token Offering? Thinking of how to issue Tokens, develop Smart Contracts, register a Company, set KYC/AML, promote ICO campaign & collect finds? This Course will help you organize your ICO from A to Z.

74 lessons, 3,5 hours content & additional materials will help you launch a successful ICO.

ICO (Initial coin/token offering) is a new crowdfunding mechanism for startups, allowing projects at an early stage to collect the necessary funds in a short period of time.

Today, ICO is Low-Cost Growth Funding and it is the most convenient tool for attracting investments, including due to the lack of legal regulation and supervision.

ICO is not just money. In addition to development funds, the young company receives a community of loyal users who can test new products and support the project in the market.

But despite the apparent simplicity, a successful ICO is a complex process, which must be carefully prepared.

During the course, you will learn what is ICO, how to prepare, launch, and promote ICO, understand the specifics of smart contracts and types of digital tokens, get acquainted with technical tools for releasing tokens, and learn how to place tokens on crypto-exchange exchanges and how to collect funds and raise capital.

This was a really good course with tons of useful information. I wish there was more details in the legalities of starting an ICO though (however I understand that this is a course within itself). At times it was hard to understand the speakers and I could tell he was reading it from a cue card. However - leaving the style aside, it comes with a useful checklist and I picked up loads of things I would have never have been able to find out hadn't I done the course. Even though it was monotonous at times, the course is still essential for anybody preparing for an ICO. Kind Regards
