SME Lending
Besides venture investment (equity
financing), the option for lending (debt
financing) would allow companies to
raise money without losing equity,
and allow investors to lend money to
earn interest instead of equity.
The addressable market of SME
lending is worth $284 billion*

The "incentive system" is
designed to compel users to
contribute data in many ways
(evaluate, vote, interact, etc.) in
order to satisfy their own needs
and get rewarded in many ways.
E.g. the more trustworthy people
you can rate and add to your
Trust Circle, the more accurate
evaluation & rankings you see.
INCENTIVE SYSTEM
23. 23
E.g. If you evaluate and predict the
funding outcome of a company
correctly before its funding deadline,
you get rewarded with money.
E.g. The first person who publishes
a deck will become that deck's
"Hunter" and get a share of all pot
money won in that deck for a fixed
amount of time.
