Post ICO: The Future Of Venture Capital
summary
Panelists compare real steps VCs are taking after ICOs: creating token-focused vehicles like Blue Ball Capital (JV with Kobe partners), doing both equity and token deals, and setting fund rules (7-year life, position caps ~10–50%). Examples: investments in Mate, Diem, Codex, Sala and Tracksia (invoice-tokenization) and Sora foundation partnerships. Practical fixes include voluntary lockup smart contract rewards, token + equity term‑sheet clauses, and building accounting and governance tooling for liquidity and compliance.
