Hi everyone! Just added BTRIC ICO to my website https://concourseq.io/Q/Btric. ConcourseQ is a collaborative due diligence community that researches and reviews ICOs. Anyone with an account can submit information to your page, so we are reaching out to this community to get you all involved in the discussion. Thanks! PS: If you have any questions about filling in the info, feel free to ask us in our discord group: https://discord.gg/j8RBAwB
added to my watchlist! 
it seems that this project will be one of the most successful projects in the future, because after I read it, I started to like the concept, and it could be if there is an ICO, maybe this would be a successful ICO
Thank you! We are really focused on doing great things and will have some other partnerships and announcements to make in the coming days. All of our projects that complete the incubation phase, we're going to give them all the support they need to be outstanding ICO/ITO offers (or whatever other method they choose to raise capital). Some quality is needed in the ecosystem and we're going to use existing best-practices, contribute to improving them, and work hard to share this with all of the community. We want everyone to benefit from the paradigm shift we're just at the very, very beginning of.
We're putting together a great team of professionals that really want to make a difference in the field. 2018 is going to be a great year for BTRIC, cryptocurrency, and the whole emerging technology community.
Best regards,
Ben
Only 500,000 tokens, why so few?
The main reason we are focused on a fundraising target of $500,000 is because that's what we budget we'll need (and a prudent reserve) to get us through calendar year 2018 and focus on our mission. We do not want to try to raise more than we need. We accept donations at any time, of course, but we are limiting our BTRIC Founding Donor fundraising campaign to 500,000 tokens. Only those donors that participate in this campaign will be able to be recognized as BFD's (on our website if they choose as a Founding Donor). Check out our white paper for more details on that.
One of the challenges where we we're focusing on making a difference is in increasing the quality of projects that emerge as investment offerings. We've all seen too many ICO/ITOs that either cut/pasted their white paper or ran off with the money. The projects that we incubate will be put together like top-shelf businesses during our incubation program.

This is quite ambitious. The goal to upend violent and brutal power structures is a noble one, but also risks dissolving nation-states and modern countries as we know them. It will happen eventually and blockchain technology is just one piece of that equation. I will watch this project.
Thank you! It's not all going to happen at once, but you're right, it will happen eventually. The end of nations is not our objective, but we do want them to be more fair, more open, more honest, and promote businesses and projects that can (and are) fundamentally change society.
BTRIC's mission is to focus on specific projects as an incubator and then, when they're ready, to launch them as separate businesses. At the same time, as a non-profit, we can focus on advocacy and other initiatives that really can advance the ecosystem as a whole.
Have a great day!

What is BTRIC and what does it do?
BTRIC is short for Blockchain Technology Research Innovations Corporation. We're a 501(c)(3) economic development organization. Our mission is to build promising emerging technology projects into great startup businesses, through business incubation and acceleration, and to advocate, educate, and research about the benefits that emerging technology is bringing to humanity.
As a non-profit, we do not have investors—we have donors. However, like other non-profit economic development organizations, our donors are uniquely positioned to become investors in the businesses that launch from our Innovations Incubator program. Of course, the rules about investing are complicated and in a state of flux, but as each project launches as an independent business, they will reward their donors in some form (legally compliant based on their business model and the jurisdiction in which they choose to form their business). This provides tangible benefits to our donors.
In addition, as a non-profit, we are uniquely positioned to provide our BTRIC Institute and BTRIC Labs programs that benefit the entire emerging technology ecosystem. BTRIC has been awarded the GuideStar Platinum Transparency Seal, the highest recognition that GuideStar offers, demonstrating our commitment to operational and financial transparency.
Contributions to BTRIC – monetary, asset, and in-kind – may be tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Consult with a qualified tax advisor for more information.

BTRIC’s Innovations Incubator program is a project incubator and startup accelerator for emerging technology businesses. We identify projects with great potential and transform them into businesses which we help launch. By promoting best practices, focusing on delivery of the project, and handling administration so projects can focus on ideas, we create better businesses, one at a time.
Donations from people, businesses, organizations, and grants financially support projects while they’re in the program. When they launch, they are divested from BTRIC into independent business entities. All projects in the program commit to providing contributors with rewards once they’ve launched as businesses.
The first three projects in our Innovations Incubator program are code named as follows:
We will be developing an application and review process to admit new projects into our Innovations Incubator program during the second and third quarters of 2018. If you're interested today, go ahead and fill out our contact form and we'll be in touch.

BTRIC Institute is our advocacy, education, and policy development initiative. Working across the emerging technology industry, it is important for common ground in the areas of standards, policies, and regulatory flexibility be developed and maintained. There exist volumes of great concepts that don’t get as wide of an audience as they deserve. At the same time, there is a need to develop and promote best-practices for organizations in the industry, as well as develop and implement educational programs that help the ecosystem as a whole.
BTRIC Institute, through teamwork and collaboration with other organizations, plays a role in meeting this important need.
[Learn more about BTRIC Institute: ON OUR WEBSITE ▬ FAQ]
BTRIC Labs focuses on conducting technology research and development that is not specific to any given project in our Innovations Incubator program. The work done by BTRIC Labs could have applications in multiple projects or in the emerging technology industry as a whole. By conducting “blue sky” research, we work to advance the leading edge of emerging technology.
Through BTRIC Labs our employees are also encouraged to contribute to open source projects of their choosing. We believe it is vitally important to contribute to the projects that underpin much of the emerging technology ecosystem.
BTRIC Labs also provides offers to provide, on a cost recovery basis, support to carefully selected emerging technology projects that have a need for infrastructure or systems that are operated independently of their project.

Our Launch Fundraising Campaign is open now through March 31, 2018. This is your only chance to obtain BFD Tokens directly from BTRIC and be a BTRIC Founding Donor.
BTRIC’s mission is to work with great projects and transform them into awesome businesses through our Innovations Incubator program. Once they’re ready, we launch them as separate entities, ready for investment and primed for growth.
We also focus on industry-wide advocacy, educational, and research efforts to promote best-practices and smart approaches to changing the world through decentralization and other emerging technologies.
BTRIC Founding Donors receive BFD Tokens, which are Ethereum ERC20 tokens. Holders of BFD Tokens will be rewarded by every project that completes our Innovations Incubator program. Now, strictly speaking, you shouldn’t consider BFD Tokens to be an investment (as that has specific legal meaning), but when projects are launched as businesses they will provide rewards to all those that then hold BFD Tokens. Each business launch will specify the rewards that are given for that business (which is subject to applicable legal and regulatory requirements). These could include:
BFD Token holders will also receive a grant of “BTRIC Coin” cryptocurrency or token when it is issued.
BTRIC Founding Donors can choose to be permanently recognized on our website and in our materials as a Founding Donor. (This is optional, we won’t list your name/business name, website, logo, and URL unless you give us permission!)

The first three projects in our Innovations Incubator program are code named as follows:
- Bitcoin for Good: This project is creating a platform enabling donations to be made to any recognized charity. With an "Amazon Smile"-like experience and integrations for major shopping cart platforms and that will be marketed to major online retailers, donations to the charities will be paid in Bitcoin. This increases the adoption of crypto assets as well as provides financial support to charitable organizations. This business will launch in the second or third quarter of 2018. [Learn more about Bitcoin for Good...]
- Cryptocurrency Federal Credit Union: This project is exploring the possibility of creating a U.S.-based Federal Credit Union that specializes in accounts for cryptocurrency users and businesses. The first step is to conduct a statistically-valid survey of the proposed national scope of membership (crypto users and businesses). If the survey is successful, then the work to prepare an application for a Federal Credit Union charter will be undertaken. If chartered, this credit union will help cryptocurrency users and businesses as they face ever-increasing challenges with the legacy banking and financial services industry. [Learn more about Cryptocurrency Federal Credit Union...]
- Sea to Table: Utilizing a special purpose blockchain and IoT technology, this project will create a tracability system that will trace seafood, which is highly subject to fraud and misrepresentations, from the point of capture, farming, or import through to the point of sale. In the United States, Federal regulations will mandate the use of seafood tracibility systems to reduce IUU (Illegal, Unreported, and Unmonitored) fishing and seafood fraud. This business will launch in early 2019 with a product ready for fishermen, seafood importers, and fisheries management bodies. [Learn more about Sea to Table...]

- Women and Diversity: It is important to promote greater diversity, including participation by women, both in emerging technology projects as well as end users.
- Effective Advocacy: Working with other organizations, we focus on developing and advocating common-sense, light-touch regulatory frameworks that enhance—not stifle—innovation.
- Reference Repository: We host a reference library of materials, both current and historical, to ensure that the records of the rapidly evolving emerging technology industry are quickly and easily accessible.
- Open Frameworks: We collaborate across the emerging technology industry to develop open frameworks for best-practices security, KYC/AML/CFT policies, crypto asset evaluation criteria, and others.
- Educational Outreach: We develop educational materials that are freely available to all. We use them to conduct educational outreach to ensure that the public, policymakers, and business leaders understand our industry and the ways that it is reshaping society.
- Best-practices Standards: We work with legal advisors and other experts to develop open standards that can be used by the community for business formation and management, governance, project management, and other standards.
BTRIC Institute, through teamwork and collaboration with other organizations, plays a role in meeting this important need.
