"Investx has brought in Holo Director David Atkinson as an advisor, as it prepares to launch its ethical ICO. Their efforts to establish and follow a set of ethical principles should bring a welcome breath of fresh air into the toxic ICO arena."

The platform, an investment community backed by smart contracts and their own exchange, although too early for an MVP, look very well planned as shown in the whitepaper. If they can deliver as projected, it has good chances of being a good successful product.
Overall, it looks like a promising and quite unique platform.

Dave Hewitt – Co-Founder/CTO.  Since 2013 has been Partner at Equal Experts, who provide tailored, end-to-end services in software development and delivery, and have 10 offices throughout the world with between 500 and 1,000 employees

Verdict
STOs can and most likely will cause a major disruption in the current ways small/medium equity businesses operate. Investx is positioning themselves to be the front-runners in opening this brand new market for investors.  The Investx platform allows crypto investors and holders to purchase shares in stable businesses, be paid any dividends and sell their shares all without using fiat on/off ramps.

Risks
    Standard Ethereum platform risks. -1
    Their pre-sale starts Nov 1, but they have not started marketing at all yet. Telegram has only 50 members so far. -1
    In order to become an investor, holders must create a platform account and pass KYC checks. This most likely leaves USA, China, and possibly even Korea citizens from being able to invest in new projects on their platform. -1.5
    Regulation concerns: they have yet to become authorized and regulated by the FCA.  the goal is for the platform to launch its first business listing on May 2019, and then they will work on launching a secondary market once they get FCA approval. -1
    Major exchanges are afraid to list security tokens. Although INX token is utility, exchanges most likely won’t take the risk. -1

Growth Potential
    A brand new way for SMEs to raise funds! +2
    The team is full of value. +3
    Perhaps the most professional whitepaper I’ve ever reviewed. They even made a separate 19 page Currency paper, that gets into every detail of their Tokenomics. +3
    They have an elaborate game plan to become authorized and regulated by the FCA. According to the roadmap, the platform will be ready and listing the first businesses in May 2019. +2
    From the whitepaper: “We are opening up a currently inaccessible asset class at discounted costs. Our focus on stable, growing businesses means greater opportunities for immediate and stable long-term returns.” +2

Disposition
This is basically Ethereum for SME STOs. It has the potential to be massive. Lots of bleeding-edge risks though. 6.5/10

Investment Details
    Symbol: INX
    Blockchain: Ethereum
    Total Supply: 34,375,000 INX
    Presale: Nov 1 – Jan 7  (5% bonus)
    Crowdsale: Jan 15- Feb 28
    Price: GBP 0.80

This is a good grade on this project.

You've probably heard of Holo / Holochain - we got a great write up including quotes on their blog today about being the inspiration behind our ethical ICO:

A tokenomics model we're very proud of:

"Developed by finance, business, mathematics, trading and economics experts, and inspired and developed alongside David Atkinson of Holo we present a summary of how INX token value links to underlying business success, retains real-world purchasing power when the INX token price increases and our dynamic supply creates long-term stable but appreciating token value without reliance on crypto market sentiment."

The problem analysis is detailed and looks good. The platform, an investment community backed by smart contracts and their own exchange. Smart contracts really can solve the problems in such cases.

Hi EgyKing, the impact on the target of the investment is huge. Right now they can't raise funds via equity without legal, due diligence and corporate finance costs and this is what we're reducing right down.

Perversely, start-ups get an easier ride raising equity, because there are plenty of platforms out there serving them, with mad valuations based on hockey-stick forecasts. Our focus is not on start-ups but on businesses with financial track records - which are the vast majority, and full of really attractive investment opportunities.

The Investx platform will revolutionize access and investment costs, making it affordable and useful. this means reducing costs so that it doesn't cost a lot, but does this have no negative impact on the target of the investment?

It was written in detail and likable.
The steady progress of the plan turns into trust.
People will gather if trust is born.
I expect that it will become bigger in the future.

Investx got listed on ICO Bench  



We're missing a video explainer (in progress!) to bump the score higher.
