Are you seriously? 3500 Bitcoin minimum amount?
Here's some real talk, 6 new hires at 30k- 50k yearly salary averaged is 240,000 annual cost. Company costs with legal fees we have refined down to 12k. Marketing costs per business 35k. Then add in our core team salaries and you are looking at around 520k for year one.
Even though we didn't budget a team lambo, you can see quite quickly how allowing the public investment returns on our work for less, would be literally doing you all and our team a disservice. I'd rather our team is properly funded to make good on our time lines for investors than make broken promises. Real things take real funds it's just that simple.
Good luck getting the minimum 3500 BTC. That's a hige difference from the original 50 BTC minimum. And long shot from the so far 29 BTC collected with a month left in the ICO.
Recently finished ICOs Komodo managed about 2600 BTC & Incent around 1100 BTC.
If the amount isn't reached then there's no risk to investors or us. If 3500+ is met then people grab a large share in mainstream global revenue from our businesses.
I think it's very important to understand something that we are doing with Janus. Take almost any project on this forum and throw out the majority of what stops them from success.
1. There is no tech adoption needed for Janus to succeed.
2. We are using a micro framework already coded to launch each business site.
3. We are not a newly formed team who doesn't have the experience of working together for years in all climates of stress.
4. We've launched businesses together before with a proven history of success.
5. We are not targeting the tiny crypto market, and selected specific business industry where 2-4 million in net profit a year is considered a small business.
I'm not sure what more people need at this point to make a better decision. The one thing we didn't do was contact large bitcoin holders in advance and coordinate huge deposits from the start. We have been ultra transparent with everyone and very realistic without yelling moon or claiming you're getting rich in a month.
If this token sale gets the funds we need to properly roll out the coordinated site launches, we will work our butts off to make everyone who believed in the Janus team very excited they took part.
