Please don't take ICO route for two reasons. First, ICO is dead. People don't prefer to buy coins from ICO anymore so the chance is very high that your coins will remains unsold. Secondly, the use case is not something to interest a common people. If you are building an aircraft, your target customers will be the wealthiest 5% of the world, not a common people. Also in this field, the competition is huge where we already have big companies like Airbus, Boeing, Dassault etc. which years and years of experience. So it's very unlikely for your startup to remain in business due to such steep competition. So the chance of failure is quite high. Personally I wouldn't invest on your idea.
If you have planned to set up an ecommerce store, that would have been a different story. I think you better go to angel investors or VCs. ICO wouldn't help you at all.
Hi thanks for your answering. In fact, our focus is on making it possible for the general public to fly, not just the 5% of the population. We have considered many capabilities in this project. Among these features, I can mention the autopilot, which makes flying easier. In addition to these capabilities, we have worked on ways to reduce production costs. Reducing production costs leads to low-cost aircraft, making it possible for at least 70% of people to purchase aircraft. It is necessary to mention here that we do not reduce the quality of the parts in any way. So we focus on producing high quality, low cost aircraft. On the other hand, these private planes will have a capacity of 4 or 8 people. This limited capacity leads to the production of low-cost aircraft.
Also thanks for sharing your opinion about angel investors or VCs ,I will think about them.
This project is worth a billion dollars fund to contract manufacturing factory for aircraft. There's no way an ICO can possibly fulfill your financial needs even though you're claiming that you will build a low cost project since your success depends on your output profitability. In business perspective, No one will gonna invest on this kind of idea because its a too good to be true to become a sustainable business.
Why not focus on aircraft designing rather than manufacturing which requires tons of funds to make it feasible?
Hello, thank you for sharing your opinion. In fact, we started by focusing on the production of aircraft parts. But once we were confident in our design ability, we realized that we could design a complete aircraft. We also worked on an advanced autopilot. When we were working on the autopilot, we realized that it would be better to use this autopilot on a modified aircraft. So we worked on designing a new aircraft. On the other hand, in addition to this design, we also estimated the cost of the design. The fund of this project is not a billion dollars. In fact, the project will fund less than $ 50 million.
Why did people start to think of cryptocurrencies funding ( ICO as a model) as shares that are printed to finance a specific company or activity?
When the ICO appeared, its main purpose was to help the project owners to promote that project in exchange for giving a share of the project to those who help.
That share is distributed through smart contracts and ensures a decentralized distribution of coins.
What you are trying to present here is a model of shares for a specific economic activity, but they are illegal shares and need to be audited, and therefore they are high risk and may not have value.
Continuing with such activities will classify your project as a scam.
Hello. Thanks for sharing your opinion. I think I did not explain well. Because we do not intend to do anything illegal. And in similar projects, this method has been used for financing. But thanks for your comment, I think we should add a lawyer to the startup team.
