Strengths
- The team members have relevant and diverse experience, networks and endorsements to implement the planned project
- Team members commitment to the project was easy to verify
- Very innovative and uniqur service concept of providing advertisement space arrangements to the virtual layer of the augmented reality world
- The targeted sector has very little competition so far so a strong first mover advantage can still be built
- The service can be scaled up in the digital realm when the utilization of AR becomes more popular
- The soft cap of 2746 ETH is very reasonable
- The vesting times for team tokens increase investor confidence to the team commitment
- The project materials are professionally prepared
- A lot of source code materials available in GitHub
- Community building has started off well with thousands of members in the most popular channels
Potential concerns
- The service does not provide a solution to a topical problem but is solving an issue that will become topical only in the near future
- It might be challenging to evaluate which players will be the first big customers that the team needs to partner with and will the turnover for the first 5 years be enough to allow a solid financial foundation to evolve
- The token does not necessarily improve the end users experience, even though the solution generates more opportunities for developers to monetize augmented reality and build new consumer products
- The maximum total initial valuation of 337 500 ETH, depending on the ICO demand and the ETH-USD rate equals to $100M - $500M, which is quite massive for an unpublished project
