Hi my friend,

Since I know a bit more about the nature of the project, I doubt that a STO is really the best solution to rise funds. 

A lot of people are marked by ICO's and other doubtful projects and I honestly doubt that you could rise sufficient funds over a STO.

I think that the comment of @apshamilton is quite accurate. Why not create shares directly over the traditional channels? Maybe it would at a later stage be possible to tokenize these shares and  sell them to rise money. 

Check out this company website that offers such services in switzerland: https://www.sygnum.com/services/tokenization/

Best regards,
Achim

Thanks for the invite to this discussion. Sadly I'm not qualified to give an answer as I'm not technical enough...

I have resteemed the post but I am clueless to find the most suitable platform to launch an STO. It is always better to work with the established platforms but it is the most suitable to launch  a new platform free of vices and limitations related to an established platform.

I think you have to ask a basic question first. Why issue a Security Token rather than just selling shares in your company? Unless there is a specific exemption under Swiss law, the rules are going to be the same, so what is the advantage of a token?

Greetings @crypto.Piotr i regret what happened. However, I am sure that will continue. I can not recommend any other platform, I am not an expert in the field, and I regret not being able to help. Greeting.

A bit busy but I saved this for later I know a few platforms polymath comes to mind that was one of the most interesting and rewarding airdrops I participated in but than again I unfortunately did not get into crypto as early as I would have liked , The blockchain is one of the forces behind the technological revolution that is coming upon us that will make the industrial revolution look like a joke , actually considering writing about this topic for a blog post :) thanks for being a positive influence

Hello @crypto.piotr

I understand that after the 2k17 Ico craze there is a lot of dead projects left and angry investors which sure are done with ICO or STOs. 
I from my experience am interested in projects with vision for the future needs and do not believe in shot term success. I think a lot of good projects have now problems with investors who want the 10 or 100x but thats not what i am in for. I am looking for years to come when these projects will proof by their tech.

I have no experience with STO platforms and really do not know what is important for you so it difficult to say which but i am a big fan of the Cardano project due to the scientific background and think they will be a good blockchain when they are some day ready. Right now most are on Ethereum i think but this will change.

The platform you choose should fit for the needs of the project ...
I am exited to see what will be and wish you much success.

Greetings, 
Blockchainnerd

The stability and security of a cryptocurrency will always be its credibility, eliminating this cryptocurrency risk should take the best of traditional modennes, for this there must be global regulations that involve stability

As always :) i read this article you suggested me ... but this time it was too professional and too far out of my profession and expertise ... although was interesting... and there is not a shadow of regret for reading it :D I really, most sincerely don't know what to say or advice you... maybe just some  new age cliche, like be  patient and positive ... and throw your mind and spirit into a meditation or two if you can find the time. :) Hope, you don't mind the frivolous tone, It came naturally in the lack of serious thoughts and arguments about the topic ... I wish you all the best with the project ... and life in general.

interesting it will to think about

You asked me to comment so I will. @apshamilton is pretty much on the money though, what does tokenisation give you that other more established ways of sharing ownership of an asset do not? If the only thing is regulatory confusion, I'm not sure you gain.

We're on the cusp of tokens becoming commonplace and those of us comfortable with Steem have seen how this can be made to happen. However everything I've seen with EC20 is a complete UI mess so we're not there yet. The way that @jpbliberty is handing out SUFB tokens is working quite nicely and I'm helping onboard crypto newbies to "hold" their own tokens. That's quite easy with Steem and Steem-Engine.

While it can be done, however, the damage that has been done by a few scammers and then these instruments being declared untrustworthy by the tech Goliaths and then the press for the last 2 years has been immeasurable.

@crypto.piotr, Great to know that you are coming up with the **STO**. Genuinely speaking i am not an expert in this space but I've resteemed it and tried my point percentage effort towards some more visibility to this blog.

Hope that you will going to receive all needed feedback and responses which will help you. Stay blessed brother.

Hi @crypto.piotr,

One of the things that you left out was what the company would be about.

I am mainly focused on #steem but I might be able to offer you some ideas if you give me more information.

<hr>

One idea is to contact @aggroed, since as you probably know, he is the founder of [Steem-Engine.com](https://steem-engine.com) and he plans on making it a full fledged crypto exchange with plenty of non-Steem Cryptos like EOS tokens listed.

In addition to being a crypto exchange, his main service, at least one of the services that will earn his company a  good amount of money is the legal services that he supplies.

He offers legal services for people who register a token on Steem-Engine and I think it currently costs $50 USD or something like that to register a token there at this time *(it's currently cheap since Steem is cheap right now)*.

The legal services are an add-on and costs more money than just the token fee with the prices being different based on what you require.. but there is already a list of possible countries you can launch in on his website *(already looked at it)*.

<hr>

I am actually interested in doing something similar with [Steem.ph](http://steem.ph) but I am waiting for Steem-Engine to get stronger, offer even more services and become more decentralised first.

I am also waiting for the regulations to change in the Philippines.

This risk is really big.
Because of the current these industrys,
Engineers often to change the runway,
sometimes,
Even the founder will leave the original company.

@crypto.piotr 

I dont know much of what its going on these days but I will reestem your valuable work.
Gracias por tu mensaje y muchas gracias amigo

I think nearly everyone who was in crypto during the 2017 boom will be extremely cautious toward any coin offering with the ICO's still fresh on their minds. I'm looking it more from a use case point of view If I would have a reason to actually use coins that solve a real-life issue I would consider getting in. (I did so with Virtue Poker. Still waiting for them to get something going). Good luck with your STO!

I'm re-arranging my Steemauto upvotes with the new HF21 rules and just put you on it. Enjoy the extra bit of curation.

I'm reading all the comments here! This is all too interesting but I personally don't have much insights to share on the topic.  Definitely a difficult decision from the looks of it, best advice would be to consult with actual compliance lawyers and it's often based on the jurisdiction you're in or catering to

Hello! 

I think Ian Balina can help you. 

You can contact Ian via https://ianbalina.com/pages/contact 

or Telegram Channel which is listed on https://tokenmetrics.com/ 

I am still gathering significant information about STO's. 

Good Luck!

I'm personally not a huge fan of STO. I think the market is not mature enough and hence, STO issuers may find it difficult to raise funds.

There are a few other platforms for your consideration. And you might want to check out [Open Finance](https://www.openfinance.io/), [Own](https://weown.com/) and [Preflogic](https://www.preflogic.com/).

Dear @Crypto.Piotr,<p/>I'm truly sorry to hear about that, and for as much as I would like to help, might not be the best person to give advices about this matter, anyway I found <a href="https://blockchain.news/Post?id=3-Tips-on-choosing-STO-Issuance-Platform" target="_blank">this</a> and think that You might wanna reflect about many of the points talked in the article..<p/>And I have to agree that steem-engine is not the best platform, too much garbage, still, it might turn around someday but in business matters it's not a security for any real investor imo..<p/>Well, wish you all the best, and if I find out something that might be helpful I'll contact You ;)<p/>Cy

Hi @crypto.piotr, this is a specialist area and you should be asking a legal firm specializing in such matters for assistance. Do not simply simply go to any legal firm claiming to specialize in such matters. You need to check the credentials of the lawyers in the firm who will be advising you. Ideally the lawyers should have, besides the usual legal qualifications, qualifications in IT and corporate matters and experience handling such matters for several years. It is unlikely that a single lawyer will have such qualifications and experience and therefore most likely two or more lawyers will be assigned to handle your brief. 

I also suggest you check out this link: https://www.desico.io/. This seems to be a fairly new company but the fact that they are regulated by the central bank of Lithuania (Bank of Lithuania) should give you a lot of comfort. 

Although not recommended, you could possibly ask them to refer you to their recommended legal firms. To avoid conflict of interest arising, make sure that the legal firm is not also legal advisers to Desico.

Dear @crypto.piotr, 

I am not sure whether I have shared the below link with you before. It is a very useful resource for those intending to go the STO route. 
https://token.security/stn/

Here is another link which could shed light on STOs. 
https://www.securitytokenacademy.com/

As you browse through these you will realize the complexity of the issues involved and the importance of getting advice of professionals from across many disciplines.

Thanks for reaching out.  I don't have any experience with launching ICOs... yet.  I do know that the regulatory hurdle can be substantial, which is one reason I've avoided pursuing something like that until I'm ready.  Best of luck!

Hello @crypto.piotr ,

I'd stay still and take a big bird's view on your approach. I'd consult a few lawyers first, and take all the names given for STO platforms, then definitely get a lawyer to verify where I put my feet first. Maybe you should just create real shares in your company, and back your token with the shares.

Anyways you go for this I'd prepare a full-transparent method to prove every step, and every point of the STO to be law-compliant. And make sure that I have companies that have a good name associated to you, but to have a real association, so that you differentiate yourself from the others, and can show that it's not just yet another scam.

Or you can delay, wait to see if there's a clearing that appears in the STO/ICO world. That could also help, though it might take longer.

Anyways, right now, you can only get things through a lawyer, it would be he who knows best how to match up a "normal company" to a crypto-share company.

Hello Piotr,

I have not experience in terms of STO‘s so I cannot recommend a platform or solution but since your looking for capital I cannot help than to
ask myself what would be the benefit of an STO vs regular shares? Since most people in the crypto market won’t even differentiate between ICO‘s and STO‘s, and ICO‘s are burned by scams and regulators, this seems to be a tough way to raise capital I reckon. Sorry that my reply will probably not be a big help. Did you try to reach out to some of our heavy hitters like @theycallmedan for instance or @themarkymark?

Cheers!

Hello my friend @crypto.piotr nice to be here again... 


STOs are instruments already regulated by the government of some countries that have updated their legal framework.

* Have a WhitePaper with all the information about your project. You can also consider a microsite.

* Invite your network to learn about your project.

* Develop a marketing strategy. For this there are already agencies specialized in STOs that are in charge of contacting clients to disseminate your project. 

* Register the STO in a country that has a regulation for it (Malta, Singapore or Switzerland, among others).  For this it is very important to surround yourself with a legal team that knows the subject.

* Program STO. For this there are already standardized protocols that live on different platforms such as Ethereum.


This new way of anchoring will allow you to reach a market that perhaps you had not contemplated, as the main investors are in Europe and Asia. 

Investing in a STO is accessible as it can be done through the Blockchain and from various online platforms. 

This new scheme has many advantages, such as simple example, no intermediaries, put your own rules of the game and have control. In addition, there is an additional mechanism called Exchange, which is the equivalent of a STOs stock exchange. Buyers or investors can gain liquidity by placing them in that market.

I hope to help you with my small comment, but if you can contact our friend Daniel from @blockshine it could be awesome. I´m sure he can help you more than me to recommend you a great platform. He has a lot of experience and maybe he can contact you with his CEO the owner of his company...!!! 

The best for you my friend...!!!

Yours,
Edgar...!!!

Good post!

Hi! 
Thanks for your invitation.

Being honest, my knowledge about the subject is very poor and unfortunately I am not in a position to give you an option for now. I am sure you will find your answers. I wish you the best. 

Regards!

Sorry to hear that piotr.
I don't have any knowledge concerning STOs.

I hope you find a solution and can save the project.

I'm sorry, sir, if for the past few days, I haven't been active in Steemit, I'm not forgetting you, but once again I'm sorry, I'm more busy in blog compasiana, and I say thousands of thanks for your caring assistance to me, may God repay all kindness, amen

Great effort my friend @crypto.piotr. I admire your resilience and clear vision. Unfortunately, I may need to do research on this topic to be able to offer any form of reliable advice. Having said that, I fear STO's and IEO's because all of them are still based on cryptocurrencies that are naturally volatile. The unpredictability is really scary. But, its worth a try.

Hi mate... to be honest... you need to tell us more about that!

For you to choose a "blockchain" technology, you first need to underline the objectives and amount of time you want to focus on the business... and if that time target is not more than 1 year... give up already. Yes... Blockchain is not here for short profits or objectives... those are either called scams or lucky bastards that either have information to fuck up others, or were just in a lucky thoughtful/guessing game.

Looks like I am being negative. Not really. Just realistic in my view. If you want to play the long term useful, profitable, constructive, low cost game, then you need to stay around more than 1 year, maybe even more than 2!

If you want to talk about technology or blockchain solutions give me a call/chat or connect... I see you don't accept invites from strangers on LinkedIn... (good call).. but if you want ask anything you can find me at [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/josefilipehigino). A Zoom call is also ok. I don't want to sell any services here, just interested to help and see technlogy bloom, if I can.
