Democratizing access to funding, this is a very promising target, of course with very good planning, I hope ICO will run well.
The democratization of the access to public financing has been provided by kickstarter and indiegogo. But Acorn gives much more-reduced fees, a wide range of countries to participate, making the project truly international.
Not only international, but most importantly in my opinion more accessible. It's important. And this is the key to success.
