I am a firm believer in crowd-funding. I have taken venture in the past and they just want to drive your business the moment they come in. Yes venture does bring some good partners and connections, but they also come up with lot of bad partners and people who are just looking to grab the money you raised. It all depends on the VC firm.

Btw, we are not a well-established company. We would not be doing an IEO. I clarified the point in an earlier post. We have founders who have been in the industry for a long time and have implemented similar solutions in the past, we have recently partnered with organizations who are giving us access to a lot of their network as potential future customers. The funds raised will be used to develop and scale the Blockchain platform and market the solutions, onboard these network of farmers and producers and run the shop activities.

I disagree with you. Just because a project is on Binance means nothing, except that it will be launched on one of the top exchanges. In fact, I don't like the due diligence process of Binance. The result is a project (I won't name) which they recently did an IEO, but it has nothing to show. The team was probably sharing some made up facts to Binance based on which they picked the project. This is from first-hand experience. I am with Farm2Kitchen, we are doing an IEO on ProBit. Our application is still pending on Binance. We were planning an ICO in Nov 2018, but we pulled out of it because of the bad market and instead we went to development with the seed funds and build a Marketplace that we launched last month. We build an app which is in Beta on Android. So we just did not quit because the ICO was pulled off, we carried on with the plans with whatever limited resources we had. Now we have a MVP to showcase and we are proud of the progress we have done with the resources. We are top rated on ICO Bench and ICO Marks (which to me does carry weight because of the due diligence they do). We are looking forward to a successful IEO so we can use the funds to develop the Blockchain network for traceability and market the platform across our primary market. So trust me my friend, not all IEOs are bad and being on Binance is not a validation.

Good question! TE-Food is a good solution, but it caters to more of larger food producers and is offered as a subscription to participate on the platform vs. the Farm2Kitchen solution is a democratic, open solution where the participants only pay for transaction fees or gas. Plus the other difference is we have a provision to reuse QR codes, lets say for fresh producer farmers who use crates to deliver producer. This makes the solution cost-effective and suitable for small and marginal farmers too.

The other key difference is we are building a Farmer's Marketplace which will provide direct market access to farmers which in turn will improve the margins for the farmers. The idea is that effectively the Farm2Kitchen platform will pay for itself without adding a burden on the farmers.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to message me on Telegram @yogeshko and also join our group @Farm2Kitchen.

We will have the round 1 numbers released before the start of round 2 on May 7th.

About the timeline, we started with the Food Traceability on Blockchain concept of this project in late 2017. We officially launched in February 2018. We did some PoC building a platform forking from a popular chain and then did another PoC on Hyperledger. In last summer the Apps team started working on building this Marketplace and the Farm Management mobile app. We did a first release of the app in November 2018, but we decided to pull it off the Play Store because of some critical issues in the app. I don't know your experience with building a startup, but its a process, especially when you are on a limited budget. Now we have the marketplace MVP that went live last month. The funds raised from the ICO will be used to build the Blockchain platform, marketing, and business development activities for the marketplace and the traceability platforms.

I am available on Telegram at yogeshko if you have any specific questions. You are also welcome to join our group telegram group @Farm2Kitchen.

We really appreciate the interest in our platform.

You are spot on! The reference is an MoU we have signed with a Farmer's organization that has 600,000 members. These are the farmers who are slowly but steadily joining the marketplace. The marketplace is Free to join and so its not going to get us the revenue at this point. We have some strategies to monetize the marketplace, but that's in the future. We are talking to government organizations, but it has been a struggle because of the lack of understanding of Blockchain.

Yes you may have seen many projects that show a multi-billion market, but there are key differences:
- Many ICO projects talk about building the next "rocket to the moon" with no demonstrated experience, but we are building Food Traceability solution on Blockchain. The founders have experience building a similar solution using traditional databases, we are partners on the project and Premier IBM Business partner with expertise on Blockchain, so we know we can build the solution.
- Its not always about the market. The world is changing and people are conscious about what's on their plate. This is going to drive up the demand for traceability and the market will definitely grow in the future.
- Finally, we have some demonstrated early traction, which always helps. We signed an MoU with a winemaker and they will use our platform for tracking their bottles of wine. We are in talks with a FPU for a similar partnership. So things are looking great.
So, I have no doubts in my mind that we can successfully deliver what we are promising.

We have applied with Binance. But the problem is I think they are getting 100s of applications and they are following a weird process. They say that we have to keep posting project progress on their forum and they will decide based on that. One of the recent project they launch (I won't name it) their progress I have analyzed and I don't see it as real progress, but maybe they were sharing ambitions updates to Binance and they selected them. Its all very tricky. Right now we are happy with ProBit as they were quick to launch and they have pretty good volume. Plus our own subscribers. Our crowd-sale platform has almost 20,000 subscribers. So all of this is helping. I am not sure if this will get us the hardcap, but its a good start for us.

Where are those farmers and producers will come from?
Farm2Kitchen is a global platform, but as far as the BD efforts we are focusing on south-east Asia as the launch market. This is where we have existing partnerships that we are leveraging to bring the farmers on the platform.

Do you have prior communication with them regarding this project?
Yes we have run multiple outreach efforts to spread the word about the project. Also, the idea with the online marketplace is also to bring farmer's to the platform while the Food Tracking Blockchain platform is under development.

Where will your first Farmer's Marketplace be located?
As I said, the marketplace is online and global. For the buyer-side, we will be aggregating as metro-areas.

One of the guidelines I suggest is, if a project is in seed stage, they should not be asking for too much money. Anything more than 10 million is alarming. Check the founders, if they are real, you can find their previous history on Google, not just some link they provided. Check their credibility of building businesses. Some common sense things that we miss out.

I have a social network project I had started working on, but never launched it because of a change in Facebook Groups. I have most of the development work done. Contact me on telegram yogeshko or I am on skype Bizteon. My company Bizteon is a Houston Texas based premier IBM Business Partner. So the technology side I can handle.

Check out ProBit. Its a Korean exchange this is listed on CMC. The volume is still low but their IEOs are doing good. This is from personal experience. I am with Farm2Kitchen (F2K Token). We successfully completed our round 1 of IEO yesterday and raised the startup funds. Now we getting ready to launch the round 2, starting from May 7th. It depends on your project too. Farm2Kitchen has a strong reputation and a big following on social media. We have 20k people signed up on our own crowd-sale platform. So that makes a difference too, but still I feel ProBit is good. No platform issue.

I see Ethererum as somewhat similar to a VC firm. You buy Ether and invest them in ICO or IEO by trading the Ether with the ERC-20 tokens offered by the project. The projects get paid in your ETH that they can later convert to Fiat or use as is for development and marketing activities.

Check out Farm2Kitchen (F2K) Token for an example, which is a token on the Ethereum platform and is used for crowd-funding using IEO which is currently ongoing on ProBit.
