If a VC invests in equity, which also gives it right to tokens, does its holding of equity disappear after it receives the tokens? That is, does the equity convert into tokens, or would the VC be holding both equity and tokens? If its the latter, what would the VC get from keep holding equity after receiving tokens? If the startup eventually decentralizes fully and becomes community run and owned, can it still have a IPO or M&A exit? If not, would the equity be meaningless once tokens are issued?

@Enrico Bottazzi No, I did not. If you find an answer, I would really appreciate if you could share it here.

Anyone found an answer for this yet?
I agree, I’m still entirely unsure about what purpose/value the equity of any blockchain/cryptocurrency holds?
Surely it’s all based around the tokens/coins? These tokens/coins are publicly available right from whenever the project ICOs, so why would a VC ever but equity and not just buy the publicly available tokens/coins?
Weird one…

I’m pretty sure there would be a conversion from equity to Tokens- Else it would
lead to the double valuation of the network (i.e; Equity + Token). ( I think the process would be similar to Angel investors financing Start-ups using debt with a right to convert to equity down the line.) Hope this helps.

Lets just say that 99% of ICO’s were scams.

Fantastic series! I have one question, How would you approach the financial projection spreadsheet to show potential investors for a social platform decentralised app ?

VCs need to realize that decentralized apps should not support network ownership allocations proportional to equity in a crypto startup. You are centralizing decentralization
