uShark: Bridging Startups and Crypto with Real World Asset Opportunities

The
startup
ecosystem
has
become
a
cornerstone
of
global
innovation
and
economic
growth,
driven
by
entrepreneurs
transforming
visionary
ideas
into
tangible
products
and
services.
Traditionally,
funding
for
startups
came
from
venture
capitalists
and
angel
investors,
but
the
advent
of
equity
crowdfunding
platforms
has
democratized
this
process.
Platforms
like
AngelList,
SeedInvest,
and
Fundable
have
enabled
a
broader
array
of
investors
to
participate
in
early-stage
financing.
This
shift
has
contributed
to
the
success
of
companies
like
Uber,
Airbnb,
and
Dropbox,
which
began
as
fledgling
startups
and
received
early-stage
funding
through
such
models.
This
democratization
has
opened
doors
for
average
investors
to
share
in
the
potential
high
returns
of
startup
investments.
Despite
these
opportunities,
many
missed
out
on
early
investment
rounds
that
could
have
yielded
substantial
rewards.
For
instance,
Uber,
now
a
global
ride-hailing
giant
valued
at
over
$50
billion,
started
with
seed
funding
from
angel
investors
and
venture
capital
rounds,
highlighting
the
lucrative
potential
of
early-stage
investments.
According
to Facts
and
Factors,
the
global
crowdfunding
market
is
expected
to
grow
at
a
compound
annual
growth
rate
(CAGR)
of
11.8%
from
2022
to
2028.
The
valuation
for
the
global
crowdfunding
market
was
USD
13.5
billion
in
2021
and
is
expected
to
exceed
USD
28.2
billion
by
2028.

Facilitating
investment
in
startups
and
early-stage
companies
has
evolved
beyond
traditional
methods.
Investors
now
have
access
to
a
spectrum
of
models,
including
traditional
equity
crowdfunding,
crypto
investments,
and
hybrid
approaches
that
combine
elements
of
both.
Equity
crowdfunding
allows
everyday
investors
to
buy
shares
in
promising
startups,
breaking
down
previous
barriers
to
entry.
In
the
crypto
space,
early-stage
blockchain
projects
can
be
funded
through
token
sales,
democratizing
access
to
potentially
high-reward
investments.
Hybrid
models
blend
traditional
and
crypto
investment
avenues,
combining
the
benefits
of
blockchain
technology
with
the
regulatory
compliance
of
traditional
securities.
This
is
where




uShark



comes
into
play,
revolutionizing
how
individuals
can
invest
in
startups.
uShark
integrates
a
unique
token
with
their
business
model,
offering
an
inclusive
and
accessible
platform
that
balances
investment
opportunities
for
all
investors.
Through
uShark,
investors
can
explore
real-world
asset
opportunities
and
contribute
to
the
success
of
promising
startups,
making
investment
more
inclusive
and
accessible
for
everyone.

About
uShark

uShark



aims
to
harness
the
interest
of
small
investors
in
disruptive
technologies
to
facilitate
growth.
Created
by
Brazilian
entrepreneur
and
Harvard
Business
School
Alumni
Geraldo
Marques
just
a
year
ago,
uShark
connects
individual
investors
and
legal
entities,
such
as
funds,
to
small
companies
through
the
sale
of
crypto
assets.
Unlike
a
traditional
venture
capital
fund,
uShark
does
not
intermediate
large
checks
to
startups.
Instead,
it
creates
a
digital
environment
where
promising
companies
can
seek
investments
from
numerous
investors
willing
to
contribute
smaller
amounts.

uShark
operates
as
a
startup
investment
platform,
bridging
entrepreneurs
and
investors
through
the
sale
of
crypto
assets.
This
model
is
akin
to
equity
crowdfunding
but
with
a
unique
twist:
the
negotiation
of
crypto
assets
backed
by
the
equity
of
the
companies
involved.
This
innovative
approach
allows
small
companies
to
negotiate
their
shares
with
a
large
pool
of
investors.

The
selection
of
companies
in
uShark’s
portfolio
is
curated
by
seven
market
experts
known
as
uShark
Angels.
These
mentors
are
affiliated
with
prestigious
institutions
such
as
Harvard
Angels
Chicago,
Oxford,
Stanford,
Cubo
Itaú,
and
Sebrae
for
Startups.
This
expert
curation
ensures
that
only
the
most
promising
startups
are
presented
to
potential
investors.
