TraDove ICO - bbcoin.tradove.com 00:00 Hello everyone, my name is Kent Yan, I'm the founder and CEO of TraDove Inc. 00:08 We're a business social network company in Silicon Valley. 00:12 For many years, I have been helping U.S. 00:14 Companies sourcing manufacturing from China, companies like Kaiser Bush, understand Windows and constellation brand. 00:20 And during this process, I find out there's a major problems in the b2b space. 00:24 First, is people don't see each other. 00:26 Even your partner could be in the same time, you don't know where they are. 00:31 And then there's transparency issue. 00:32 It's very hard for buyers to find qualified suppliers and for suppliers to find qualified buyers. 00:39 And then there is trust issue in the international trade. 00:42 So I came up with this idea to start a company, a business oriented social network basically putting corporate buying people and selling people under the same umbrella, so they can find each other in clicks rather than weeks. 00:53 We authenticate every user so that kind of finding is credible, they can also provide references endorsement for their partners so other companies can use this data to shorten their due diligence time. 01:04 And then also what we're doing is we're using big data and AI technology to match the buyer and seller and also allow them to for the first time in the Internet, to do company to company precision advertising. 01:19 We have attracted top-notch investors. 01:21 People like former CEO of Bank America, former sale for Morgan Stanley, former group VP of manufacturing, gogo manufacturing from General Motors. 01:31 We have top talents as well, from MIT, Amazon, Alibaba, LinkedIn and Facebook. 01:38 As a retired congressman from Silicon Valley, I've been very interested in helping companies, especially mid to small grow their businesses. 01:48 I found that the most difficult thing for those mid to small-sized companies to do is to find customers that build trust with those customers. 01:57 I met Kent on a flight to Los Angeles and I was thrilled that his company tradeoff is attacking that exact problem. 02:03 I was pleased to be asked to come on as TraDove strategic advisor and help them to achieve their vision. 02:10 I really like that trade-off of a top-tier b2b company, brings business people together, buyers and sellers together, help them find each other quickly and credibly, share knowledge and opportunity. 02:22 What TraDove is doing also makes b2b to be more transparent and trustworthy. 02:27 While in Congress, I served six years on the United States House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, and I think it is very innovative that TraDove is using the latest blockchain technology to solve the trust problem in all aspects of b2b, domestic and international trade. 02:43 During the period when I was the chief executive officer of the Bank of America, I was extremely fortunate be exposed to a great many senior executives including CEOs around the world. 03:02 The amazing thing was a they all had in many respects, a very common theme, you were exporting to around the world and and of course the important thing was to find the right customers and and not only the right customers who would buy, but the right customers who would pay, and and that required of course considerable vetting, checking and the rest of it. 03:26 That's why I was so very impressed when I ran into Kent and he was building a company that did this for suppliers, vendors and frankly for customers as well, around the world. 03:44 So when I met Kent, and he had this company trade of that he was just starting, it seemed to me that this is frankly one way and maybe the only way of solving this significant business problem. 04:01 So believe it or not, I became an investor as well as I guess an advisor and I frankly have not been, sorry, I've joined their Board of Advisors and and the company continues to progress extremely well, and I frankly think they have a very good future ahead of them. 04:23 After five years of hard work, we have now 250,000 corporate users from hundreds thousand companies worldwide, and that number is growing faster every day. 04:33 With this video, we're launching the first b2b token offering in the global market. 04:38 The significance of this offering is that it opened up the corporate demand for the cryptocurrency for their sales, marketing and trading needs. 04:48 You will leapfrog trade off to the next level by reaching a critical mass much faster. 04:53 It will allow us to use the token to facilitate the interactions between buyer and seller in our ecosystem. 04:58 And most importantly, we can use this token together with blockchain technology such a smart contract to serve the trust program in the b2b space. 05:09 So I'm pitching to you all the qualifying people to participate our global token offering. 05:14 We will be humble to team with you to make this world a much easier place to the business. 05:19 Our presale date is October 26 2017. 05:22 Our public sale day is February 1st 2018, and we'll see you there.

ICO Review: TraDove (BBCoin) - Tokenized Business Social Network 00:00 Hi everyone, this is Victoria from crush crypto dot com. 00:03 In this video, I will be talking about TraDove, a tokenized business social network. 00:07 Please know we are not paid or mandated to do any of our reviews, this is just our personal opinion and analysis and not investment advice. 00:15 TraDove is a platform for businesses to be able to communicate and transact with each other. 00:21 Similar to how LinkedIn is a professional network and Facebook is a social network, TraDove allows corporate buyers and sellers of goods and services on its platform to discover each other more easily along with the added trust that a user on the trade of network will have to verify their position as a representative for their business. 00:38 By launching their own native cryptocurrency called BBCoin, TraDove hopes to be able to empower buyer and seller interactions. 00:46 Corporate sellers are able to use BBCoins in exchange for AI powered recommendations to corporate buyers. 00:52 They are then able to pay the buyers BBCoins in order to pitch them their products. 00:56 TraDove also hopes to empower b2b precision advertising. 01:00 Any company on TraDove is able to create ads to target specific business users or searches. 01:05 Corporate buyers that interact with the ads receive BBCoins for their attention. 01:08 TraDove eventually emissions BBcoins existing as a medium of exchange in international commerce with less of the friction and fees that currently affect international trade. 01:19 TraDove is a network for businesses with verified users and direct opportunities for corporate buyers and sellers on the platform to be able to connect and communicate. 01:28 According to crunch base, TraDove has been in operation since 2012 and has between 11 to 50 employees. 01:35 This slide summarizes his team's development roadmap over the next few years. 01:38 By the end of the year 2020, they hope to see BB coin uses a medium of exchange internationally. 01:46 TraDove plans to raise up to 52 million dollars in their token offering. 01:51 The pre sell has already started on January 1st and will end on January 31st, with a bonus of 30 percent in the first 10 days 20 percent in the next 10 days and 10 percent in the last 10 days. 02:01 There is an additional 30 percent bonus for contributions above $48,000. 02:04 The crowdsale will begin on February 1st and will end on February 15th after which the tokens will be distributed. 02:11 The conversion rate is 16 cents per BBCoin during the crowd sale. 02:15 This chart shows how the total supply 1 billion BB coins will be allocated. 02:20 As you can see, 10% will be reserved mostly for the team and for some of the stakeholders. 02:24 There is also a six-month lockup period after the ICO, after that monthly sales limits will apply. 02:30 For the team rewards there will be a vesting period of 4 years. 02:34 This chart shows how the team intends to use the proceeds from the token offering. 02:37 For the most up-to-date information on their token offering, please check out their website and their telegram group. 02:43 So what are the use cases for the tokens? 02:46 Corporate buyers have access to TraDove services for free. 02:48 Corporate sellers also have access to the basic functions for free but will to use BBCoins to pay for premium options and for ads on the platform. 02:56 Corporate sellers will also pay potential buyers with BBCoins in order to pitch their products or services directly to them. 03:04 They can also pay TraDove than BB coins for prioritized ad similar to how a sponsored ad on Yelp works except that buyers also receive BB coins were paying attention to those ads. 03:13 BB coins value appreciate as his platform offers more and more value to his users. 03:19 As TraDove roses user base, they also hope to allow the use of BB coins as an international trade payment method. 03:26 The core TraDove team consists of 8 members and they also have a development and marketing team based in China. 03:32 Ken Yan, the founder and CEO of TraDove, obtains his MS and electrical engineering and his MBA from MIT, and founded an international trade company called brain sets before TraDove. 03:42 TraDove advisors and investors include Richard Rosenberg, a former chairman and CEO of Bank of America and a former chairman of MasterCard international, built up the former CFO of Morgan Stanley and the former CEO of Tiger Management, Mike Honda, retired US congressman and other impressive advisors and investors. 04:00 Some opportunities we wanted to highlight. 04:04 TraDove as an established business with over 250,000 users from over 200 Fortune 1000 companies. 04:11 Very few ICO projects have this kind of user base. 04:13 Here are just some of the companies that are currently using TraDove. 04:17 TraDove has an impressive line of advisors including Mike Honda, the former US congressman and Richard Rosenberg the former chairman and CEO of Bank of America. 04:25 Both made a video for this project which we believe will help alleviate some investor concerns about the project being a scam. 04:32 And some of our concerns. 04:35 For some reason, there has been some chatter that the project is a scam. 04:37 The rumors seem to be unfounded but it has certainly dampened the sentiment for this project. 04:42 In their telegram group, people have been discussing refunds for their contributions, which almost never happens. 04:48 But it seems that people have been getting better contributions in full which should further ease investors. 04:52 The target users of BBCoins or corporate buyers and sellers and they're mostly not cryptocurrency users. 04:58 Therefore, the use of a new cryptocurrency could become a barrier of adoption for those target users. 05:02 As a project's value depends heavily on the network effect from having a large amount of buyers and sellers, we are not sure of using a token is going to help the business grow. 05:12 For flipping, we currently have a neutral view. 05:15 The presale has been going on since November of last year when it was a very strong market for alt coins but the project has only raised a small amount of money so far. 05:22 But the recent volatility in the market, we believe it would be difficult for the project to successfully raise 52 million dollars. 05:30 As for long-term holding, we also have a neutral view. 05:32 As I mentioned earlier, we believe the introduction of BB coins into the business model could potentially hinder the growth of the project. 05:39 Therefore, we are uncertain at the moment if the project will succeed in the long run. 05:43 Thank you very much for watching our video on TraDove. 05:46 Please share your questions or thoughts with us in the comments below. 05:49 If you haven't already, please subscribe to our youtube channel or follow us on Twitter or Facebook. 05:54 See you next time and keep on crushing your crypto game.
