The new token will offer investment opportunities for qualified purchasers in the United States and permitted investors across the world. Competent investors will be able to use the Silicon Valley Coin to explore further investment opportunities in the US and around the globe.
Andra Capital is immensely active with regards to investments in crypto startups. The Silicon Valley Coin will be utilized as a funding mechanism to invest in startups, which are close to maturity. Andra Capital focuses on such mature companies through its various investment arms majorly located in the US
Partnership is key to unlocking the SVC’s potential
The head of strategic partnerships at Andra Capital, Sam Raman, said that the forthcoming Silicon Valley Coin would represent the best elements of both the Tezos Foundation and TokenSoft.
Raman said, “The TokenSoft platform offers the tech for qualified retail investors to take part in suitable, late-stage venture firms. We have also partnered with best-in-class providers like the Tezos Foundation for its expertise in digital securities for the SVC offering.”
The President of TQ Tezos, Alison Mangiero, also commented about the collaboration and the upcoming product. She stated, “We are happy to see venture capital companies embracing digital securities that enable them to compliantly and easily offer global investors access to a constantly exclusive asset class.”
TokenSoft CEO, Mason Borda, also added, “We have seen huge demand from issuers looking forward to issuing on the Tezos blockchain because of its institutional-grade properties/qualities. TokenSoft’s platform will offer the tech for qualified retail investors from more than 50 countries to make investments using the SVC.”
