About LabStart
LabStart is a blockchain-based investment platform that aims at reassessing the way innovations are funded. Our goal is to allow anyone to invest directly in the innovation projects presented on the platform - thanks to LabCoin - and to allow investors to own a share of the project’s resulting patents. Thus, it offers a secure and decentralized alternative to the traditional innovation investment ecosystem.
Three main issues can be pointed out in the current system: the lack of funding for innovators, the difficult processes used to access funds and the lack of safe places for individuals to invest in innovation. LabStart aims at bridging the gap between people and the potential innovative solutions, in order to answer our society’s growing challenges.
The blockchain and smart contracts technologies address those issues by providing an accessible, distributed and controlled environment. Once research and development results in a patent, investors will hold a certain amount of intellectual property, calculated based on the quantity of funds invested. As such, they will have decisional power over the outcome of the innovation - sale of the patent, distribution of licences, etc. - according to the relevant legal environment.
Features
In order to open the innovative ecosystem to everyone, LabStart intends to use the various models of crowdfunding by incorporating the concept of patents. Once the innovation project finished and the technology or the product itself developed, each investor will hold a share of the patent ownership. Sharing the patent ownership and tracking the innovative process are made thanks to the blockchain and smart contracts technology, via the LabStart platform.
LabStart platform is a decentralized application (dApp) built on the Ethereum network providing a link between innovative project bearers and investors. Thus anyone can support the innovative projects present on the platform.
