Master Ventures is once again introducing innovation to the blockchain industry by bringing you Apollo-X, a full-service crypto IDO Launchpad. With the experience of a thriving Ignition platform on hand, we feel it’s the perfect time to launch Apollo-X as another flagship platform in the MV ecosystem. A sister Launchpad to PAID’s Ignition, Master Ventures will synergize our strong track record of successful crypto investments to allow another route of community and project involvement for those who are possibly finding it difficult to enter via Ignition.

If you have any questions for the team, head straight over to the Apollo-X Telegram channel.

Apollo-X will provide a fairer platform allowing for greater engagement

With the desire to grow the blockchain industry, Master Venture’s decided it best to also invest our resources in a platform that searches for hidden gems in the blockchain space. These experimental projects are disruptors of tomorrow, projects that may make a significant impact globally. This is why Master Ventures is providing them a platform to hasten their growth. We are fully cognizant that under the existing parameters, some amazing projects may fall through the cracks. So with this consideration and our absolute commitment to the MV community, we felt launching Apollo-X was the natural step to take.

Running a start-up, even a potentially disruptive one is quite difficult. It requires years of experience that some of these projects do not have. Through Apollo-X, a significant portion of the complex technicalities is relieved. Collaborations between upcoming projects and the Apollo-X team reduces the burden of growing a start-up into a fully-fledged industry disruptor.

The projects launching on Apollo-X will also be exposed to Master Ventures’ vast network of supporters. There are eager blockchain enthusiasts worldwide ready to take projects to get to the disruptive level they envision. The potential in these experimental projects will be refined by the elements present in Apollo-X. It will also provide the projects a great outlook of the feasibility of their innovative application while spring-boarding the more challenging aspects of an IDO launch.

Master Venture’s history of success is the perfect foil for a triumphant Apollo-X launch

MV has tremendous experience in the blockchain industry. We know about running successful platforms, incubating promising projects, and connecting with stakeholders in the blockchain ecosystem. As former executives in start-ups, VCs, and hedge funds, our combined experience creates a team that can disrupt with the ultimate aim of technological innovation. The team also has access to a global pool of like-minded supporters who have helped grow projects like Coinbase and Kraken to become industry behemoths.

Master Ventures co-creates with innovators to convert the best innovations into disruptive products and services. It also focuses on in-house innovation through FUEL to provide solutions and keep its think tank sharp in the dynamic market. The vast experience, complementary creative ideas, and access to a broader market are just some of the key benefits aiding in the launch of Apollo-X.

Giving you a choice to make a difference

“What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” — Jane Goodall

The Master Ventures community is the heart and soul of our ecosystem. We value their participation in enabling the existence of a thriving organization with shared values. We also appreciate all the projects that are opting to launch their IDO’s on our ecosystem. For this reason, Master Ventures, through Apollo-X, provides the opportunity for users to decide on the projects they want to support.

On the Ignition platform, some requirements possibly make it difficult for users to participate in IDO’s. This is an unfortunate byproduct of Ignition’s popularity, but with Apollo-X, there are mutual benefits for all stakeholders involved.

Apollo-X lowers these parameters to allow as many participants as possible while maintaining the ethos of Master Ventures. The general security restrictions are still supported; however, other variables, such as $PAID token requirements, are lowered to enhance participation. Therefore, every community member has the chance to make a difference through Apollo-X and have the choice of Ignition should they desire.

Willy Kerr, Co-Founder of Apollo-X says:

“Success is a reflection of our ability to find solutions, at Master Ventures that is what we strive to excel at. Apollo-X is going to solve many problems faced by new investors to the space, our focus will be on education and reducing barriers to entry for those in the community not owning large amounts of cryptocurrency. 1st class projects, receiving a first-class service, that will be our promise to the community and our launch partners.”

Kyle Chasse, CEO Master Ventures Network, says about Apollo-X:

The launch of Apollo-X is a hugely exciting event for the Master Ventures and PAID community. By combining our strengths such as an already established platform for successful blockchain solutions along with expertise in start-up businesses, we will be at the forefront of introducing the most promising new projects to our communities with minimal impediments for involvement. Apollo-X will add immense value to the MV ecosystem and one we cannot wait to introduce our community too.
