DAO Maker is a decentralized venture investing platform allowing retail investors to invest in equity and tokens. The project aims to lower the entry barriers for retail investors and help early stage startups to scale their businesses. To foster rapid growth of startups, DAO Maker introduces social mining to train investors as skilled contributors in the ecosystem. DAO is the native token of DAO Maker. While investors use DAO for staking and participating in fundraising events, startups receive DAO for their fundraising revenue and enterprise services. Christoph Zaknun currently leads DAO Maker as chief executive officer and has been an ICO investor since 2016. The DAO Maker ecosystem includes notable angel investors and institutions such as Fantom and JRR Capital. Going forward, DAO Maker plans to launch a fiat-enabled fundraising platform for retail investors of different risk appetites.
