Otonomos

In this April issue of The Otonomist, we talk about programmable private company shares as the true killer app for RWA, give our European frens a recap on MiCA, check in with our dev desk, and announce our Third Tuesday IRL initiative.

MiCA is relevant to anybody who wants to build onchain from Europe or offer regulated services in the EU. Our guest author this month offers a guide.

In this post, we discuss why you don't have to be a BlackRock to tokenize shares in your own company, how to go about it, and why you should do it.

In this March Funding Special, we take an unadorned approach to fundraising and give an update on what our dev desk has been working on.

In this post, we look back to what kept the development desk busy on February and what we will be working in in March and beyond.

In the last part of our Fundraise Special, we look at a possible third and arguably hardest way: growing your business out of its own revenue.

This third part of our March Funding Special is looking at compliant fund raising via platforms such as Angel.co, Echo, Fairmint and Legion as a possible synthesis between the VC and the decentralized ways in resp. Part I and II.

In this post, we give an overview of the key approaches, from the early days of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) to the more recent Fair Launch model, laid out in a way that tracks their development and trade-offs.

In this post, we take a matter-of-fact approach to equity capital, starting with an overview of recent trends, followed by a brief explanation of a standard Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE), and closing with a discussion of a typical VC term sheet.
