Invluencer: Decentralised VC through the i3D Protocol & Polygon

i3D Protocol
4 min readApr 28, 2022

Vision

There is wisdom in the crowd and every person involved in the investment sector wishes to tap into it for increased growth and value.

In venture capital one of the greatest limitations is the underlying Pareto Principle of 80:20, in which only 20% of investments make a return for the investor, and often liquidity is very poor.

Invluencer and its i3D Protocol, has a vision to become the world’s first democratised and transparent alpha venture capital network, and wants access to collective intelligence via distributed due diligence. The primary aim of this is to effectively increase the upside ratio of the Pareto Principle equation, and simultaneously for the network members to be able to profit from doing the due diligence collectively.

Mission

For most ordinary investors, and the majority of crowdfunding platforms, making attempts at predicting successful companies is difficult due to resource constraints. Even the top VC companies follow the distributed investment principle of investing where the odds of early-stage investment failures are stacked 80:20 in favour of failure. These companies overcome the economics of this system by following the General Partner Limited Partner model which pushes the financial failure onto the Limited Partners. Generally, VC investment takes place from Seed rounds onwards which reduces their risk as the companies are further in their life cycle. This also means that higher risks are taken by ordinary investors who fund companies in pre-seed rounds.

Our Mission for Invluencer is to create a new and disruptive system that redefines the inequitably stacked economics of venture capital in favour of the few. An essential part of successful investing is a successful screening process — something usually not available to the ordinary investor due to the poor data environment in which early-stage companies operate. Instead of risking an investment for the fear of missing out, poor intelligence, or reliance on an expensive analysis, we want everybody to be able to access and contribute to our “Intelligent Distributed Due Diligence” (i3D) Network and get paid for doing so.

How we achieve this

We have designed a formula and platform that unites the power of VC investment and the social imperative for collective and inclusive development. Our aim is to remove the barriers to entry into the profitable venture capital market, bringing in the best elements of crowd-funding methodology, and creating a secure, lower-risk environment for intelligent consensus and collective investment initiatives.

Our i3D Protocol rewards users for partaking in intelligent due diligence for greater deal assessment. We harness the power of machine learning algorithms to assign components of company assessment in a layered analysis methodology to ensure all the factors identified to prevent failure or success are assessed until equilibrium of score is achieved, thus removing bias and identifying red flags. It also monitors and evaluates those that complete the work, matching the aspects of a company to be assessed with the tools in an individual’s skill set, assigning work to them more frequently as they prove their reputation and expertise within the network.

We aim to achieve this Vision and Mission with support from Polygon Studios and through our:

3 Token Solution & Tokenomics

3 token solution — find out more at https://invluencer.com
  1. i3D Angel NFT

Smart Contracts allow validated Access Control to the data marketplace. The i3D Angel NFT ensures that only network participants have access to network reports

2. i3D Arena & i3D Rapid App

i3D Arena is a platform that allows an Inner Swarm of the Network to conduct a deep dive into the potential of alpha start-ups. i3D Rapid is a mobile app that allows us to build a Trust Network and rapidly conduct due diligence.

3. Upsilon Dry Powder Mining

Upsilon Dry Powder Mining is a yield generating fund that the i3D Protocol loans its proceeds to. This generates passive yield for investment in alpha start-ups identified by the Swarms. It creates Capital Preservation and serves as a floor price for the i3D Token.

* i3D Protocol is an Investor in Upsilon which is also available to counterparties for added TVL

Smart devices (which the majority of people have), Blockchain technology, Smart Contracts, Network Effects and Cryptocurrency are all the technology enablers that allow the i3D Protocol to be a decentralised protocol. All of these components, and the immutability and integrity they offer to a tech innovation, allow us to build a distributed protocol without the need for a centralised human resources or finance departments. Essentially the Code in the smart contracts is Law.

Very important: the above is not financial advice and is a snapshot of the processes we run. You should DYOR!
