Market: 4
- Although the ICO market is booming and has raised much excitement, the market can be a danger as well. Less than half of ICOs of 2017 were successful, resulting in a loss of $2.76 billion USD stemming from misuse or projects that had no clear purpose. Vertex wants to mitigate these risks and enhance the ICO process.
- The Vertex platform targets the ICO community. ICOs and ICO investors alike will benefit from the features that Vertex has to offer such as preferential pricing, vetting, and exposure.
- The first quarter of 2018 has already amassed over half of the funds raised for ICOs last year with $3.3 billion USD in 513 ICOs; higher than half of the raised in all of 2017.
Competitive Advantage: 4.5
- Vertex can provide platform users with access to ICOs that do not go public.
- Vertex will be offering exclusive ICOs on its platform beginning in late 2019.
- Vertex has an expert team of investors that will enable them to vet the best ICOs.
- Vertex’s ecosystem aspires to inject capital into its own ICO market.
- If Vertex succeeds, it will be able to appeal to people who have not yet participated in the crypto market, providing investment opportunities with some alleviated risk.
Team: 3.5

- Many team members have a background in the financial sector.
- The team seems to have good experience analyzing blockchain services which will be helpful for analyzing prospective ICOs for the platform.

User Adoption: 4
- The Vertex project has been featured on some esteemed news outlets such as Yahoo Finance, Business Insider, The Business Journals, and Market Watch.
- Vertex has a decent but average social media following. Their Telegram has acquired 34,000 members and their Twitter (18.5k) and Facebook (2k) have hit decent following bases as well.
- Vertex will provide consulting services to ICOs that are on its platform.
- This project certainly isn’t for everyone in the sense that only people who deal in ICOs or actively invest in crypto will understand the scope of what Vertex is trying to accomplish.
