Invictus Innovations was incorporated on July 4, 2013 with the funding and mission to create BitShares. On Nov 5th, 2013 the first block of protoshares (PTS) Was Mined. The following summer BitShares X spun off from PST and there have been many noteworthy events since then. However, BitShares was born on July 4th when the funding to create it was provided by a very famous Chinese investor.
The concept was discussed in bitcointalk a few months leading up to that, but there is no better day than July 4th and the remarkable fact that a Virginia government official was working on that day and incorporated it on a national holiday.
