About Acorn Collective:

Changing the Face of Crowdfunding
Acorn is building a blockchain based crowdfunding platform that's the first to be free and open to any legal project in any country.
Free Crowdfunding
ERC-20 token means tiny transaction fees (other platforms: typically 3-5%). ICO proceeds fund Acorn Revenue Generation Mechanisms so Acorn don’t need to charge any platform fees for crowdfunding (other platforms: typically 5%).
All Legal Projects
Acorn will allow legal and non-harmful projects, irregardless of category to crowdfund for free. Acorn works as well for community projects as it does for huge consumer products. Acorn don't shut you out because you're a local business.
Any Country
Crowdfunding is an outstanding success in developed countries. Emerging markets are all but shut out. Acorn interested in an expansive ecosystem, so Acorn will allow all non-sanctioned countries.
Attractive Tokenomics
Fixed supply token, used for all transactions in Acorn crowdfunding hub, Acorn post-campaign marketplace, Acorn support services and Acorn point-of-sales payment app. Real utility means real demand.
Early Incentives
Acorn want to reward and encourage early adopters. A Project Incentive Fund provides generous incentives for people to use Acorn platform. Acorn affiliate rewards provides commissions for successful recruitment of additional users.
Validated Interest
Acorn have a growing list of interested projects waiting to be listed. Accelerators and incubators in developed and emerging markets are partnering with us to provide crowdfunding to ventures and entrepreneurs in their networks.
