First time posting after 2.5 years. Take this post seriously.
Own is aiming to disrupt one of the biggest parts of our global financial system. The global equity market offers a huge potential for new technologies like Blockchain. Own offers a solution for both sides of this enormous market, to make the fundraising and investment process cheaper, more efficient and less time consuming. It will be interesting to see which fundraising method companies and investors will utilize in the future. Personally, I am very bullish on the whole security token space. Therefore I view Own as one of the projects with a huge upside potential in the long term. If new forms of fundraising through blockchain and crypto will prevail, then Own would definitely have a chance to become one of the big names in this industry.
Concerning the total available market size, Own might be one of the projects in the crypto space with the biggest scaling potential. The existing global equity market is estimated at 75 trillion USD in assets under management, and it is predicted to grow up to 100 trillion USD by the year 2020. Privately held companies make up 99% of this market. The potential market is enormous and certainly in need of new technologies and disruption. Own is offering a solution which could bring together old and new economies by simplifying proven processes through blockchain technology. Furthermore, Own is allowing a new group of investors to have access to tools and markets, that are currently only available to a select few.
