World Tokenomic Forum Launches a Revolutionary Social Enterprise Venture Fund for Blockchain Related TechnologiesSINGAPORE, Feb. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- World Tokenomic Forum is innovating the social enterprise venture fund model with its Sandcastle Social Enterprise Fund focused on early stage, protocol and decentralized application investments for cybersecurity, infrastructure, identity, payments, and social impact companies. The fund model innovation is highlighted by a tiered give-back distribution of between 20%-40% of the General Partners' Carried Interest profits to non-profit organizations whose missions support next-generation entrepreneurs, global startup ecosystems, social enterprises, blockchain advocacy groups, and research organizations and university incubators who make up the social impact members of the World Tokenomic Forum consortium. This will be coupled with an active trading and annual dividend structure based upon the fund's parallel token trading strategy. The initial fund formation will be complete and live by April 2018 and announce its initial portfolio of technologies. Three 501(c)3 beneficiaries so far have been identified including StartupAZ Foundation, Global Blockchain Foundation and Jindal Centre For Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship and the partner's goal will be to identify and add up to 20 more over the next two years.

"We are delighted to announce what we believe to be a game-changing innovation to the way venture impact investing and carried interest profits are distributed by tying an aggressive growth and ROI strategy of our portfolio companies to an increased give-back that benefits a broader humanity in ecosystems around the globe," said Chris J. Snook, World Tokenomic Forum founder/executive chairman and managing partner. The World Tokenomic Forum is committed to building bridges not walls as a leading industry agnostic consortium shaping the future of our token economy and the Sandcastle Social Enterprise Fund is an important step in farthing that vision, mission, and purpose.
