Some analysts suggest that total ICO investment volume is now higher than angel and seed financing but how can you get in on the action?

For many company founders, there is currently a question to be answered- should they take a traditional venture capital route to fundraise or should they work out a way to include tokens in their business and raise capital through an ICO.

For investors, the limited regulations of ICOs and risky nature might prove off-putting. On the other hand, it may prove to be hugely lucrative.

Join us and BDO to discuss some of the opportunities offered by ICO investments along with drinks, canapés and networking.
