TeslaStarter will go through 3 different phases.
The first phase, will be focused on crowdfunding inventors ideas. Since there are a lot of areas to research and it's still an unknown path, there will be hundreds or thousands of ideas/projects. You cannot expect a ROI as an investor but you will earn TeslaPoints that will get you a privileged place to invest in the next phase. The experience and knowledge the inventors acquires will be open for everyone who wants to use it.
The second phase will be focused on crowdfunding entrepreneurs and VC projects.
Entrepreneur projects will be based on ideas previously developed and shared by inventors. It can be teams created by inventors that want to move to the next phase or they can be teams created using the knowledge shared by inventors. This is based on the idea that some inventors don't want to take care of a company and they want to focus on researching. However from our point of view, the best case scenario is where the entrepreneur and the inventor join forces.
The VC projects will be run by people with experience in the field willing to fund entrepreneurs projects. The investors that have collaborated in the previous phase will have a privileged spot in this phase, meaning they'll be able to buy before anyone else.
The third phase will be focused on crowdfunding companies with a long time in the market and with an already proof product. The objective is to provide liquidity to the company without forcing the owners to sell part of the stake. As in the phase before, the ones that have taken part crowdfunding project in the previous phases
will have a privileged spot.
