This is the first episode in the series of interviews with the founders of blockchain companies.
Our first guest is Amir Kaltak, a co-founder and CEO at Lexit.co, a marketplace for selling intellectual property, built on blockchain technology. It lets people sell their IP and find buyers, and it lets buyers get the best deals.Lexit aims to solve the problem of access to the world of M&A (Merger and Acquisition), which is an estimated $700bn market. As millions of businesses are being formed and disintegrated each year, buyers and sellers have a very hard time finding each other and negotiating fairly.The idea for creating Lexit actually came from the experience of its co-founders, Amir Kaltak, Denis Raider and Maija Majamäki, who have been serial entrepreneurs for over 20 years. When they were searching for opportunities to sell their previous companies, they ran into very complicated M&A processes, and decided to solve the problem using blockchain technology. They have been working on Lexit for the last two years, and now have some interesting partnerships in place in Europe, North America, Asia and other regions.
How does Lexit work?
Lexit is a distributed network of independent assessors and matchmakers, which makes the M&A processes four times faster than they are now, and decrease the costs for about 25%. To facilitate transactions and make the deals fast and transparent in this very specific marketplace, Lexit also introduces its own token LXT.For those of you who want to get involved, on February 28th, 2018 Lexit will distribute 2% of the total LXT token supply among interested community members via public airdrop.
