The first application of our company’s tech and legal
architecture are “Equity Tokens” which enable
companies to conduct regulated offerings on
Blockchain. Being at the legal and technical frontier
Neufund advises governments on DLT regulation,

ABOUT US

3. WHAT ARE SECURITY TOKENS?
1. A key trend in 2018, after utility tokens disappointed in 2017.
2. Represent an underlying asset.
3. Compliant and fully-regulated.
4. Technologically-enhanced assets.
5. Represent enforceable rights - issuer has an obligation and faces consequences for
underperformance or breach.

4. SECURITY TOKENS PRESENT A MASSIVE OPPORTUNITY
● Global equity market capitalization was approximately $80 trillion as of 2017.
● The total value of ‘non-investable’ real estate assets is $136 trillion, according to Savills.
● Together, NASDAQ and NYSE have a combined market capitalization of $30 trillion.
● The World Economic Forum predicts 10% of the world’s GDP or approximately $8 trillion will
undergo tokenization over the next ten years.
The market cap of security tokens is projected by some to reach $1 - 10 trillion by 2020.
“The NASDAQ got to $5.4 trillion in 1999, why shouldn’t crypto assets be as big?”
Mike Novogratz, Head of Galaxy Investment Partners, Billionaire and hedge fund manager

7. ABOUT
EQUITY
TOKEN
OFFERINGS
● EQUITY TOKEN OFFERINGS (ETOs) are a novel way of
fundraising, which allow any kind of company -
blockchain-based or not - to issue Equity Tokens on
Blockchain in a public or private placement.
● An ETO is a hybrid investment model combining the
advantages of an IPO, an ICO, and a VC round.
● It is a quasi-IPO on Blockchain.
● ETOs can be conducted by any incorporated entity
worldwide (currently excluding USA).

8. WE TARGET INVESTORS AND ISSUERS, LARGE AND SMALL
I N V E S T O R S I S S U E R S
Institutional investors: venture capital, private
equity, corporates and family offices
Professional investors: high net worth
individuals, angel investors
Retail investors: most of us who want to invest
in the same great opportunities as the experts
Companies from across the globe
Visionary companies involved in technology or
technology-related fields
Seed-stage to late-stage ventures looking to
raise capital in the 7-9 digit (€) range
Typically non-blockchain companies
Over 3,000 investors from more than 90 countries have already registered on the platform, and we have
received hundreds of applications from potential issuers.
8
9. NEUFUND IS A DECENTRALIZED TOKEN ECONOMY
● Whoever invests on the
platform becomes an
economic co-owner of
the platform.
● Neumarks (NEU) are
generated every time an
investment takes place.
● NEU is an investment
reward for contributing
to the ecosystem.
9
10. EARLY INVESTORS ARE MORE INCENTIVIZED
● Early investors are
rewarded with a higher
amount of NEU.
● With every € invested,
fewer NEU will be
generated.
● NEU are limited in supply
and will be issued until €1.5
billion has been invested on
the platform.
10
11. OUR BUSINESS MODEL
● NEU token holders are entitled to a share of all platform revenue streams.
● For every NEU token an ETO investor receives, Fifth Force GmbH receives a matching amount.
● As platform operator, Fifth Force GmbH owns approximately 50% of NEU tokens in total supply.
PLATFORM FEE (3%)
After each successful ETO, a platform fee
is deducted from the invested amount
(ETH and nEUR) and distributed to NEU
token holders in proportion to the amount
of NEU they own.
TOKEN PARTICIPATION FEE (2%)
Within the same ETO, a token fee is deducted
from the total number of equity tokens sold.
These tokens are added to a portfolio of all
companies ever to conduct an ETO on the
platform, which NEU token holders own in
proportion to the amount of NEU they own.
11
PLATFORM REVENUE STREAMS
12. OUR BUSINESS MODEL ﹣ FLOW OF REVENUES
12
EXAMPLE SCENARIO:
● Company A conducts an ETO. Company A
raises €10M and issues 20M Equity Tokens
● Platform Fee: €10M * 3% = €300.000
● Token Fee: 20M Equity Tokens * 2% = 400.000
Equity Tokens
● The Platform and Token Fees are distributed
pro rata among all NEU token holders
● As Fifth Force owns approximately 50% of all
NEU tokens, Fifth Force receives €150.000 in
cash and 200.000 Equity Tokens
13. Built on the Ethereum blockchain. A set of protocols for
enhanced ownership. An ERC-20 compatible & open-source
technical environment lets anyone create and issue
legally-binding tokens with a different set of features, such as
voting rights, dividends and information distribution.
● Legally-binding contracts: We create a legally
enforceable bridge between off-chain assets and
on-chain tokens anywhere in the world.
● Asset agnostic: We create protocols that allow
creators to build an entire ecosystem of applications
on top of them.
● Open source: We work towards making all of our
technical and legal efforts open source and open for
contributions from our community.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
13
14. OUR LEGAL ARCHITECTURE
● A paper agreement is generated at the time of the on-chain transaction, and shareholder rights are embedded in the
token, i.e. smart contract agreement.
● Both the smart contract and the legal contract are cryptographically hashed and identical, i.e., code represents the
same rights as on paper.
● In order to prove that the transaction took place, the investor can show the paper agreement (e.g., in a court of law).
14
15. OUR LEGAL ARCHITECTURE
● All equity token holders are represented by a sole nominee in an issuer’s cap table.
● The nominee is contractually bound to execute the will of the token holders as expressed via a smart contract, and
it performs a purely bureaucratic function.
15
16. An interaction system through which people (or smart contracts) can create and issue new tokens via a token sale or tokenize
existing off-chain assets.
OUR PLATFORM
User-friendly interface: Easily invest or
issue legally binding tokens in a safe
environment. Designed with different
users in mind, including first-time
blockchain users.
Built-in KYC/AML: Designed in full
compliance with European Anti Money
Laundering regulations. Our KYC saves
the verification status on a public ledger.
Easy blockchain wallet setup: Thanks to
the Light Wallet implementation investors
can easily create a universal blockchain
wallet using Neufund’s interface.
Built-in post-issuance governance
system: Depending on the type of assets
and token holder rights, the system can
manage voting processes and information
distribution.
