Welcome to our July update!

Korporatio aims to create a new generation of cutting edge, truly global businesses, led by entrepreneurs who are citizens of the world. A new era in which everyone is empowered to incorporate, innovate and realise their dreams.

 

GENERAL

The word to summarise July recap in simple is: mainstream. Korporatio attended two different events in two different continents. We improved the UX of the dApp for people not familiar with blockchain, launched a new jurisdiction to offer non-offshore options. And we started updating the website to make our message much easier!

 

 

DEVELOPMENT

When I started my first startup almost a decade ago, people around me told me one of the most important lessons I have ever received: “If users don’t get your product, there is something wrong with it.” It is easy to ignore such a simple concept. We have instructed  in multiple places from our website to social media that to test our demo, Metamask needs to be installed. To me personally, this was an obvious thing, as I’ve probably spent too much time in the blockchain world. However, messages asking if the demo was working didn’t decrease. It was time to find a solution! 

New Integration

Our community came to the rescue and proposed to integrate Portis into our solution. So, there you have it, all Smart Companies by the start of next week can be used with Portis as well. 

Why is this important? Well, Portis allows everyone to create a wallet directly in the selected URL. This means: 

  1. You no longer need to install an external plugin;
  2. You no longer need to secure all your passwords and private keys You can get into action literally in 10 seconds.

If you already are a Metamask user, the experience will still be the same as always. If you don’t have Metamask installed, a new pop-up will appear when you click on our Demo. From there, just insert your email address, select a password and that’s it -you are ready to go! 

Website 2.0

Regarding our new website, you can now see small updates being pushed every day. The images on the homepage got updated to match exactly our dashboard. A lot of improvements to make the website faster and lighter have been completed. SEO is still ongoing as every page requires special attention. We still have quite a lot to do as new pages are going to be published in the upcoming weeks. 

To create this new development, we have analyzed the majority of the requests that have come across through our website: 

  1. Where can I create a Smart Company?
  2. How much does it cost?
  3. Which type of payments to you accept?
  4. Can I migrate to a Smart Company if I already have a company?

Automation is important as well as being clear to what we offer. For this reason you can expect to see the majority of the new content around these topics. A solid FAQ page that should answer all your questions. An entire section dedicated to jurisdictions  where you will find advantages of specific countries. An online incorporation form with automated payments so you can create your Smart Company even when we are sleeping. 

The final update of the development section comes from the blockchain community. Metamask has released their beta mobile app. Their team went a step further and integrated a browser to run dApps via mobile devices. Yes, you got it. Smart Companies can be run and managed completely on-the-go without the need of a laptop from now on! Our UI is not ready for it yet, but we were able to run a few tests and everything works as it should on a desktop. We will have to put some work on creating a proper UI for this. 

 

JURISDICTIONS 

July 2019 will be marked down in history and here’s why: we launched in Wyoming!

If you haven’t followed what we’ve been up to in the past month (don’t forget our Twitter or Linkedin) you have probably missed our newest jurisdiction. We have finally opened in the US market and in particular, in the State of Wyoming. Lulu has written a detailed article about it, so if you are curious of setting up a Smart Company in there, give it a ready and let us know how we can help move your forward!  

The initial reaction was amazing. People who have been following us for months got in contact the same day to set up their Smart Companies there. It is incredible to see how the community is following our journey, really, thank you! 

Last month I explained a bit more of where we are going with the new countries. So, if Wyoming is not your cup of tea, neither Seychelles, Panama or Saint Vincent nor  the Grenadines, hold on. We have more pilots running in the background. 

 

MARKETING

July has been a very intense month in the marketing department as the first half of July the team was divided between Italy and Hong Kong for two different events. 

The first event was in Florence at Piazza Toscana. We had the chance to meet a lot of cool people working in the tech scene and some old friends from back in the days. We got some good attention for our product and companies were interested to collaborate Market-fit is essential for a startup and gaining feedback about our product is key to us. 

The second week was dedicated to RISE. It had been a few years since I was in that city, therefore I was quite excited about it. RISE was extremely productive for us. We had the chance to spend some time with our friends and partners at Blockpass. I had the pleasure to meet the team at ECOMI, and finally see their product in action. 

Our product received a lot of attention and we were surprised about how easy it was for people to just get it. All the follow-ups are going to take weeks, but we are on it. In general it was an amazing experience, if you get selected to be an ALPHA , give it a shot. To learn more about our experiences, we published a full article about the conference this year, especially to those of you on the fence.

Moving away from the events, online marketing hasn’t stopped. We just passed 800 followers on LinkedIn. We wish to reach the 1,000 mark by the end of the year, and it seems possible. And last but definitely not least,  a big thank you to Sean from Hardforking for the amazing interview. We got fantastic match with the team and  are going to create some new things together.

So thank you for reading our July 2019 update!
