REASONS TO INVEST

Reasons Icon

BIT has trained senior executive teams from many world-leading organizations including the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), Ernst & Young, The Central Bank of Curaçao & St. Maarten, and The Ministry of Economy of Mexico among many others.

Reasons Icon

The global blockchain market is predicted to grow from $7.18 billion in 2022 to $163.83 billion in 2029, but there is a major lack of resources for certified professional education and certification in blockchain and related technologies – such as cryptocurrency, NFTs, Metaverse and Web 3.*

Reasons Icon

Blockchain Institute of Technology has received a federal trademark for education services and certification to train and provide verified certificates in blockchain technology.

Since Our Last Raise

  • At this moment, we have more than 170,000 students from more than 190 countries enrolled in courses and certificate programs developed by BIT, up from approximately 100,000.
  • We have launched in Spanish and are currently expanding into multiple additional languages.
  • BIT has created and published multiple new courses focusing on high growth areas including NFT's, Metaverse and Web3 with additional courses and certifications in the works.





the pitch

While the blockchain and cryptocurrency markets are growing exponentially, there is a global shortage of talent educated and certified in the job skills required for the jobs that need to be filled. This is resulting in thousands of unfilled jobs, as there are not enough skilled workers in the field to meet demand. Blockchain Institute of Technology (BIT) is the world standard for blockchain education and certification, with more than 170,000 students from more than 190 countries enrolled in courses and certification programs developed by BIT. We provide high-quality, internationally recognized, credentialed education and certification in blockchain and related technologies – cost-effectively and at scale. Our mission is to empower the full potential of blockchain by expanding access to professional training and certification in the technology.









Overview


Unlocking the Full Potential of Blockchain Through Education and Certification



Demand for experts in blockchain has never been higher, but until now, the industry has lacked a standard education and certification process. Our scalable, effective online courses and training provide a federally-trademarked, internationally credentialed and recognized blockchain certification in order to expand access to this essential new technology. As our customer base grows and we continue to scale, we are ready to become a worldwide standard for blockchain education.



The Problem


Lack of Skilled People in Blockchain Technology is Leading to Thousands of Unfulfilled Jobs, and Unrealized Annual Revenues

In 2020, blockchain was the #1 job skill sought out by employers, but there were only a very limited number of credentialed education and professional certification options to help train talent in this highly demanded area. In 2022 and beyond, the need for educating and certifying blockchain professionals is even more necessary as blockchain, cryptocurrency, NFT, Metaverse and Web3 startups are competing against traditional firms for the limited talent available, and hiring is accelerating at companies with thousands of new blockchain and cryptocurrency jobs being created, all looking to hire from the insufficient number of skilled candidates available.



This shortage of talent skilled in blockchain and cryptocurrencies is having a negative impact on businesses looking to capitalize on the opportunities presented by these fast-growing markets.


According to a Korn Ferry study titled, "Future of Work: The Global Talent Crunch", it is estimated that by 2030, there will be a global human talent shortage of more than 85 million people, or roughly equivalent to the population of Germany. Left unchecked, in 2030 that talent shortage could result in about $8.5 trillion in unrealized annual revenues (Source).




The Solution


Fully Credentialed Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Education and Certification 

We address the needs of our customers by developing and offering professional education and certification solutions in blockchain, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency that combine the following elements:


  1. Scalable, effective online courses and training delivered anytime and anywhere.
  2. Hybrid online/offline training, certification and content options that can be customized to fit the needs and schedule of any organization.
  3. Professional certification examinations with accompanying third-party credentialed certificates with a holographic, counterfeit-proof seal, recorded, and third-party certified on a blockchain to avoid fraud and tampering.


By leveraging these elements, BIT is able to deliver fully credentialed blockchain and cryptocurrency professional education and certification at scale, while prioritizing quality, time, and budget for our customers.


Anytime, Anywhere 

Unlike many other education and certification providers, BIT's educational offerings and digital certificates can be delivered over the Internet anytime, and anywhere. As part of our constant strategy to improve the systems of business to perfection, and a way to further extend our reach and effectiveness, we have developed and made globally available the "BIT Meta Campus", an online education option delivered on the Metaverse.


*The above graphic depicts a computer generated image of what Blockchain Institute of Technology's BIT Meta Campus looks like in the Metaverse.


Each certificate issued by BIT is recorded on the blockchain to assure authenticity and can be verified independently for accuracy. All certifications  and educational materials have been reviewed and are approved and credentialed by Foundational Technologies Institute, a third-party, international professional credentialing organization. 




Enthusiastic, Growing Customer Base

There have already been more than 170,000 enrollments in courses and certificate programs developed by Blockchain Institute of Technology, from students in over 190 countries.


In addition, we have developed and delivered corporate trainings to senior executive teams for the following companies and organizations, among others:


  • Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae)
  • Ernst & Young
  • The Central Bank of Curaçao & St. Maarten
  • The Ministry of Economy of Mexico



The Market


Supporting an Explosive Market with Massive Global Impact

The global blockchain market size is expected to grow from $7.18 billion in 2022 to $163.83B by 2029, at an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 56.3% (Source).

By 2030, PwC predicts that blockchain technologies could boost the global economy by $1.76 trillion, and Citi estimates that the metaverse economy could be worth $13 trillion (SourceSource).

Hi George, there seems to be a discrepancy in the terms for the "Ultra Early Bird" Bonus. It says, "Invest in the first 48 hours, get 20% bonus shares" - but it also has the 'countdown' as "6 DAYS 7 HOURS 6 MINS 15 SECS" - Which one is correct? The first 48 hours or the first week? Please advise ASAP. Thanks. Blessings

Hi W Kim Colich, Thank you for your message and your question. Let me clarify... Regarding the countdown, the clock that says "6 days" was correct as we have not officially launched the campaign until Thursday January 12th and you arrived on the page prior to that launch. We are currently in a pre-launch period and since the page is live, we are offering the "Ultra Early Bird" bonus rate to any investors who invest prior to the official launch on Thursday. The "Invest in the first 48 hours, get 20% bonus shares" is a time limit which applies to when we launch fully on Thursday. The Ultra Early Bird will expire after 48 hours from that official launch on Thursday. Thank you for your interest in BIT and wishing you many blessings as well :-) Best, George Levy

FAQS

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.

With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.

At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.

Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.

Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.

Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.

Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.

Investing in private company securities is not suitable for all investors. An investment in private company securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. It should only be considered a long-term investment. You must be prepared to withstand a total loss of your investment. Private company securities are also highly illiquid, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop for such securities. Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. This includes obtaining additional information about the company, opinions, financial projections, and legal or other investment advice. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment. See additional general disclosures here.

StartEngine Marketplace (“SE Marketplace”) is a website operated by StartEngine Primary, LLC (“SE Primary”), a broker-dealer that is registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and the SIPC.

StartEngine Secondary (“SE Secondary”) is our investor trading platform. SE Secondary is an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (“ATS”) operated by SE Primary that matches orders for buyers and sellers of securities. It allows investors to trade shares purchased through Regulation A+, Regulation Crowdfunding, or Regulation D for companies who have engaged StartEngine Secure LLC as their transfer agent. The term “Rapid,” when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace, specifically refers to transactions that are facilitated on SE Secondary, This is because, unlike with trades on the StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”), trades on SE Secondary are executed the moment that they are matched.

StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”) is a bulletin board platform on which users can indicate to each other their interest to buy or sell shares of private companies that previously executed Reg CF or Reg A offerings not necessarily through SE Primary. As a bulletin board platform, SE BB provides a venue for investors to access information about such private company offerings and connect with potential sellers. All investment opportunities on SE BB are based on indicated interest from sellers and will need to be confirmed. Even if parties express mutual interest to enter into a trade on SE BB, a trade will not immediately result because execution is subject to additional contingencies, including among others, effecting of the transfer of the shares from the potential seller to the potential buyer by the issuer and/or transfer agent. SE BB is distinct and separate from SE Secondary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. By contrast, under SE BB, SE Primary assists with the facilitation of a potential resulting trade off platform including, by among other things, approaching the issuer and other necessary parties in relation to the potential transaction. The term “Extended”, when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace denotes that these transactions are conducted via SE BB, and that these transactions may involve longer processing times compared to SE Secondary for the above-stated reasons.

Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on SE Marketplace, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.
