It isn’t just the company’s operating arms that set Block One apart from the pack. Strategic corporate actions and a methodical approach to building its leadership team are core fundamentals that investors are taking note of.
Access To Capital: 10 Million Reasons For Retail Investors To Pay Attention
Late last year Block One increased it’s financial strength and closed on an oversubscribed private placement of $10 million! This raise was conducted at $1 (higher than where the current market is right now. One can only imagine why private investors would put money into a company at a premium to the market. No savvy investor takes a loss on their investment and in this case, the potential that blockchain technology have, could be two major catalysts to propel Block One.
As of March 2018, shares of Block One are trading below this level and if investors were ever looking to have an advantage over larger, private investors, there are probably 10 million reasons why now could be one of the best times to be looking at Block One (BKPPF) (BLOK.V)
Leadership Dictating A New Pedigree for the Blockchain Industry
Block One Capital has made several key additions to its leadership team. Larry Johnson and Scott Carotenuto have come on to the company’s advisory board and based on the wealth of innovative leadership that both Johnson and Carotenuto hold, Block One could already be well positioned for strong growth.
Mr. Johnson, for instance, has a wealth of experience in security systems and operations. He worked in the Directorate of Operations and served in the CIA’s Operation’s Center. Johnson has provided Subject Matter Expertise in scripting terrorism exercises for the U.S. military special operations forces. Since 1994, Mr. Johnson has analyzed terrorist incidents for TV, radio, and print, including the PBS News Hour, CNN, National Public Radio, ABC’s Nightline, NBC, the New York Times, and the BBC.
Scott Carotenuto’s extensive carrier includes specific work in the fintech arean; a vital role for the future of blockchain technology. He has held senior positions with various firms including AXIOM Global Trading, which ultimately was diversified by his launch of AlphaPlus Technology Group. AlphaPlus oversaw more than $1 billion in client assets. He also currently advises companies on projects and transactions involving alternative and emerging markets, blockchain technology, securities trade strategy and routing technology, trade data algorithms, ATS, crossing network and exchange technology; a perfect fit for what Block One has with its current operating strategy.
The strength of leadership goes without saying when it comes to Block One’s management as well. Mr. Sothi Thillairajah and Dr. Pratheev Sreetharan serve as company CEO and CTO, respectively. Mr. Thillairajah was a Managing Director at Revere Capital Advisors in New York City where he formulated and executed capital raising and business development for early stage companies; ideal for a company like Block One Capital especially during these early stages.
Dr. Pratheev Sreetharan is highly proficient in mathematics and computational algorithms and has broad background across many technical and scientific fields. His experience and research driven approach are a welcome addition to any technology company, let alone one involved in the blockchain technology space.
Rounding out key additions to the company’s leadership are Arnold Spangler and Aman Thindal who have joined the Board of Directors. Both have key experience working in length with numerous aspects of the markets including financing, investment banking, and advisory services. Thindal, in particular has also served as a public officer on other companies including Reliq Health Technologies. At a previous venture, Thindal helped a private real estate firm secure $75+ million in both traditional mortgage and private equity financing. So obviously there is no shortage of experience aiding to the new opportunities that are being presented for Block One Capital.
