Overview:
Virtual Rehab is built around the idea that Virtual Reality can assist with pain and emotional therapy. While this has earned them a variety of accolades, the road to turn it into a viable product and profitable investment is long and bumpy.

About this ICO:
– Unaudited ICO
– No IFSS
– New company
– Overhyped
– Weak premises
Overview:
MediConnect aims to reduce the problems of overprescription, counterfeit medication and addiction. The fact that they are a small company with limited backing makes this goal unlikely.

Their Managing Director and founder is an ex-footballer (...read more)

Overview:
ICOCoinLab's premise is very simple: they will help other companies arrange and run a successful ICO.

The company have an extremely weak incorporation, massive hard (...read more)

Overview:
Social Chains' project lacks depth and sincerity. Their team is non-existent on paper, and their proposed budget isn't realistic for the platform they have in mind.

Overview:
Medicohealth envisions the creation of a world database of medical data, accessible to doctors worldwide.

The team behind Cryptolancers envision a platform for freelancers that uses its token as the primary form of payment for services offered.

Overview:
The team at MenuBuzz envision the creation of an app that will revolutionise dining, offering customers the ability to purchase food and beverages with a simple app that converts their cryptocurrency to fiat currency for the vendors.

Overview:
Global Property Register envisions the combination of blockchain and AI technologies to revolutionize the global real estate industry.
