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. Their roadmap doesn't span past 2019 and even if their idea could, none of their statistics has sources or citations and so it's difficult to tell. There have been no (...read more)
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. They hype a 2.5m doctors database and populated their website with a huge team and media coverage.

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.

Many other projects are pursuing similar ideas, but so far none has been able to legally associate the ownership (...read more)

Although the company behind this ICO is long-standing, they've never had any involvement in any technical industry and certainly not in blockchain or crypto.
