Concept Name

High Concept Statement

Platform to manage and track cryptocurrency investments with end to end encryption

 

Status Quo

There is an influx of individuals of all backgrounds (experts, investors, inexperienced individuals, college students, etc.) purchasing cryptocurrencies. There is a lack of ability to sync and manage investments conveniently and across different devices.

 

Competition

Currently, customers primarily use Excel and/or Blockfolio to manage cryptocurrency investments. Blockfolio is an app that offers cryptocurrency management by manually inputting any investments that have been made onto the platform.

 

Solution

Pinecone would sync data across phone and desktop/web application, including end to end encryption. In addition, it would include APIs to give users the option to automatically pull their investment data from different exchanges.

 

Revenue Model

Premium subscription that would provide users with enhanced / additional features
