Kuende

Social network space is extremely competitive already filled with major growing players. They are also developing gamification technology (and other techs) with much bigger budgets. So I doubt that this idea could grow as a successful business there. It is sure not enough to state that your project is "a combination of Facebook" etc. One needs to convince that can successfully compete or partner with them. And business planning info is missing in the WP.

Very commercial product, and the team has got pretty good funding to boot. Seems like a good application of blockchain. Will be following this project closely

Excellent team with very big staff and wide experience. It is visible that there is all necessary, but the idea old, not unique and I personally saw a set of projects with the similar ideas. To become real leaders of an industry huge resources, and return of investments into it will be required by a big question. Chances of course are, but I so far not really trust in it.

This project challenges the industry that has already saturated.
Better teams and better innovative ideas are required.
The team seems to be better, but the idea is not innovative.
Despite the presence of MVP, the price difference between softcap and hardcap is large, but it seems there is no rational explanation.

Love this idea. Shame the video seems to be down, it's not working. Great team. Solid whitepaper. I see this as a unique winner. Getting people off their screens to meet in real life is essential in an ever-increasing digital world.

Not a unique idea at all I would say, but the team looks solid and experienced. They will face a lot of competition and I am not sure if they will be able to deliver a good ROI to investors.

I like the concept of Kuende and it got a very good seed and pre seed funding round. I think Kuende has potential to be a viral app and have steady fast growth from there. Social engagement together with gamification and monetization always sounds interesting but it is also a challenge too.
There is a very experienced team & advisory board that can it become the next social platform. Good luck team!

Social media is a massive industry. Not only that, this company has already been seeded by $2.6million which is pretty good considering most projects start off as a whitepaper project but this already had previous investors in it.

The social media landscape is already a highly saturated market. It is going to be incredibly difficult if not impossible to convince users to switch to a new platform. The team is highly experienced with a huge staff. Business plan needs to be provided in the whitepaper.

VISION: An idea that is not unique and will certainly face large competition from other companies. I am unconvinced that a blockchain solution which requires users to manage a virtual token will incentivise people to socialise more offline. Other concerns include current industry leaders that develop this utility will have considerable advantages. 2/5

TEAM: A strong and experienced team that includes developers and multiple specialists. 4/5

PRODUCT: The white paper is very clear on the process though the sections for voting for a challenge seem particularly binary where I believe that a degree of flexibility is required when planning challenges. It is encoruaging to see an MVP though the real test will be acquiring a strong network. 3/5

This is not an invitation to invest. ICOs are risky and you can lose everything you put in.

Kuende is aiming to be a social media solution integrating online social platform features and real-world gamified content. The platform will offer different rewards to users, for creating challenges and participating in contests. They're aiming to bring us back to using social media for what it should be used for: getting closer together, instead of distancing ourselves from others. However, is this platform the solution to do so?

The team behind Kuende is very big and experienced in financing, business development, managing and the blockchain and crypto industry as well. The team has established partnerships with IPSX and with OneQube so far, but I feel a lot more are needed to get a decent word out for the platform. There have been more social media networks using blockchain technologie before and most of them could not establish a big enough user base to make the platform succeed.

Kuende already has fully functional and robust desktop and mobile apps. They have been in operation since 2016, unveiling their alpha apps for iOS and Android. In 2017 they released their beta builds for the mobile apps. According to the team they already have more than 60.000 users, and more joining everyday.

They have already reached their softcap of ~2.5M, but are aiming for a total of $17.8M (hardcap), with only 50% of the tokens available for the market. That would mean they see themselves as a $35M company, which I find too exaggerated.

Looking at their roadmap they are aiming to have the platform with all it's built-ins live in 2020, which is still pretty far away. I think 2019 holds the most for users (e.g. challenges and more) - so we will have to wait whether they have an established user base by then.

Idea is nothing new but the team has some solid backing by crypto funds which is a differentiator between them and competitors. This is a project to watch and see how the product develops and how they plan to compete or collaborate with existing social media networks

What impressed me the most about this ICO is the fact that they have a working platform with an earning system that incentivizes users to engage with content on the platform. It is evident that they have put time and money into development and intend on following through on the vision. Having said that, it is hard to fully grasp the enhanced offline experience that they are promising without seeing it in action. There are definitely other player in this space, but the biggest factor to determine the success of this project is execution and user adoption. If they are able to foster a community of active users in the same way that sites like meetup.com have been able to identify geo-specific groups, this can be a successful project. Not an original idea by any means, but it puts a unique twist on social media.

I must say I am impressed with the team and the project has real potential. I have read about previous ideas that tackle the same story line but none of them has succeeded. I have my doubts with regards to the business model but social engagement combined with gamified challenges can prove me wrong. Best of luck!

You can provide great products with a great team and from an idea which is not unique. HAving a unique product can be an advantage but having a product which is not unique but used commonly with a different approach is also welcome and can be a good product. So my product point is 4 for that reason to product. I believe that a crowded and experienced team provides a perfect vision on project, so summarized sentences and whitepaper is appreciated but I see a great potential on team about vision of project so I have hope about that. This is the explanation of 4 point for the vision. After all words about team I spent , there is nothing to say . But my last sentence is : Team is perfect so 5 points goes to Kuende for the team
