Seal

I like this idea, and team is very strong with early investment. The challenge is go to market strategy and how to partner with big brand. Also lack of service roadmap at profile. Looking forward to see a prototype.

I do not think this product will have any adoption as it only adds additional cost to manufacturers. You will never stop counterfeiters as long as people continue to buy counterfeit products. Those who buy counterfeit products dont care.
I do not believe this to be a good investment.

Great team! Good luck guys!

Seal could be one the best project I’ve seen this year! I look forward to watching the progress and success of this team. Good luck guys!

Supply chain is a hot area of Blockchain development - largely being tackled by behemoths like IBM who has done some massive deals in China on tackling counterfeit pork and meat coming in from Australia and New Zealand. It's great to see more projects coming out of of the Blockchain startup scene. Well done! Good team. Nice to see an ICO project coming out of The Netherlands. Good luck guys.

Good idea , but as with all good ideas it is competitive and time to market key. I like the hard cap whihc though may be a bit low , its positive though to be able to say that . Partnerhips key and woudl like to see more industry players on advisory who could get in doors of customers . Door openers are key to get traction, but overall like company, team but execution will be key

good project . best of luck team

Good team and excellet vision and prodcut, it could be shared and used from the crowd and that'impressive!

This is the sort of idea for which blockchain was made. Therefore this is a logical play. These guys are not the only people aiming to do so though.

So a lot will depend on their execution and ability to differentiate from competitors.

Good crew. The authentication problem is still actual, and solution which is provided by team is effective

Overall a really interesting product concept that has the uniqueness factor that will make it differentiated in an ICO market becoming increasingly saturated with financial services offerings.

Distribution agreements balance the lack of product at this stage, as sales triumphs everything, and having an international presence will stand the team in good stead. Get us an an alpha, and then this idea could do really well.

I couldn't find anyone on the team with blockchain experience. The closest I found to blockchain was blockchain evangelist. I have also found week presence on bitcointalk (only one thread with little interaction.) The telegram channel looked better with close to 1000 users. Hopefully this will improve closer to pubic ICO. Generally idea is good, but we need to remember that system will require immense physical infrastructure to be implemented and cooperation of various brands in various jurisdictions. Good luck.

Clear Solution to a Problem. Large Market and Outlined go to market strategy. No Rocket Science product though.

Logical implementation of blockchain technology, good vision and a hell of a work ahead. Would've been better to have a strong list of partnerships and a running product with real clients, the business in highly competitive.

Solid in planning, I particularly like how they sell only part of the tokens now and keep the reserve for 3 years - this is realistic planning for the unknowns of the future (unlike most other projects that think only for today). Space they're aiming at is a proven use case for blockchain, and the company seems like fairly well position to take some market share. Don't see it as a Unicorn, but they are serious about making it a viable business, which is good enough to deserve support.

Awesome vision and idea that applies to the entire retail sector, this potentially solves a huge problem.

I don't currently see how they are able to pull it off with their existing, mostly local team, that explains a lot of vacancies. Also the product is just an idea for now.

I was very excited about this project when i first heard about it. The team has postponed the Presale and ICO on a few occasions. Based on telegram chats, team is very inexperienced with the ICO process. Please add some advisors to assist with your launch. I still feel the product and vision is great. Could potentially be the Vechain of North America and Europe. That being said, you will need strong partnerships with top tier brands to implement the NFC chips and relationships are key to making this successful. I hope it works out well as i would love to see this product succeed and to stop counterfeit goods. This project is a few key partnerships and advisors away from mooning, in my opinion.

Pros:
+ Promising vision and idea/real-world application of blockchain; starting budget
+ Good initial partnerships/memberships; clear roadmap, architecture diagrams and tech descriptions (however, might need a technical paper/documentation in the future)
+- Claims to have a working version of the product on both Android and iOS, but no easy access to the demo

Cons:
-+ Website is slightly confusing, doesn't follow usual ICO single-page design (not necessarily a disadvantage, but there could be an FAQ section, token distribution graphics, tokensale information more visible and accessible, etc. to improve content presentation)
- Decent team and advisors, but lacks blockchain experience
- Strong competition

Good team is in place but they are entering into an aspect of the market that already has some significant competition.

It will be really difficult to execute the same as the consumer segment on target doesn't care too much whether the offered second hand product is fake or real. The companies will be least interested as they would rather focus more on first hand product sales through their official channel partners only. So execution and gathering customers will be a real challenge.

There are multiple companies solving the same problem. It’s completely depends on the execution of the team. Most important thing is time to market and partnerships with brands.

Good project and team. High competition. Good luck in the "struggle" with IBM

Great project but there are a lot of competitors in this area. Tracking of products is very important. It will help a lot of people. There should be also a control mechanism to check if your chips are genuine. I think there is a possibility to cooperate with our service.

Please improove your benchy profile. Roadmap is needed and links on Github and Reddit. Your overal score will be higher.

Good luck!

Seal is a decent project which promises something which should have been offered before. Glad that someone finally decided to do to exploit a fundamental advantage of blockchain and also solve a plague!

Vision 5/5

What they want to build is awesome and with practical world usability. If they can achieve it, it will be awesome. Presently, there is a couple of competitors but none as complete in their aim as Seal is. Bringing Trust in a Trustless System.

Team 4/5

I am not a fan of advisors because most of the times, they hardly do anything. Coming back to the real team, I have found them confident, approachable and with lots of answers for difficult questions. However, I see no lawyer.
If they add these, I will surely improve my rating here.

Product 3/5

Like I say in my every review, this is the tricky part. However, I couldnt find a roadmap on the website. This is alarming. If I have missed it, please respond to my review and I will be happy to increase my rating.

Update: I was informed by the team that the roadmap is on the whitepaper, which upon checking, looked promising. Changing my rating to 4.

ICOBench should do something about this. Most ICOs raise funds to build the product. How can one rate a product when its not built! A product, at this stage, is merely a vision, which is, again, another judging criteria. Please consider @icobench.

Best of luck to Team Seal!

Strong team, and their vision aligns with my interest regarding implementing Blockchain solutions. Curious to see more about how they will build business development partnerships and go-to-market.

A great team with a strong product. My only issue is the hardcap.

We need more of these, good concept!

Dutch company. The Dutch are great businessman. I think the concept has lots of merit but there are several similar projects in the crypto sphere so there will be some competition which is good. The team looks strong but not a lot of blockchain experience. I see Seal is already looking for the required personnel to beef up their Dev Team. No Road Map posted yet, but I would imagine we’ll see one soon. Social Media and community are small at this point, but it looks like those campaigns are just getting started.

Team: 3 Vision: 4 Product: 4

The ideas stated above are of my own opinion and is not financial advice. I am not a financial advisor, and this is not a place for the giving or receiving of financial advice, advice concerning investment decisions or tax or legal advice. These ideas and strategies should never be used without first assessing your own personal and financial situation, or without consulting a financial professional.

Great idea, great team and thought through concept. Looking forward to it. The main question, however which automatically comes up with this is, what kind of impact and to which extend will this have on the world market.

While the ICO Team needs to provide more information on their offering, a study of their product would show a limited use.

Their promise is a verification works if brands would join in their platform and then it adopts the company's "Seal Chips." And then this should be rolled out in retail stores. This presents a classic scenario where we company must show that they have incoming partners already. So far, the ICO has not yet sufficiently done this.
