Steve Wozniak becomes co-founder of crypto powered tech fund Equi Global

Apple Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak today announced that he has become the co-founder of EQUI Global, a technology-focused venture capital Fund combining the conventional principles of investing with a crypto backend that allows value to be realized and traded in the open market through the EquiToken.

The EQUI fund is both open-ended and liquid, allowing investors the opportunity to sell their EquiTokens on external cryptocurrency exchanges at a time of their choosing. As co-founder of EQUI Global Steve Wozniak will head up technology investments. Woz will then bring them to the table and the board of serial entrepreneurs will mentor and coach them with expertise and guidance.

While being aimed at sophisticated investors, the new, powerful investment movement that’s being created allows people to become involved in a ‘non-institutional’ way. The key thing is that investors can buy into the Fund and then trade out through the liquidity created by the EquiToken because the token infrastructure is built using the Ethereum platform.

Up to 80 percent of investment by EQUI will be in technology companies with the balance of 20 percent being in non-tech assets, such as real estate and investment collectibles such as art and vintage cars.

The team has an exceptional investment track record behind them and will be able to attract the budding start-up stars of tomorrow (not just start-ups) on a growth trajectory – the new Apples and Facebooks of the world – before they become famous.

Businessman and philanthropist Doug Barrowman, founder of EQUI Global has achieved considerable success for over 30 years in the venture capital industry. Doug was delighted that Woz has decided to become the co-founder of EQUI.

Steve Wozniak describes what he plans on bringing to EQUI:

“We are the teachers and I believe in that so strongly because, Apple was strongly mentored. The enjoyment we had, the passion, starting the company, the excitement, it’s the most exciting thing. I like to see it happen for others and just to be a part of being able to help make it happen for a lot of others out there is going to be a big deal for me. I think I have an important role and I can help a lot.”

Entrepreneur and Global speaker Lady Mone OBE, co-founder of EQUI said:

“Woz has always been my business icon and it’s a dream come true to be working with him at EQUI”.

Steve Wozniak concluded:

“We’ve already got over 20 businesses that we are looking at and we haven’t even officially launched yet.  It’s going to be very exciting. Ultimately, our mission is to seek, support and fund the blockchain and tech stars of tomorrow.
