Pemo Theodore: "It gets straight to the point about who they are, what they look like, all the things that us humans need to know about another human that we're gonna deal with. If we can't see them and have no visual, particularly, moving contact. I mean, photos are nice, but really, video is quite profound in the sense of capturing more of who that human being is, and I think that really is what is helpful, both for the ICO company, but also, mainly, for the people that are investing in the ICO, so they actually know who it is rather than just the technology. Because, in the end, the technologies are amazing, and they are changing our lives, but in the end, it's all about people and relationships, and I think video is one of the best ways of capturing and containing that."

Pemo Theodore: "In the old days, the venture capitalists were the hot girls at the party, and everyone wanted to get VC, and now, a lot of startups have the opportunity to get funded by an ICO. There are difficulties with that, but generally, everyone's excited about it, so the problem, I think, is that it's very risky for people who are investing in the ICOs, and we would like to make that a little bit easier. We would like to sort of have the top 100 ICOs doing due diligence on them, and also, my big passion, as you know, is featuring people on video, because I think that the human face makes it easier to make a decision about trust or not, rather than just data or white papers, so we would like to have storytelling videos of all those ICOs, which I don't think anyone else is really focusing on at the moment, and I think we could be a site that, you know, investors would come to to make that decision of will I invest in an ICO? Whether they're an accredited investor or just an ordinary human being that wants to invest in ICO, so that's one of my big passions." For further info check out http://www.fintechsv.com
