Apex Innovation Ventures develops early-stage innovation companies. Participation ranges from consulting, co-development, to investment and operation.We help innovators find and develop the expanded resources they need to see their invention find fruition. This might be development support, talent acquisition, entity and intellectual property development, strategic investors, supply partners, or market partners. Our team has deep innovation experience and our ventures tend to reflect complex or difficult to achieve value models.Since 2016 we have added a crypto-economy valuation toolset that builds on decades of fintech, analytical and intellectual product development and evaluation experience. These include a quant model and an audit process that allows us to assess the value and investment requirements of utility-crypto offerings, particularly in scenarios claiming disruptive cannibalization of measurable markets. We expand on Burniske, including timing, supply, offer structure, assets categories, drivers of utility and adoption, factors affecting component value, market concentration, market novelty and cost positions, participant loyalty and savings drivers, and economic factors driving holding, leakage, and velocity. We present token value against implicit discount hurdle rates. We include measures of systematic and validated input factors (or surrogates) with quantitative univariate factor sensitivity and multivariate factor interaction, including MRTS, and Monte Carlo estimates model volatility. Our assessment includes qualitative drivers: white paper audit, offering structure, team constituency and engagement, tech development requirements, network traffic capacity, customer acquisition viability, build investment, and technology gaps.
