Cofound.it, a distributed global platform connecting startups, experts, and investors worldwide, has announced that its CFI tokens will begin trading on the Bittrex exchange on Monday June 19 at noon PST.

CFI was recently sold out in an historic pre-sale before the public crowdsale. The pre-sale, offered exclusively to Cofound.it’s most engaged supporters via its Priority Pass mechanism, raised 56,565 ETH (or $14,859,059 USD) from 1,521 supporters worldwide. The record-setting pre-sale cemented the Priority Pass mechanism as a crowdsale best practice, Cofound.it said.

CFI tokens grant innovative startups and world-leading experts access to the Cofound.it platform's advanced technical tools and features.

“The Cofound.it community’s tremendous support made CFI the first-ever token to sell out in a pre-sale period before its public crowdsale could begin”, Cofound.it CEO and Co-founder Jan Isakovic said. “Cofound.it is delighted to announce today that those supporters that missed out on investing in the crowdsale can participate in the token ecosystem via our partnership with Bittrex. As CFI remains in extremely high demand, Cofound.it recommends supporters act quickly to avoid disappointment.”

Cofound.it said that it is assigning crowdsale funds to its initial platform development and strategic regional outposts of Cofound.it. Regional subsidiaries are expected to be established in Europe, the Americas, and Asia.

“Bittrex looks for innovative blockchain technology and business models and we’re excited to welcome Cofound.it’s CFI token to our world-class cryptocurrency trading platform. Bittrex traders expect a portfolio of only the most cutting-edge digital tokens, and CFI is an excellent addition to the carefully curated selection that we offer”, Bittrex CEO and Co-Founder Bill Shihara said.

The first projects soon to launch through Cofound.it’s acceleration program are crowd sentiment data platform Santiment, stable fiat currency-backed token X8currency, and Musiconomi, an expansion on the platform built by the Musicoin Project. Each project will use Cofound.it Priority Pass to kickstart their crowdsales.

“Cofound.it would like to thank our supporters as we move into the next exciting phase of our development and begin launching other innovative crowdsale projects via Priortiy Pass. The Cofound.it ecosystem is poised to become the world-leading marketplace and incubator for crowdsales”, Jan Isakovic said.

Cofound.it will announce additional exchange partners in the coming weeks.
