After recognizing the opportunity for small businesses to connect with a growing currency system, Geneviève has brought cryptocurrency to small businesses and their communities in the form of Geneviève Exchange (GXE) and Geneviève VC (GXVC).

Geneviève will launch a token sale on January 20th, 2018, offering 62.5% of GXVC; 34.5% of GXVC will be reserved for early-stage GXE investors who partook in the pre-sale. Geneviève VC has a total supply of 160,000,000 tokens, of which, 3% will be retained by the team. All GXVC attained through the token swap will remain locked until the completion of the sale. The token sale is scheduled to conclude on February 25th.

By adopting smart money principles, Geneviève will fund business ventures globally to catalyze growth, offering GXVC as a medium of value exchange and as a storage of economic value. Such adoption, coupled with a limited token supply, will result in valuation premiums, furthering Geneviève’s investment capacity. Investment returns from ventures will facilitate token buybacks, reducing the supply, further inflating the price. Geneviève is confident that the upcoming token sale campaign will facilitate realization of our ambitions to build such an ecosystem. Dividends will be distributed quarterly to GXVC token holders.

The Project

Access to funding for small enterprises in less economically developed and newly industrialized countries is extremely limited. Banks often charge large interest premiums and use inappropriate loan assessment criteria to businesses in such localities. Traditional venture capital organizations often employ stringent criteria, which are rarely met by small organizations. After recognizing the opportunity for such entities toconnect with a growing currency system, ​Geneviève Co. has brought cryptocurrency to small businesses and their communities in the form of Geneviève Exchange (GXE) and Geneviève VC (GXVC).
