<h1> **Introducing ICO: What is WePower** 
This project hits two major markets: trading & energy.

WePower is building a platform that will allow trading for green energy. They want to connect green energy producers directly to households and consumers. Additionally, it will allow green energy companies to raise capital by issuing their own tokens through their platform.

The WPR token is the medium of trade for the WePower platform; so, the issued token is genuinely valuable.

<h1> **What is an ICO?** 
Crypto markets have developed far beyond the coin that paved the revolutionary dawn of cryptos. ICO stands for initial coin offering; today, new companies are launching their ICOs—a concept similar to an IPO in the traditional financial market—based on coin or token sales. 

The issued tokens and coins allow various benefits like stake in the company or the ability to utilize the service being offered.

While bitcoin, by market cap, is the reigning champion of the crypto-world, it’s likely it’s diminishing percentage of market cap would eventually lead to a complete dethroning from its current position. 

ICOs, like the WePower present a great opportunity to enter a potential powerful player in the crypto industry. As people are investing into ICOs like the WePower, bitcoin has seen a fall in its influence, value, and market cap and that money, effort, and interest has led to the age of ICOs. 



<h1> **What is WePower Worth?**
A company can be valued in many ways; 3 common ways are: 
-	Assets: You can value a business by calculating the new value of its assets; this isn’t a proper means of valuing a new crypto launch as a fresh business is in growing mode and is likely to have limited resources. 

-	Revenue: You can value a business at a multiple of its revenue; the multiple should be derived from its competitors or other industry players. 
This method is also challenging when valuing a crypto launch as most fresh launches have either inexistent revenues or have rvenues that are far, far from their true potential and it may take years before they even scratch the surface of the goliath they may be one day. 

-	Cash Flow: You can value a business by discounting its expected future cash flows. You can do this by dividing what you think a business may earn, on average, in a given year and then dividing it by a risk-free rate of return. 
I advise using established corporate bond returns (~3%) as an almost-risk free measure of return rather than T-Bills. 

I won’t give a figure to WePower as the answer to that can be highly speculative and a lot of positive of negative bias can seep in. WePower is trying to provide something unlike anything else. Finding estimates of what it will generate through a view of its remote trading or energy competitors might provide a heavy spread between potential valuations. 


<h1> **Where’s the Due Diligence?**
I have made this piece to reflect an unbiased view of WePower. I cover the essential information, the sector competition, the potential of WePower, the valuation based on information provided by the team, and curated pieces of data about the project. 

Generally, the conclusions individuals derived from due diligence analysis of crypt projects can be quite subjective. I want to avoid attaching subjectivity to this piece. Of course, given the fact that I am giving a thorough analysis of WePower, this project sparked my interest. But I’m not going to jump into the depth of its feasibility. 

You should definitely take the time to evaluate the project feasibility and the prime measures for this would be presented goals, industry potential, community interest, and the team’s competency; team’s competency is perhaps the most important factor.

It’s quite possible that your confidence or interest in WePower could genuinely increase after you conduct a due diligence. Additionally, conducting a due diligence is always advisable as it allows you to set aside scams from projects that could potentially be major players in their industry. 

The team is quite responsive and you can interrogate—ahem, question—them through their Telegram group, which is dedicated to ICO queries.

<h1> **Note**
As is the case with investments in any security or asset, you should invest in ICOs and tokens only an amount you are willing to lose. Investments in the crypto market are high-risk, high-reward moves and investor due diligence is imperative. 

<h1> **Watch Out**
If you intend to invest in the project’s ICO, be sure to utilize the official project website. As disappointing as it may be, scammers are rampant in the crypto market and many try to scam investors through deceptive measures by identity theft of project leaders and phishing measures. 

You should only contact official company social media profiles for your informational needs and queries, and you should invest in the ICO directly through the company website.
