Iconiq Lab Onboards the First EOS VC ICO-VAEON Protocol

FRANKFURT, Germany, Nov. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Iconiq Lab, the world's first decentralized venture capital group, announces a strategic partnership with VAEON Protocol, the first ICO worldwide backed by EOS VC.

This partnership solidifies Iconiq Lab's already strong portfolio of startups including the likes of Unibright, Topl, Vlux and Solidified.

VAEON Protocol is backed by EOS VC, a business subunit of the developers of EOS blockchain technology, Block.One, through their joint venture with FinLab AG, a German investment firm and company builder specializing in the fintech sector. VAEON is a decentralized protocol that enables individuals to fully regain control of their personal data and benefit from its value while giving companies the opportunity to build new business models in an ecosystem free of any middlemen. VAEON is a self-governed layer 2 EOS protocol which clearly defines how personal data is structured, exchanged or sold.

"It's a pleasure to collaborate with the first ICO ever backed by Block.One, the company behind EOS. As a brand new addition to the highly curated quality startups of Iconiq Lab, VAEON has already started working with the Iconiq team to fine-tune their ICO strategy.

"The VAEON team, led by Andreas Mikolajewski, is extremely competent in their vision to build the infrastructure necessary for the transparent use of data; where users themselves are in full control of the monetization and usage of their professional, social, health-related and other types of data. The Iconiq Lab team is eagerly looking forward to collaborating further," remarks Iconiq Holding Managing Partner Max Lautenschlaeger.

Pedro Lopez, COO of VAEON Protocol, states, "We are glad to add Iconiq Lab to our pool of strategic partners. With this partnership, our connection to the venture and capital scene is enhanced. In addition, we are looking forward to leveraging the expertise Iconiq Lab has gathered with previous startups in the program."

The VAEON Protocol team has already begun the Iconiq Consulting track and recently participated in the Asia Blockchain Tour and Malta Blockchain Summit alongside Iconiq Lab.
