Investment Highlights

REQ promises many use-cases, but widespread adoption in every vertical seems unlikely. To succeed in each vertical – invoicing, payment request, auditing, accounting, etc.– REQ will need to disrupt saturated markets with crypto and non-crypto players. In addition to facing challenges from powerful incumbents, REQ development and marketing teams may be spread too thin before realizing their full promise.

REQ nevertheless offers a simple but unique use case: agnostic invoicing infrastructure. Although REQ is building its own online payment system, the real opportunity is the platform where others can build their own apps.

Clear value prop: Given the complexity of setting up smart contracts, we believe REQ's simple developer interface will be key in driving real-world adoption going forward.
Competitors: There are a number of competitors, both direct and indirect. OmiseGO (analyzed in February's monthly issue) and Coinbase Commerce seem to be the most direct competitors. Much like today's online payment ecosystem, we don't believe this will be a winner take all market. There is enough market share to go around to have a number of large winners, depending on where certain tokens choose to focus (remittances vs. requests for payments) or by coin (i.e. Brainblocks for Nano). We worry that REQ is trying to do too many things for too many people, and may ultimately fall behind the more focused players.
Massive market: Payments is a massive, multibillion dollar market. Depending on where REQ chooses to play, there's a wide discrepancy on the expected rate of adoption. For example, it's easier to tackle remittances since it can be as simple as one-to-one requests, whereas auditing will be much tougher given entrenched interests and eagerness of incumbent accounting firms, especially Deloitte, in developing and deploying blockchain solutions.
Adoption: We believe their partnerships to date and the launch of their $30m development fund is the right approach to getting independent developers on the platform, although it may stretch the core team too thin across development, marketing and investment initiatives. A wait and see approach is best to determine the quality and adoption of apps developed.
Community: One of the strongest feats about REQ is its vibrant community. For a $167M coin, REQ boasts 30k Twitter & Reddit subs and 12k on Telegram. Management team: Although their acceptance in the YCombinator program is a testament to the quality of the team, we believe they lack relevant experience in the verticals they want to pursue (accounting / auditing in particular).
Dilution ahead: Circulating supply of 663M vs. a total supply of 1B. The rest of the tokens are tied up as future equity or early backers / strategic. Despite the natural deflation as a result of "burn", investors should expect some dilution as supply of tokens is released.
