Focus invests primarily in bitcoin ventures and projects such as
Counterparty, Factom, GetGems and NXT. A decentralized crowdfunding
platform, Swarm helps startups establish themselves as distributed
collaborative organisations (DCOs), allowing them to sell cryptographic
tokens to raise funds.

that suggested DCOs, where tokens are used to denote membership in an
organisation, were among the safer legal models for projects looking to
raise money.
