To date, we have developed a platform that has helped over 15 000 individuals access investment opportunities that would typically only be available to the top 1%. In order to continue our mission of democratizing access to alternative investments, we are looking to involve our community more closely in the development process.
We have received multiple requests for certain investment management tools across our various communication channels to enhance the experience of being an Invictus investor.
We are proud to announce our Community Developer Program, guided by the feedback received from discussions and surveys with our community. The purpose of the program is to engage with technical members of our community to fund the development of tools by the community, for the community.
To start the process, we sent out an email survey last week to find out what features the wider community would find most valuable. The top features voted for were:
- A portfolio tracker (62%)
- A tool to swap between funds (55%)
- An investment accounting tool (48%)
- A feature to compare performance between funds (44%)
Based on these results, we’ve set out a grant scheme below for each of these features.
Grant breakdown
We have listed below the features with a short description and an estimated grant per item. This is a very basic overview of what would be expected and we encourage you to use your own ingenuity to design something innovative and exciting.
Please note this is not an exhaustive list and we are looking forward to receiving additional ideas and proposals outside of that described below.
You may have noticed that we left out “a tool to swap between funds”. We are currently engaging with liquidity providers (centralized and decentralized) to make this happen however, if you have an idea you would like to share then please submit it to the email address below. Apart from the ideas listed above, if you have other great technical proposals you would like to share with us please submit those to our address below.
Submission process
Before you embark on your development, please first submit an outline of your idea to the community developer program address — communitygrant@invictuscapital.com — for approval. Included in your submission should be a basic description, a list of features and functions, the proposed tech stack, your CV and a budget estimate.
Half of the grant will be paid upfront and half upon the completion of agreed upon acceptance criteria. We are only currently looking to fund one feature per category but we will relax this condition if the submission is exceptional.
In order to move forward quickly with the proposals we will require that submissions are made before Friday 10th July. Thereafter we will be making our selections and communicating the next steps with the chosen projects.
Good luck and we looking forward to receiving the proposals!
