EquityCoin Aims To Use Blockchain To Fund Affordable Housing

Irvine-based EquityCoin says it is hoping to use blockchain technology to help fund affordable housing. The startup--which has yet to raise funding, but is heavily promoting its crowdfunding efforts--says it was founded to both tackle affordable housing and a widening wealth gap using its own token. The company was founded by Akil Ash (Director of Technology), Michael McConnell (Director of Engagement), Jey Van Sharp (Chief Strategy Officer), Vernon J. (Founder and CEO), and Beatriz Durant (Director of Property Management and Sustainability). The company says in its crowdfunding campaign that it is looking to raised $1.0M.
