Investments in Blockchain Information Management Systems Based on Business Angels’ Criteria

Blockchain technology bears an enormous potential to revolutionize markets and economies. Previous research studies on investments in blockchain technology were carried out as part of the paradigm of investing in speculative assets without focusing on the launch of the blockchain at the company level. Currently, there is no scientific basis for properly evaluating the investments in blockchain information management systems that help managers and investors in the decision-making processs. Authors assume that the evaluation/scoring model for investment in blockchain information systems, based on business angels’ investment criteria, is the solution for this market. The study’s research problem is that the vast majority of the stakeholders do not look at blockchain investments through the paradigm of investing in blockchain information management systems from the company perspective. The research aims to identify the main groups of investment criteria for blockchain investments and create a theoretical framework based on the literature overview for further analysis.
