Relationships, whether sentimental or professional, are a difficult thing. The interaction between one, two, or more people is beset by personal traits, biases, and many other factors that only serve to further complicate an already complex issue.
To some extent, the internet has facilitated engagement between people, in a private and remote fashion. This is a double-edged sword, as such ‘internet relationships’ can be fake and unreal, a mere perception of a relationship.
While such issue is beyond the scope of this piece, what does matter here is the relationship part and how these relationships are formed and nurtured in the digital age.
IcebreakerAR is a brand new ICO that introduces a blockchain-based platform to help people establish relationships.
IcebreakerAR: from dating to networking, and every relationship in between
The ICO’s website states that IcebreakerAR’s goal is to “enable more meaningful connections in your life”.
The platform on offer here is designed to facilitate dating, networking, and group relationships.
It achieves this through an app (available both on Android and iOS), built on blockchain technology.
The platform offers even more value through its framework, which includes augmented
reality advertisement and partnerships with retail entities.
Our Dev's have been hard at work over the last few months and we are getting very close to being able to share our prototype! We will be debuting the prototype to the public at the @Blockchain_Expo in Amsterdam June 27-28th!

Competition
Dating is a common enough subject on the blockchain, with a few ICOs dedicated to
enabling such type of relationship. DatEat, Viola, and Rate Date among others.
This ICO will face direct competition from established dating apps such as Tinder, Plenty of Fish, or Match.com.
On the other hand, IcebreakerAR offers additional value in the form of facilitating networking and group relationships but it remains to be seen how, and how
often, will these aspects be explored by users.
Consult the IcebreakerAR whitepaper for more information about the platform, additional features and services.
Conclusion
IcebreakerAR is an innovative ICO with fresh ideas, and at its core, it is driven by a laudable idea. Fostering the establishment of relationships is a worthwhile endeavor, whatever the circumstances.
The issue here is that IcebreakerAR is neither here nor there, in terms of offering dating, networking, and group relationships. The entire concept may become diluted amid the choice, so it would perhaps be better to focus on one relationship type.
