Crowdsourcing Global Investigations Will Disrupt Private Investigations Industry

Smart-Contracts Between Detectives/Clients

Private investigations, cybersecurity, and security solutions are often needed urgently, but who to turn to? A Google search or getting help through a contact might be the obvious answer, yet you never know who you are getting, especially if big agencies or people in the middle are involved. It is unclear too if the “professional” you get is accurately billing for their time and service and if the needed results for your money will ever arrive. What if there is very little money to begin with? What to do?

Enter Gotem.

Gotem is a decentralized blockchain platform to search, source, and fund specific missions primarily related to private investigations, cybersecurity, and security. It connects those in need with a network of private investigators, cyber detectives, and private security professionals and contains the ability to crowdfund for missions directly. A user-based review and rating system also ensures an environment of trust and provides built-in incentives towards the clients’ best interests.

Gotem utilizes smart contracts. Funds are held in escrow with a nominated third-party mediator acting with the client and professional in a voting system that ensures the fair release of funds when evidence of progress has been submitted to all parties. The Ethereum open software platform is used to conduct transactions through its native GTX token and a permanent and public ledger contained in the Blockchain is always available. Case management, communication, payment, escrow, smart contracts, and the reputation system are all contained within the platform. Legitimacy and transparency all built-in.

The platform requires all users detectives to adhere to local licensing requirements in their screening process. Where licensing regulations are absent within countries or corruption exists, Gotem provides an online space to build a community of legitimate professionals to serve those in need. Aside from investigations and security, Gotem is also available as a platform to source and fund humanitarian causes and has the ability for associated agencies and individuals to engage together to enact change processes within local communities.

Gotem is in its start-up stages and has recently launched a beta version allowing users and detectives to sign up and even post missions live to the platform.

Crowdsourcing Investigations as a Hedge Against the Growing Pandemic

Gotem enables humanitarian crowdfunding solutions. And with around 21.8M confirmed cases worldwide, countries are taking measures to contain it by limiting flights, locking down cities, and prompting people to self-isolate. Italy has been hit the hardest with more than 40,000 confirmed cases with the death toll exceeding that of China’s. The governor of California also recently ordered residents to stay at home except for essential outings and ordered businesses such as bars, theaters, and gyms to close.

With the larger outlook of the virus often being the focus, the most vulnerable are often forgotten. The homeless, unable to self-isolate, and elderly people over the age of 60 and with pre-existing health conditions are particularly vulnerable. In the UK, food banks, serving an estimated 14 million people, are currently running low on food and volunteers and are unable to serve people with mental health issues, single mothers, and persons with disabilities. Lost wages too by those already in poverty mean that fixed costs like rent may not be able to be met and shortages also exist globally in terms of medical equipment and supplies. In these trying times, many are willing to embark on campaigns to help those in need, yet where are they to turn to raise and coordinate funds?

The Gotem platform coincidently launches this year as the pandemic ravages the world through a global lockdown. Just when crowdfunding and social distancin become a necessity. Gotem is also an all-in-one stop for communication among various parties and includes built-in decentralized smart contracts, payment management, and escrow systems that may not only benefit individual causes, but more complex and coordinated efforts where agreements need to be set and payments released at certain milestones. Gotem arrives as a resource for fundraising and campaign coordination during the global crisis.

Gotem also leverages technology in the campaign process. Smart contracts over the blockchain ensure security and transparency and funds are coordinated to be released via a voting system that may include pre-agreed multiple third-party mediators. Gotem also operates via cryptocurrency in its native GTX token allowing causes to extend both locally and internationally and it accepts debit and credit card pledges and payments.

Even though the crisis is hitting those most vulnerable, Gotem may provide local and international solutions to individuals or it may be a means for agencies to fundraise and to manage various stakeholders. Everyone deserves a chance during the global outbreak and a chance to make a difference.

Gotem is in its start-up stages and has just recently launched its beta platform to allow to users to sign-up so to begin growing its ecosystem.
