My roommate just got hired for some webwork from what I think is an upcoming crypto and I want to get in early, but I am not used to doing research on new companies, and I think the forum is blocking my post when asking about the company by name, so that is not going to work. How do I start on the basic research on a company like that to see if I should invest?
Trying to jump on a big project before it gets too big isn't a bad idea at all but there are so many things to first put into consideration.
Maybe the reason the forum is blocking your posts might be because the forum is relatively unknown or you're asking the question in the wrong board.
I would've suggested you try searching the company name on other search engines, like Bing or DuckDuckGo. If you still can find more about the company then it means they're still very new and not yet known.
So you can try checking the company's website, blogs as well as their social media profiles, perhaps that way you could learn more about their services as well as their team members. Also try checking if their team members are active on social medias too.
You could also try looking at their whitepaper too, to know about the company's goals and plans.
Also try looking at crypto communities to see if there's anywhere the company has been mentioned or what people think about the project.
