Wozniak further made it known that:

Founders of EQUI Global
In a statement from Wozniak,
Baroness Michelle Mone and Douglas Barrowman, both EQUI Global’s co-founders, were greatly praised by him for their previous actions towards the advancement of blockchain technology adoption through supporting new innovations.
The duo was said to be behind the now-defunct EQUICapital ICO. The ICO was only able to raise about $7 million, comparing this to the projected amount of $80,000,000, the ICO was tagged as a failed one. This led to the creation of EQUI Global, and now the partnering of Wozniak.
The joining of Apple’s co-founder is expected to help drive more attention to the company.
