Timing is worse for ICO lately due to market condition. LANEAXIS seems good project and hope raise enough to finish complete platform.
As this has raised the soft cap already, there's no worries on that part. In fact it's better for investors if it isn't oversold, so it don't have to keep insane marketcap but there's more room to grow.
Hard cap is anyway quite high and will be difficult to reach in this time. Softcap is reached and they will surely collect some more money in main sale so they'll have enough to develop their platform.
It's just better for us investors in a short term if we thing about speculative value. Real value comes always in time and for that it's better that the ico funds are enough for everyone's salaries etc, so the firm can run even without profit for a while.
Not just technology projects, all projects pretty much. It of course depends on the industry and a lot of other stuff, but usually no project starts bringing money from the beginning.
