Topic: Fund raising through an ICO - page 2. (Read 669 times)
Can and maybe already many do it. But the problem is whether the company really needs it. Because otherwise the possibility will be counter productive and not in line with the existing system.
Of course it can be, the main entity of ico is crowdfunding. This is then a problem because now everyone can create their own tokens.
Is it possible for a company to raise funds through an ICO even if it is not a startup? 
For example: Say company X manufactures chocolates but now it wants to further expand its operations and needs funds for it, can it opt for ICO instead of a Private Equity fund or a Bank Debt?

I think it will be great. Because in this case ICO will be very popular for the investors. Because you can be sure that behind the token existing something real.

But also I think - ICO should be regulated the same like a IPO.

It's a great idea that any company can start with ICO rather than starting a business.
They need money to develop their projects, and it is easier to raise money through it than through other means.
This kind of thinking is why governments are regulating icos, many people instead of creating their own businesses or trying to develop their projects on their own are just starting icos trying to get as much money as they want and then run away with it, and while I do not like regulations I understand very well why we need to regulations because some people are taking advantage of investors. They need money to develop their projects, and it is easier to raise money through it than through other means.
I think it can...............seen many ICO's who were scam with no product raise millions of money, but it would be better if it adopts blockchain tech and prints coins that will be used in some use in the particular field it is, that's how you pay back investors
ICO stands for Initial Coin Offering. So, before the chocolate company was to raise an ICO project then the first thing they did was to make a token. and the token benefits are not just for creating ICO projects but they can also be used to buy chocolate in the chocolate company.

I think it is possible to raise funds through ICO specially if the coin are acceptable to the market and the project become successful. It more easy and you can raise more than enough funds than a private equity fund.

In order to have a successful ICO you need to create token or coin, have a website for ICO, whitepaper or business plan and a lot of marketing activities (bounty campaign, twitter, facebook, youtube, telegram, etc) to draw traffic to your website.
These things cost money, time and effort. Please do some research first and calculate carefully how much capital you need to have an ICO.
If you could come up with the capital needed for ICO, think again. Would you invest that kind of capital into ICO or use it directly to expand your existing business?
And please be cautious while thinking about it.

Yes it is possible that an already established company can just launch an ICO to raise funds. It is even possible for an individual that have no existing business before to launch an ICO so what more for an already existing company. It would even attract more attention to the investors especially if that company is already reputable. Some example of these companies are telegram and Kodak.

They are already established company but still they launch an ICO. They may want to expand their operations as what you mentioned and wanted to integrate blockchain technology as well. There may be a few companies now but as time goes by, more traditional companies would transition to blockchain technology as they see the importance of it in their business operations.

It CAN, this is what really ICO (INITIAL COIN OFFERING) do to businesses.
they are launching their own coins or tokens to have fundraising and get into a good business.
But of course you need to dish it out and make it a better platform to do for the people have interest in your future business.
There are too many shitty ICO's by "companies" (often they only have an idea in the form of a whitepaper and a team) that don't really need a token but just want to jump on the blockchain/ICO bandwagon.
I think a company should only do an ICO if they really need a token and blockchain, not just as an easy way of funding an idea.

It is a good idea to create an Fund raising through ICO. But you need to become expert in crypto first.
Because all your decision will affect the performance of your ICO and it should be attractable, so that all investors will invest on your project.
Creating an ICO is not that simple, so always think twice or thrice before making any move.

If the goal of the company is to have a platform and form of payment for their product then yes ICOs are a great way to raise funds. However the company must adhere to what they have promised in their whitepaper and road map, because ICOs are intended to have a decentralized platform with the use of a token/altcoin in exchange for their products. So in case that the company is just raising funds to save their company then the investors in the ICOs will just badmouth it and the ICO will not push through.
It is entirely possible to do an ICO. Keep in mind that users should have some return on their investment i.e your token/coin If you're able to convince that part, then go right ahead
