Nobody knows that. Your tokens price can grow x3-5 during first weeks or dump x3-5 from ICO price during first day. Even best projects that reached hard cap can't give any profit guarantee.
I think it depends entirely on the projects. while the new coins will depend on bitcoin is unlikely we will see profitable projects while bitcoin falls in price.
How long does it take for an ICO to be profitable?
There are various cases. Everything is very individual. There are projects that immediately give a good profit and there are projects that need to keep a long time to earn.
There is no exact time to make ICO profitable. Sometimes it takes more than 6 months to one year. Sometimes it takes only one to two months. Like Docademic, maybe the biggest profitable ICO till now of 2018! Every investor is too much happy. And, other ICO like Amon Card Wallet, Copytrack ICO, they took already 4 months, and investors are still regretting. So, there is no exact time.
How long does it take for an ICO to be profitable?
The main problem is that most ICO projects are never profitable at all. Few percent of projects bring profit to campaign participants in volume as it was declared in whitepaper. All others projects unsuccessful.

Usually the good projects show it very soon. They are some decent projects that will take a little longer than expected, but it won't be too long, but by the time the project hit the exchanges have to have idea where does it stay.
It depend on the project roadmap. Imagine a project that has about 2years time before lunching the actual product, it means after the token is even listed on an exchange it will be valueless unless 2years time
Actually most ICO's are profitable once they reach an exchange, obviously not all of them do but right now if you sell fast, any ICO that reaches an exchange is pretty much going to be profitable even if it's just a little.
It all depends on the type of project you invested on if you invest in good ICO with a low supply and also very popular in circulation. You will expect to make profit by the time it hit the exchange market .but if you invest into the wrong type you should expect the opposite.
There are so many IFs involved.
But IF:
- there is a need for the product, AND
- the team have the necessary skills, AND
- they market the product successfully, AND
- they have a successful TokenSale, AND
- no other project beats them to it...
Then it will take as long as, but probably longer than, their Roadmap indicates.
The closer they get to their hard cap, the more likely they will hit their roadmap timings.

Are you a a project owner? or just simply a an investor because on the way you asked things ICO would be profitable on either both ways which for investors and into the project owner itself. We talk first about on investors then risk is still there where your invested money would gain some profits in the end of the sale and hit up on exchangers because there are instances where the price of token do significantly decrease when it hits up exchanger.
If the coin is good, it won't takes long before it became profitable.
Sometimes it just takes a few months to become profitable. But if the project doesn't good enough, it could takes years or maybe not at all.

How long does it take for an ICO to be profitable?
It all depends, on how popular the ICO is and how good and revolutionary the project is and the team behind it, which will lead to more and more people interested in it, which will make its price go up, and the more popular it gets the faster it gets listed on exchanges, and the faster you will be able to get your profit from investing it it, but you should know it is better to hold and wait for it to go up even more especially if you are investing in a really good and popular one. 
Most of the time, ICOs that hasn't have any platform or they start from scratch tooks three to six months to see the profit. Since this kind of ICOs is an idea at first, they may extend up to one year but if really do the analysis and if their idea is feasible I believe somehow the paitence will be worth it.
It depends of many factors...in primis the success of the project, then the community that support it, then the realization of roadmap ...
How long does it take for an ICO to be profitable?
After the new token is transferred after the end of the ICO to the exchange, it usually falls in price. Rarely, which token after the appearance on the exchange shows a steady growth. I somehow watched data on how the new tokens behave in price after they appeared on the stock exchange. After they are downgraded in most cases, they tend to recover in price in six to eight months, after which they themselves begin to grow. Of course, this depends entirely on the particular project. Sometimes on a project, after certain events, tokens begin to grow earlier or later than this time. Of course, many tokens after the appearance on the exchange fall in price and never rise again and leave the market forever. This is a natural process.

its depends on the development on the project, you can see in their roadmap
if the roadmap run in schedule the price will growing for surely
It depends on the ico, some ICOs give 2x profit just after they are listed on exchanges while some of them can stay below ico price for months, it is important to choose good ico not to suffer after.
it could happen if after the ICO's ends the token can listed and tradable in the market . but it is back again on the project roadmap itself. if not yet the time of listing the investors also have to wait according to the roadmap made by the developer
There are many factors that affect to be taken into consideration, it actually depends on the market strategy of the project team, the project roadmap and also the product of the project itself. This can not be predicted, some ICOs are profitable immediately it hit exchange, and some can take years.
Many factors affect the profitability and prospects of ICO. Time is not the most important of them. This forum has a lot of information on this. As a matter of fact, I will briefly say, study the project team, white paper, road map, etc. And you will have an approximate understanding of whether the project will be successful or not.

There is no ETA for that and it can't be predicted. FYI how profitable ico depends on the development. all of the developments go smoothly and it will be so easy to attract more and more users to join in it. This will push the price going up because basically, everyone will be rushing to buy that token as fast as possible. The key is the more good news and then more supporters will come.
Some promising project has already profitable when it was released.
How long does it take for an ICO to be profitable?
It seems to me that a good and popular ICO needs a month to collect a solid amount of money and start successfully. But in such a situation in which the crypto market is now I think the project will take two months to start successfully.Naahhh, It depends how to deliver they're roadmap or to successfully launch their product. I saw a lot of ICOs who sold out they're crowdsale but not delivering their promise to the investor. Two months? it is not enough to gain profit, you will need to wait at least 6 months or more than that. If you wish to have a more profit than you expected. For me long term investment is one of the best strategy.
I'm a dime for the WAX I waited 2 months and it fired X20!! I was very happy, after that I began to invest in various ISO hope there will be a good profit!

Yesterday saw a similar topic. This is a very random theme. There are no certain factors guaranteeing greater profit or profit in general. Even projects that have collected huge sums of money with a good team and an excellent plan with a high probability can go to a long drop.
How long does it take for an ICO to be profitable?
As many others before already told you, it heavily depends on the ico.
When and if you invest you should be aware of the current ICO status - do they have a working product or they dont which will show you have long you will have to wait.
Depends on how good the project is and how the tokens have been distributed. If high amount of rewards where distributed among users who did not invest but completed some specific tasks, then the chances of price falling initially at a greater rate is actually high since most of the users will have an urge to sell their free coins. So it might take some time for the price to recover and be on a profitable level.
Businesses naturally thrive in direct proportion to the level of value they bring to the table and how many people are actually aware of the value they carry hence the huge sums of money companies spend in advertising their products. It totally depends on value and the level of awareness.
Possibly after the release of the token to the exchanges and after a few months it is possible to sell them at favorable prices 
There is not fixed amount of time that is needed for a project to develop. Some ICO need more time than others. Still most good ICO will show good progress in the early stages.
It may not even be profitable, you have to choose a nice project, with some luck, and wisdom included, and than you may can earn some good profit within some months.
I do not risk and do not wait, I sell tokens at the end of the ICO because they usually do not cost anything at the moment when the participants of the bounty begin to actively sell the tokens accrued to them
Whether ICO can make profits does not depend on the time it holds. This is related to the project you invest in. Usually a good project can be profitable immediately after entering the stock exchange. The longer you hold it, the more likely you will be profitable.
I think 3 months would be enough, from my experience of participating in campaigns, some and half a year is not enough.
Man, it depends on concrete project u wanna invest to. The average amount of time cant be said. A month most efinitely lol U gotta wait for it more.
It depends from ICO. If it has really good product or service on which there is a demand it will be profitable for a long time coz it has space and ability to grow.
Depends on what type of ICO did you support, almost ICO takes around 6 months. Latest I just participated in SciDex’s community program. It's a great project and i very excited about it's ICO.

I think that for a long time crypto projects will be very in demand and will not lose their relevance. This is a unique opportunity for both investors and developers.
Just as long as it takes for the team to get their coins listed on exchanges and even after that you might have a bit of a wait because the coins might go down a bit in price when they get listed and so it will take a while for the price to get back to normal and start growing. So basically, as long as it takes to get to your goal and make a good profit
How long does it take for an ICO to be profitable?
And who will answer this question? We are not in the best position to answer your question as we are not part of the project team. It may take months or years, it all depends on the seriousness of the team and how viable the project is.
How long does it take for an ICO to be profitable?
this really is a good question, but it depends on a lot of different factors, consolidated business plan as its development scale, the staff, ...So no one will be able to accurately answer you, only the people who created the new project predicted quite accurately it.
Depends on what type of ICO did you support, since even good coins can't be predicted how fast and how progress things will happen with certain project,
If you are aiming for bigger gains then I might say if you are holding usable ICO tokens then better to keep it minimum of 6months then see how the progress will take, if your coin is really usable from this industry then you will expect a big gains after.

How long does it take for an ICO to be profitable?
Its hard to answer it, some ICO will profit immediately after end of ICO, some ICO take few months, some take 1 - 2 years. It all depend on team, project, their product and support from their community.
It also come from the exchanges they are listed. Some exchanges like Binance, Bittrex can make ICO to be profitable after listing on with huge big volume of trading, big numbers of traders. Therefore, all ICO want to be listed on Binance and its not easy to list on big exchanges immediately after end of ICO without products.
how do you expect this to be answered?
it entirely depends on the ICO, if you invested in Ethereum at $0.5, it didn't take very long before you made good profit.
if you buy into an ICO selling bananas, you probably won't be making any profit
