Topic: IEO is not for crypto startups - page 3. (Read 635 times)
It is reasonable to assume such but I think there are exceptions in many instances. It depends on the quality of the project.A good project can reach some sort of arrangement with the exchange to get a portion of the monies raised on the platform or some percentage of tokens, locked over a certain period
Taking facts first. Not all starts up are poor
Some start up projects are very well self funded to reach their goal
Token sale is just a bonus and some don’t even have token sale
Ieos are for everyone
Provided your project is good legit and up to standard
I support your contribution.. Another importance of IEOs for fund raising in the crypto space is widespread distribution of nodes which is very important to maintain the integrity of blockchain projects.. Some start up projects are very well self funded to reach their goal

IEO like binance is not looking for funds because actually they already have a lot of funds so actually they don't really need capital from investors but because this is about sales and the community they have to do it so they can become a hype, therefore it's quite safe if we join the IEO like binance does because they certainly won't stop just because of lack of capital
IEO is actually for good quality startups because exchange performs proper checks, due diligence and verification of each aspect before listing a new IEO. Personally i like this and i hope exchanges will stay honest regarding quality aspect of a new startup before listing it.
In my opinion, IEO is not for crypto startups that are seeking funds to kick start their project but for projects that have raised capital already or have rich advisor and team to fund the project. Fund-raising through IEO can be very challenging for startups that need money to kickstart their project, because they will need large amount of money to conduct their tokensale on good exchanges, as this exchanges only list projects that meet their legal requirements and can also afford to pay their listing fees. So the best means to raise money or capital for new projects is to present their proposal to Venture capital firms or Angel investors.
if we don't know about how much exchange site was charging for ICO to listed and become IEO we can't create a lot of assumption about that. But that's indeed and i just consider the listing fees on binance which around 5 million dollars and with IEO binance maybe charge even more than it. But i never saw a real mechanism that already used exchange site about how its listing works. An ico like bcnex has already done to get the funds from angel but that platform still tries to get more finds through ICO mechanism.
I think it depends on how the qualification of the team to make it.
Some crypto startup may be eligible to use IEO to offer their coins based on the great concept that they have created. WIth the better concept, professional team, and also right strategy, why not? IEO is for every crypto project that will lead their project successful through this crowdfunding system.

IEO is for all the project that have the capital to pay for the respective exchange to launch the IEO fulfilling all the requirements quoted by the exchanges. There are good number of cryptocurrency startups that have been funded by big corporate firms, because they're known about the possibility of profiting through it in the short or in the long. Overall most of the IEO that has been done till date were from the large firms that already have a big community.
That is right the top exchange site offering IEO have their own requirement before approving new project if project not qualify then its simply deny but most of the time new project that launch in IEO have a good concept and reputation thats a reason most investor switch to IEO rather than to ICO which is most of the time becoming scam in the end of pre sale.
I'm pretty sure that most of the IEO that are approved to a popular exchanges somehow have that kind of good connection, outstanding developers portfolio or even better the funds.
I can't see ordinary project could compete with that therefore they hardly get into the stage of IEO listing, but guess what, that's not a bad news but instead a good news because that way any IEO will be a lot more legit than the ordinary ones.

Yes because top exchange site that offer an IEO made a research before accepting the project in their platform this is what CZ of Binance said so I'm sure most project that come from IEO have a good reputation and connection but it can consider a good project after all I agree from the fact that new project from IEO need a capital.
IEOs are becoming the new ICO for startups.
Positive qualities
Offers funding
Provides a larger audience for the project
Presents the token on an exchange during a funding round
Negative qualities:
Some are highly expensive
The exchange might have a falsified trade volume, concealing the true audience
The IEO might not generate the proposed funding
Exchanges often times do not check the legitimacy of the tokens they are listing
There are two sides of the spectrum, the conclusion is to always to your due diligence (research).

It is not always true that crypto start up cannot commence their fund raising process through IEO. Although most of the projects that go for IEO are usually established and well grounded projects who just need additional fund to complete their project. 
What can we expect? it's just another way of investing to crypto projects that is/are trying to conduct a token sale. The method is just different because it will go through an exchange and they don't have to endorse that much because the well known exchange is the one that will do the other task for advertising it.

True, if the project starts from zero there is no capital at all then it will not run to run the IEO in other exchanges, so each project must have capital from wherever it is funded, if it has worked with the company better.
if not, can startup makers only sell their token from ICO, ITO, STO? , in my opinion if they only focus there I am sure they will not get funding even if getting funds may only reach softcaps and not even reach, if they follow the IEO maybe their project will reach the softcap even projects that do not reach the softcap also have the opportunity to get more funds on the IEO

After I read the explanation that you describe here, I began to agree with the results that you described, but we can also see when the IEO takes place automatically the project will get additional funds through the sale of their coins, and this will obviously be very influential for the continuity of project development .
I think it can be used for startups and this can be an option to start and IEO. If the projects is good then the team should do an IEO and people will start buy it.
If the projects are really good then in this case it is necessary to run the STO. So investors will have a guarantee that they will not lose money (of course this is only possible in countries with strict regulation); when the token = digital share.
IEO it is an exchange tool for speculation.
OP,do you really understand what IEO means?
Here's some simple explanation:
https://cryptopotato.com/what-is-an-initial-exchange-offering-ieo-and-how-it-differs-from-ico/
IEOs are launched mostly by crypto exchange platforms.It's kinda self-explanatory that launching an IEO is more expensive than launching some crappy ICO.

I think you are partially right, the situation is exactly the same as you described but only in bigger exchanges and bigger projects, i now see smaller and newer exchanges conducting IEOs as well and they are listinv new projects, so i think if the project and team is real they can still raise through IEOs.
Investors do not trust in ICO, in my humble opinion, presently there is no way any new startup can use ICO model to raise fund and be successful, the new way start up can raise fund is IEO.
