Success factor is dependent on project vision. What makes one project succeed might not work for  another. Different projects different success story especially when there's competition in the market.
I think ico now can not collect even the soft cap , and it is unlikely that ever ico will already collect large funds, it is better to give preference to ieo.

Switching to use IEO as a fundraiser could be a good option to go with since some peoples find it hard to directly trust the project themselves. Its not that there is much like a major difference between ICO and IEO but I think scammers operating behind a project has somehow played a role in IEO's success.

Right now there are very less people who still like to invest through ICO's and its for the best when we are dealing in crypto world.

Legitimate experienced team, market potential, idea, working product, size of the company, etc are some of the success factors of an ICO. Check out BWN, their products, the market potential, you will understand what I am talking about.

The success of an ICO depends on the idea, market potential, the team, execution of the business plan, the trust between the investors and the company, and other factors. If you conduct events almost every week (like Bitwings does), the trust factor will rise for your company. However, conducting events require deep pockets.

Are you just limiting your research to ICO alone. There are other forms of fundraising, such STO, IPO and IEO, where IEO is the trending fundraising system, which a lot of investors feel safe to partake in, although, it also has ts own risks.
So, I would like that you clarify, if it's only limited to just ICO.
If yes, you can also broaden the scope of your work to other parts.
Just an advise.

If you recall what opportunities the investor had in 2016, the volume of income was very large when the investor invested in ico companies, taking into account bonuses and price increases after listing.  The whole situation was spoiled by scammers who used ico to enrich themselves, deceiving investors and stealing their funds.  I understand that today it is IEO that gives more guarantees, but compared to them, the ico project is a competition for me.

At present ICO has begun to dim with the IEO platform. But not all ICOs fail. there are several ICOs that are still successful today. All depends on the project being developed. If marketing is good and makes investors believe, then the project can be successful. IEO does not guarantee that the project will be 100% successful. Moreover, IEO is only listed on a small exchange.
But if the investor has a choice then they will be more inclined to choose IEO investment as this is an investment that can benefit their profits if the project is listed at a big exchange. I think the ICO now no longer attracts many investors because those projects do not have liquidity guarantee, so we have to wait a long time. I personally like the freshness of this market and are always looking for the latest IEO projects to invest
I also agree, IEO is indeed preferred for now, ICO is now different from the previous ICO, many investors have been disadvantaged by the fake ICO which led to SCAM. Currently the latest IEO Project also continues to emerge, if listed on a large stock exchange has the potential around 90% to succeed.

Then if you use your logic,,, it is not project vision rather, execution of marketing and promotion. What works implies there must be a strategy to make the ICO successful, and let us not be kidding ourselves success is not measured by how many people know about it but how much investors put into the ICO.

hate to say it but the fact is like that, that ICO's current reputation is really very bad, they produce junk coins and some of them disappear without a trace. The developer doesn't care about his project anymore, they leave the user as if they are on vacation.

Factors that support the ICO can achieve success and that during my experience is a clear road map. I always see that they have a very active social media account. Like Telegram, Facebook and Twitter. They are always active to promote and provide the latest information on project development. And usually, they also run exactly according to the roadmap that is already planned by the ICO project. Don't forget you also have to have a team, an experienced developer, a good partner.

Maybe 90% of crypto people don't believe in ICOs anymore. You can stand a lot of measure of how ICO can be a success, but people always will avoid investing in a startup ICO project. Because ICO investing is not profitable at all, It's like you invest in Ico? You lose. I have a lot of examples from the last year to now.
I agree and exceptions don't break the rule. Only few projects were able to reach the soft cap way back to 2017-2018 but not all of these projects were useless. The market situation dictates the rules for the new projects and only strong teams are able to survive under the crashing market conditions, in the general financial market.
They could only survive from the crashing market if their devs never wanting it to happen with them as they care about the future of their project. Many ICO's dead thats because nobody cares and let that thing happens to them.

What the ICO success factors are they committed to their works and it has a working product which investors could see it and will could believe that this is for real and not a joke just like the other projects did.

After the halving, the market situation can change to the positive side but the old mentally traders will rush for selling at the higher prices which affects the successful ICOs too. Profitable traders look for better trading opportunities but they also consider the new ICOs which can make a decent return on the investment rather than trading in the volatile crypto markets.

You can see for yourself the current level of success of IEO and you make it a factor for the success of ICO in its heyday.
However, why ICO is now abandoned is a study that you really need to do research.
It's simple.99% of the projects did not meet the expectations of investors.Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the teams that raised money and did not provide anything in return.

I was participating in 4 ICO's in 2017-2018 but too bad for me three of them is an exit scam project. After those bad experience that ive been through another form of fund raising was surfaced in the crypto-sphere these time its IEO, unlike ICO, initial Exchange offering or IEO was more secure in terms of fund handling because it was done on the exchange platform, thats why it was acting like a escrow service. Im trying to participate in the one of IEO's at a trusted exchange but the tokens offered was sold out in just minute, out of 6k who participate in the IEO only 1600 people was successfully bought the token, I was amazed the hype that the IEO bought to the industry and for me it was unprecendented to happen. for me the ICO and IEO success factors are from Marketing and promotion a strategy for creating a hype! project's purpose and product availability was only second factor to me.

I think that ICOs are no longer a matter of great concern to investors. However, I always evaluate the ICO through information about partners, goals and project developers. Besides, the project community is also very important, a large community would probably be better.

I think the success of the ICO has ended in gaining huge profits, very few ICOs so far have only focused on getting profits for themselves, for me it is no longer suitable for investors to join, there are only a few pure ico in developing it. success needs to be an active and transparent development that has an experienced team and definite support
We cannot conclude that it has ended finally we might be having some challenges right now which was caused by the influx of scammer that infiltrated the ICO industry, but we can't because of that give up completely on the very good ones that are available, and the developers can also not because of that give up on showcasing their projects.

In every eggs that is in a create of basket, there would always be a bad one which normally, you may not know until you get to break it, but there are some people that has developed a mechanism which you can use to know the good one, so all we just need to do is come together and start thinking out of the box on how we can chase these bad projects out and how the scammers can also be dealt with.

I really no longer believe in ICOs, even if it is a potential project.
In early 2018, I invested in the Current project, which is one of the hottest projects of the year and was managed by the Amazix bounty team.
but after 2 months of operation, the token sale of Current was successful and then they banned investors from chatting in Telegram. So far, it has been almost 2 years but they still postpone the distribution of tokens to investors for various reasons even though the business is still doing very well!

Yes I invested in some which I don't know what's going on with them again as I was forced to abandon it because the team made a joke out of everyone. The truth is, I can't invest in any ICO now not when IEOs are still doing good. ICO era is gone and most upcoming projects have seen it and now opt for IEOs; the good thing is, good exchanges select IEOs which they believe will be a success thus adding to their integrity to attract more. This is one of the reasons IEOs in most exchanges are still doing well.

Not always an assured thing because no matter how transparent a site is,you cant still be sure that they would get the sufficient support from the community.
It will always matter on the project utility.If it do have some realistic goals which is appealing to the public then it might have a chance.Imagine that most top alts in the market
now doesn't even had that real life usage but still able to pull out itself into the top spot. Success will vary on how the team works hard for a new innovative ideas rather than on copying others idea which we have seen on how rampant it is on the current market. Transparency is one but it wont really be that enough if the project idea isn't that good enough.

ICO has lost the momentum and the trend has shifted to IEO. Most capital that were raised from ICO were not utilized to develop the project and in return failed. A lot of people have lost valuable money on ICO. Team background and experience does not count any long as many of them with sound knowledge failed to meet up with the roadmap and deliver accordingly.

ICO success factors is a lot, support from it's community is the main thing maybe. And developer itself. But for me Success of ICO if in market already reach ICO price or higher. About investor profit or not, it is depends on what they aim. When it reach ICO price, it can considered success and investor actually already can take profit with it. If they want higher profit, it is their choice and risk is in their hand.

Most of the comments on this thread are about IEOs. But I'm pretty sure that there are/ there will be good ICOs that are going to come up. As long as they have a really good marketing, a good and working product, and have a transparency to the investors. I treat IEOs and ICOs at the same level since I don't always have a good experience with IEOs.

well, basicly the main purpose from ICO and IEO is only to collecting money from the investors
but with different methode, thats why before you drop your money on ICO or IEO project, you must do your own research buddy
anyway in my opinion, if an ICO project bring a pure idea with new features and tech, i believe the ICO will be success,,

There's a lots of talk regarding to IEO's since the investors are switching to this venue of investment after seeing good outcome from those projects that's being held inside a well known exchanges, but it's not the end for ICO's there's still projects that will appear and provide useful finished products. It will be for those investors who still have a good plans to continue working with offered product to support for future success.

I followed the link to take the survey. I answered the first question, “no,” and the survey ended Grin


The research seems educational but it only focuses on finding the elements that are essential for an ICO to become successful which is

more partial to the team that conducted it. At least the research should have included the plight of those poor investors who have chosen

to invest and hold their stakes in a hyped ICO that successfully managed to generate large funding but did poor project development or hasn't produced

a final product yet to the dismay of its investors.
Exactly.
The criterion for the success of ICO is to reach a hard cap. The method of crowdfunding is not important. it is important how the team will work after the end of ICO, STO, IEO.

Since the emergence of the IEO concept, I am more interested in the concept IEO than the ICO concept. As long as I am involved in investment, I no longer buy coins from ICO.
You who are making a scientific research on ICO, for me, that's good. Because ICO has dominated so much in the past.

Yes, now IEO is the best, but before there were many scammers, ICO was also a lot of the best,

I also invested in many successful projects in 2017, but unfortunately I didn’t take profits, now the cost of coins is very low, I think that the factor of a successful ICO is the state of the market.
That is not a successful project because a successful project is one that should be able to put smile on investors face and make them proud for being a part of the project, but right now, how many projects are actually making their investors happy, they are only successful because they are able to raise the fund needed and then go on an exchange to list, But what of the real use case of the project? Have they ever been successful in that aspect

Many of us attribute their success to the fact that they were listed on an exchange but that is not right, it is what they continue to do and how they continue to make the word see their quality service and product after listing that I call a success and only few project have been able to prove themselves right in that regards.

ICO is popular back then, I still remember when WAVES got their ICO, which is now at Rank 15 at CMC, ICO projects promote innovative ideas and products, some succeed but most fail due to the uncontrollable market status, lack of fundings and non-working and irrelevant products. Most people lost their trust in ICO so they switch to IEO since faster listing give them the results in no time.

In the early days of ICO especially in 2017, I have invested as I see people are also confident of investing.

But late 2018 to this year, I am not anymore participating in ICO, no promoting it in the bounty campaign, I believe ICO has already lost its popularity and the market is already taken away by exchanges with their IEO platform, we cannot deny that as the facts would tell based on the results of the ICO and IEO when compared, and we've seen lots of successful IEO than ICO this year.

2017 is a good year for ICO investors because almost all of the price tokens go up high. The current condition is not good for ICO because investors are afraid because of the many ICO scams that occurred last year and now investors prefer the IEO method because listing is faster in the market

1-2 years ago I was trying to join the ICOs which i trust. And that's why I joined many ICO at that time. For me, an ICO must have a good team and a perfect vision, for be succeed. However, ICOs are not much preferred among investors at the moment. The main reason for this is that investors no longer trust ICO. It is also very difficult to find successful ICO in the market right now. Before joining any ICO, a very good research is needed.
The level risk that will be faced for some investors when they intend to in ICO is actually high. Indeed, the first time that should be done by investor is look the team itself to avoid the project end up with scam. And the second is the function of the project itself, the exchange will allowing to list the project/token that can give the money to them and will be look the community/user the token itself. I think there are many token who got delisted from some exchange just because the exchange was leaved by their investor. These are some factors who made investor have a thinking a loud to try investing on ICO. Currently I trust IEO who launch by some trusted exchange instead take part on ICO.

On a practical note, ICOs success factors can be trace to the project itself. Having a good project that has an answer to human problems already is a success. Projects with tangible workable products also has a success already but most these current projects I have seen are actually different from what success can mingle with.

Even in this errand of IEOs, any project with a good product behind it will get nothing than success, there are still ICOs today that are doing well, even more than the IEOs. Lack of good projects make ICOs slow down and IEOs taken over the industry.

If a project will succeed, it needs to pass through the route that others now do, which is raising funds through IEO. ICO is no longer in vogue. Although, it still exists, but the possibility of out succeeding is very low. Also,you you must do IEP, get it done on a good exchange with good success story.

ICOs are not so popular nowadays.
Most of the projects follow a IEO strategy that seems to be safer and reliable for investors. This is a reason why Ethereum's price cannot go any higher.
As new ways of funding came to the public, ICOs will fade slowly.

You are right.
IEO is now considered more reasonable to be followed. Moreover, the IEO that is listed on the top exchanges. Commonly they will be more successful.
But so far, only few projects that list their token on the top exchange, mostly are on the local or small exchange. This is also what we must consider carefully.

The success of the project depends on the funds of the investors who join them, the project opens the road wide while the investors who drive it and it can be concluded that the project will be successful if the team can develop the project according to its concept and also can manage investor funds correctly.

of course obviously a lot that causes all that can work well. but indeed the current situation is very difficult and clearly many investors have begun to refrain from sorting out the best to be able to participate. and many who are left behind only end up being scams.

there are many factors for the success of an ICO project including the performance of the developer and the project team, if they have good background and also extensive experience in managing the project, the project may also be able to run well, besides the project partners are also important because if the project has a large partner automatically many investors are interested in joining, but unfortunately the problem is that most ICO projects are currently unsuccessful according to their road map, my advice is better to invest in IEO than in ICO

At first you need use case.
Secondly you need to give the token some value - passive income is a good way.
Thirdly you need to list your token on reputable exchange.
And then you need regularly update the technology.
How many ICOs fulfill all requirenents what I have written? Probably no one.  Roll Eyes

I have had many times analyzing ICO projects and gained experience from some teachers.
1. Team
The team must be really experienced people in their field. must have had many achievements in his career.
2. ideas
I often read very carefully the ideas of projects in the Whitepaper. If they come up with solutions that businesses will implement reasonably, I will continue to consider.
3. community
The community really means a lot to new projects, because its price will be decided by the buyers. If the community is large and positive, that's definitely a good sign.

The New Project that is currently running ICO is expected to have a good partner, this will affect the performance of the project in the future, we have seen many successful new projects raise a lot of funds to build the project, but after the funds are collected they will begin to reduce activities on social media and not according to the road map, therefore a good Mutra will influence a good ICO project

Yes, this year it was completely for IEO. Even now there are ico projects, but quite few a number are getting successful. Earlier ethereum and bitcoin was much used for ico investment, and once after IEO the respective exchange native token is being availed for investment. This has caused the price drop for ethereum, once again there are chances for ico to flourish with some changes than getting faded completely.

I think gone are the days where ICO success is based on how good the project is and how the team can market effectively but these days it's only the ones that can get to list on bigger exchanges that are guaranteed of success.
These exchanges have enough volume and investors so once the project list the investors risk it and pump the price up.

In the last few years, there  have been many ICO projects with various ideas. It seems most of the ideas have been  exhausted and sadly most of the projects have died out. In  recent times, for a project to really succeed the initiative must be unique with very realistic goals for people to believe in the project.

For me the most important point is the practicalness of the project that means that it will attract masses as customers after full development or no. Just like any other successful business, if the answer is yes only then the project is worth investing, other factors include, community and social media activity and communication by the team, quality website and whitepaper arrangement, competent team with good experience, already working product is also a big plus.

IMO we might need a regulation that control the disbursement of fund raised for projects, this could prevent scam and help the fulfillment of the projects road-map. We still need the ICOs but could have legal organization collecting the fund as escrow, SEC could provide this from credible personnel that will also research such project team.

ICOs are great deals through which major innovative and creative concepts have come to reality and use cases to most challenges faced globally. I consider transparency the first success factor in an ICO and then loads of publicity and social media actions and updates, interactive sessions and meetups are also not left out of the equation as people want to get to know from you, first hand, what you inted to achieve and what their monies are to be used for.

It is unlikely that many people will respond to your request in order to help the new platform. You need to read the forum yourself and you will learn a lot of what people think about ICO projects, especially recently.

now people are less interested in ico, but last year, many people were interested because ico could still bring promising ROI. and now contrary, many ICOs offer promising REKT and there are also many ico projects that are categorized as scams, ponzi, trash, etc. and now ico is at the end point, maybe alternatives other than ico that will be popular for some time to come for example ieo.

About 9 out of 10 ICOs that I have seen have failed. Out of 10 ICOs I invested in, all are in red, as in my return on investment is negative.
So when you ask 'What are ICOs success factors?' all I can say is nothing, because I haven't seen many success stories of ICOs where both the project or the company raising the funds and the investors came out happy.
With that said, I did notice some of the successful ICOs and they were all projects that had a technological innovation story to tell. Something new and improved to share with the users. Something that wasn't a copy-paste of another coin.

Maybe if developer do the schedule like their roadmap, i think anything wouldn't be make them worry. Focus on listed the coin on exchanges and keep active. At least don't make investor dissapointed. I think that simple, but some developers not think about that although they make update, it not really affect the coin in market or maybe usually they really hard to listed in market. Maybe that is common problem that developer faced.

No, I haven't and I have had enough with it because I have that gut feel that it won't stay. If there would still be an interesting ICO that focuses with one thing and its usage for its own purpose, it can still click. But right now, I don't see the essence of it. Investors who are seeking for a quick profit would still think that it's advisable to get into it but I say that it's no longer like before.

Sorry I haven't completed the survey even though I'm a previous ICO investor coz its really too long to make some inputs.

Are you a project owners or tending to make some projects and run through an ICO? If yes, then better to changed up your mind yet majority of investors now are hesitant on trusting to ICO due to decreasing confidence due to fraud and majority now is eyeing for IEO. There might be still some projects succeed on ICO funding but those are already few in numbers unless if your project do stood up better among the rest with proper marketing and really an exceptional thing to invest on then It might have some chance.

I don't know what are ICOs success factors? But l know that most investors prefer IEO instead of relying on ICO. They find IEO the best than ICO. l can say many scam projects caused that and they find ICO unbelievable. Earlier there was not a lot of difference between them, but step by step ICO has lost own confidence.

ICOs are not so popular nowadays.
Most of the projects follow a IEO strategy that seems to be safer and reliable for investors. This is a reason why Ethereum's price cannot go any higher.
As new ways of funding came to the public, ICOs will fade slowly.
IEOs are more reliable than risking the hard-earned money in the ICOs that have scammed investors before. Ethereum's price will surge if the success percentage of the latest ICOs going to increase. Small price movements can't be a source of the information used for deciding to invest in the project or not.
