I look for a solid community. One that the people behind it are in it for the long run. They are dedicated and worth with one another to make it better and grow the community. The team must be professionals and also the website needs to be great or I would not invest.

As the question reads.  For me:

-  The concept/vision - is it innovative?  does it solve a real world problem?  is the problem it solves something I am interested in?
-  The team - Size and experience.
-  How the coin relates to the concept.  Is the coin a key part of the platform?  Are other payment methods available to users, etc.



Whenever, I would invest in the ICO I consider the concept, the team behind it, it's potential, it's target market and the plans of the team in the long run. There's a lot of things to consider before investing. And, I think this things are very important.

dont forget to add community. if there is no community icos not reaching hardcap easily.

Advisors, team, news, press, community and raised funds (if it had already started). These are my main aspects of choosing a good ICO. Also community feedback.

One of the most important part is the potential of the project on blockchain technology. Is blockchain technology even needed for the project or just for a sake of adopting new technology they are opting for it. After that team and whitepaper need to be solid enough. We also can't neglect the marketing area. If the project isn't marketise properly, it won't get enough investment even if it is a good project. Competition is way too high in the market right now. ICO need to be marketise wisely.

Coin concept - Do they need a coin in their system?
Great team- Good dev team, but also marketers and CEO's are needed. Also nice to see a mixture of nationalities (different viewpoints to push the project forward)
Whitepaper - Needs to be solid

One pre-sale i am looking into is Crowdholding, matches all my criteria.

These are the list I am looking at ICO:

-Strong Team - Developer that have reputation and real person [better to check their names and profession]
-Vision - how the team sees future in their project
-Whitepaper
-Roadmap
-How the coin will solve the existing problem
-how many token or coins will be release
-what happen if the token or coins are not sell during ICO or after ICO
-live support that can answer questions immetiately

I look for
1- Valuation
2- Team
3- Vision & Business applications (Will it make profit in the future? If not, it's not worth an investment.)

1) Project Category (Infrastructure and Blockchain service +, Real Estate, Social -)
1) Hype Level (how many people around)
2) ICO Conditions (Hard Cap, % on crowd sale)

Example, ICON
1) New Blockchain from Korea (it's Infrastructure)
2) Hype Level - High (a lot of people in international chats)
3) Hard Cap only 50$mill (it's very small if compare with EOS, TEZOS) & Presale with maximum personal cap! (everyone can to participate)

= Best category of project (best ROI - statistics) + Hype Level OK (The project will quickly collect money) + Good Conditions (small hard cap, personal cap)

My approach is aimed at a quick return on investment (return the invested money and HODL profit)

Here we select the most interesting ICO

more or less I agree with you, which you explain it has included a very important thing for the analysis in an ico, but no less important is the whitepaper and roadmap of the project

1. The need for the token in the ecosystem (business model: is ICO required)
2. Team/ Advisors
3. Ability to execute on the idea

Has to be a great team, doesn't mean they have to have 10 successful projects, but I want them to be accessible and available.

Something new that has a real use, I love possibilities the much as the next guy, but if it isn't viable in the next few years you are paying someone to "see" if they can make it work


Being as open and as transparent as possible.

I think this lists are good. Usually, new concepts and ideas attract investors. If I were to invest big amount of money into an ICO, I would look for an ICO that is something new and that people would really use in the future. And, the project should be user friendly and not complicated to use. People nowadays are lazy to understand the whole concept of things. So, everything should be made simple.

This are good lists. I usually look at the project it self if people would find it helpful and the project would be helpful to people. Usually, this kinds of ICO's attract investors. Who would invest in a project that people wouldn't find useful when the ICO is finished. I also consider the team behind it, because those teams whose name is already established mostly has successful ICOs.

1. No scam

2. Over demand for flipping

3. Good team for long term investment and clear exit strategy

As said before, the golden rules for an ICO are:

1- purely based-on-technology coin without a end-consumer purpose
-> only experts can understand, looks very technical and state of the art... because its only purpose is technology

2- huge amount of tokens, and over-valuated Marketcap (>$250MM)
-> but ultra-low token unitary price to lure noobs in...

3- unexperienced linkedin profiles for the team
-> ...but girl in charge of PR & Communication is super hot...


How2: Buy at pre-ICO, sell 3h after it hits exchanges. Go golf...

Three things look for in an ICO, I feel important are;
1. Whitepaper
2. Vision
3. Platform [on what the tokens for the ICO are being build upon]

1. Of course it's obvious they should have a whitepaper

2. Also a commong thing

3. Should

But the bottom line here is, whitepaper , vision and roadmap are easy to create. They can just put good and positive thoughts about the project and that's it. For me the best factor should be "exposure" like devs doing seminars and travels to show what project is or having a regular conference to some crypto related news institution. In that way, we can see that they are serious in the project and all we need to face is the risk of investing to them.

For me i look at team, social media and techonology that they want to provide, but mostly there was more factores that you need to look at before you invest in to ICO's really important is the techonolgy and the realisation at White paper almost all of the good projects they have a nice described token realisation
The devs are the most important part of the project even if the idea is not the most original they can beat existing coins if their execution is better, if the end product is better, so always check that the developers are who they say they are, also look for fake pictures, if there is any that is a big red flag and finally once you have determined they are real then you can look at their experience.
