Topic: What defines a successful ICO? (Read 271 times)
The ICO is successful if every stakeholder is happy. The team get their money, the investors make some profit and the community gets the product and services that were promised.
If the token has features, that we really need, then it will become successful. Of course, only when they are also marketing the ICO correctly to the wide audience.
The Token is ultimately listed on the stock exchange, I think so. Also successful ICOs usually have a good audience.
I agree most successful ICOs have a large number investors, the exception of course is the super successful ones like BAT which sold out in 30 seconds from huge investors.
Do you have any idea of an easy way to tell how many people invested in an ICO? The only way I know of is counting the initial transfers of the tokens on the blockchain :/
The answer to the OP is dependent on what side to consider, the side of the company who launched the ICO or the side of the investors who invested in the company's ICO.
If it will be on the side of the company then a successful ICO is an ICO where the company raised their minimum amount goal and nothing more. Goals are set for a reason, if it is met then it's a success.
On the side of the investors, the success is when a good profit was made. Investors invest because they want to gain and if they gained based from their expectation then their investment is a win.

Ico successful or not it depends on so many factor . Like the project concept idea, Dev team , Market hype and demand ,etc. Most of the successful ico listed in good exchanges that is also the fact of ico coin price up down .

The success of the project is determined by the team and the idea. Now a lot of similar projects that duplicate each other. As a result, after the ICO, the price of their tokens falls twice on the exchange.
actually although the concept offered is the same, as long as the team can mix with something new of course it can still make the token of the project has a competitive edgeThe success of the project is determined by the team and the idea.

Its like saying just because Mcdonalds already exists, burger king won't be successful.

In my opinion, a good ICO project can bring me the return of X5.
Then the ICO project that allows me to make money is a good project.

So if you have two projects, which would you consider more successful??
Project A).
ICO price, = $1.00
Total raised = $1million
Exchange listed and tokens trade at ~$5 for 6 months
Then the project fails and dies, tokens become worthless
Project B)
ICO price = $1.00
Total raised = $1million
Exchange listed and tokens trade at ~$1 forever,
The project launches and becomes extremely well adopted.
When in the sale of the token it reaches its hardcap, it is a good sign that the token is good for the demand of the investor. The next thing you must see to it, that is the ICO good for a short term? or its more good in a longer term. You must also refer to read its whitepaper. All the important key information and its roadmap are on the whitelist.

i can say if you give all the benefits to your investors. and listing to a good exchanger in the market. creating a good build up of your team, white paper, strategies and so on. be always fair to your investors so both can gain more better future.
What do you think is a better definition of success in an ICO? The amount it raises or whether the token is ultimately listed on an exchange?

I think both. Because without one them the ico could not reach success. For example, without raised in crowdsale the ico token could not list in the market or exchange. And also if the ico raised much but its not listed in exchange because of team or other reason, we can not say its success ico. So both of them is reference and can not be separated. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3163849 "Are Blockchain Crowdsales the New 'Gold Rush'?

From the companies point of view a successful ICO is one where their Hardcap is reached within the timescale of the main sale. Also, you could argue that if they complete the sale without any server outages or phishing sites stealing from investors this would be the ultimate.
Hitting their hard cap and getting listed on a good exchange are a good starting point. Then being able to meet key roadmap targets, decent trade volume and producing the product would be a successful ICO to me. Unfortunately not many are able to complete all these things and as 2018 continues on I feel i'm seeing less and less of them.

Successful ICOs are when they have a great team and great ideas. It's like a newly formed company, it needs a good team to handle things quickly and the idea must be different to attract investors.https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3163849 "Are Blockchain Crowdsales the New 'Gold Rush'?

Investors need the difference and the work experience of a startup group. This is a valuable foundation to make the ICO project successful.
Many have a rumor about the fact that 90% of ICO is scam, fraud. On the wave of excitement, many ICO campaigns collected millions of dollars, after which the founders dissolved in the fog. Therefore, it is important to understand and correctly assess the potential and risks of the project. Important criteria ICO, consisting of five indicators:
The team;
Availability of a working business model;
The structure of the ICO;
Communication;
Whitepaper.
Each ICO project is evaluated on all five points, so if there are no questions on all 5, then it can be said that it is successful!
Very good answer! When "Availability of a working business model" is missing; Many times we see the following panorama:The team;
Availability of a working business model;
The structure of the ICO;
Communication;
Whitepaper.

"Token price": If these ICO are following their RoadMap, why the price of their Tokens goes down after the ICO? When exchange? The expected exchange that will cause the token to be recognized by the trading community based on its price and value and if the exchange does not arrive, what increases the price of the token and only remains far from what was expected. What about the investors of these ICO? Hold for a long time. What is the waiting time to properly say that the ICO was a total success? And to say: I have joined an excellent project and I am a happy Token holder of "X" because my investment was worth it.

Thank you for your simple question that is the great Dilemma of our crypto-enthusiast community and that it will have several opinions from every point of view.https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3163849 "Are Blockchain Crowdsales the New 'Gold Rush'?

I believe that an ICO is successful when it offers its fully functional project at least in the medium term and that the Token price does not lose its price and value.
