is pre ico compulsory only for angel investors and not to the public
or there are no hard and fast rules for this?

you can do closed and public preICO also, public is for anyone

Pre-ICO is open for everyone but the common practice is that the minimum contribution is higher than the public sale and they give bigger bonus during that stage plus the hard cap on pre-ico is a lot smaller than the one in ICO.

Pre ICO may be limited, and the price is still very cheap from the time of ICO Sale.
So, if you want to follow ICO, follow at Pre ICO / Private sale. Who fast can definitely be cheap price (Maybe).

There are no strict rules, each company decides how to conduct pre-ico, but in the interests of the company, in order to collect as much money as possible in the first stage, always large investors are always in the forefront

I think that all the interesting companies that are now going to the stock exchanges, at the initial stage sell tokens only to large players to secure a large capital for development, and ordinary users when they see that the project has collected a lot of money, too, want to invest their money, but can only do it at the public ico

Before pre-sale, some ICO also offers a private sale that is held privately prior to launching their ICO publically to gather investors they can be their own team/company members, friends, business partners or others. you cannot contribute in private sale.
Regarding your question, in pre-sale anyone can take part you can also take part because both pre-sale, main sale some also offers post-sale all are announced to the public. In pre-sale ICO usually, not all, the minimum investment can be very high but it will give you a high bonus if invested in pre-sale. In the main sale, the bonus will be less or no bonus.

can you explain how the bonus works?
So if a person buys a certain amount of coins and there is a 25% bonus, he gets 25% extra coins based on the amount he purchased?

People are investing in pre-ico only when they find huge potential in the company. Even i try to research as much as possible to invest in the pre-ico because we are going to get the higher bonus at pre-ico.

Can you give an example for bonus

The procedure pre ico is aimed at quickly selling a large number of tokens and providing capital for the development of the project, the organizers at this stage need large investors to quickly accumulate the right amount, so in the pre-ico procedure, only large players can practically always participate)))

It depends, but usually pre-ico let us say a try for project if the team sees that they do not raise anything on pre-ico stage that is not worth spend more money for ICO Stage

Private or Exclusive sale do happen but just on rare cases.The best time to invest is on pre-sale state where discounts as its best and profiting would really be more worth off when the token or project succeeded.This is why its really very important on researching up on which project we should put money on.Some people do prefer on after launching on exchange where usually price do dumps when investors and bounty hunters are already profit taking and buyback later on which is a good spot to get or accumulate cheap coins.
