Hello,

I am building a startup website and I am wondering how feasible it is to launch an ICO so I can get a professional developer, designer to work on it and market it.
I am looking to raise an amount between $10,000 and $50,000 dollars. The investors would get tokens that preserve the right of dividends on quarterly revenues of the website.
I don't want to do stuff like kickstarter because I won't have physical products to sell or give away. Instead i'm looking for some investors that would be interested in kickstarting the project but when I look at all the ICOs its all multimillion projects and wonder if there would be any actuall interest in a project of such small size? Not to say it can't be lucrative for investors but given the fast paced economy of cryptocurrencies and most investors looking for an instant ROI upon exchange launch is it manageable to do this?
Also do you think it is a good idea, launching an ICO for such a project? On the upside it is a small amount of money directed at pure development and marketing, I won't be taking any salary out of it and in a best case scenario, besides a little reserve fund for unforseen costs, put the money back into the dividend pool.
If I conduct the ICO it will be on Waves platform as I find this one most suited and has a DEX so that investors can trade the tokens if they like, I won't be planning to hit more exchanges though as this is very costly and not really what the project is about. I assume though that with being listed on CMC and exposure there will be people interested in trading the tokens on the Waves DEX.

Is this a feasible idea or should I look for other methods to raise funds?

Sincerely,
LotusPetal

Hello

You are requesting a quite small sum of money, that is not worth to providing ICO. Successful ICO will cost you around 1mln usd.
For that money you need, you can find some private investor who will like your idea.
That will be best option
But that is just 1 opinion:)
Good luck!

If you have a good idea, yes.. If you have a good support team, yes..

 If you have a good scam, yes... Nothing is impossible...

Waves DEX is workable but you need waves tokens to use the platform. you need to get people interested in what you are doing, so much so that they part with their hard earned cash or crypto.

Starting an ICO costs more money than you stand to raise off of it. No point doing an ICO for 'chump change' like that.

Waves DEX is to restrictive and will turn off many people that would normally participate in the ICO, but if your idea is good, you might get the targeted 50k.
