The connection between a project's ICO and their roadmap is essential. Not only to potential investors, but also to the crypto community.
Too often we see potentially amazing projects with almost unmeasurable milestones. While many investors ponder as to when a coin/token will reach an exchange, they are less concerned with what will happen 1 month, 2 months, 1 year down the road. Investing in an ICO to find out that their platform/product/idea will only come to fruition in 2020 is not only concerning but a failure to provide transparency between the team and holders. No matter how strong the community or social engagement is in my opinion. The points on a roadmap are not only landmarks, but they are functional tools that can be used to gauge the condition of the startup (after a successful ICO as well).
I see people getting more and more excited about Zeex. This is in part, due to the fact that Zeex's "crypto to product" platform will release a couple of weeks after the ICO. Not only that, a functional web-app will be available close to the end of the ICO. With an already established sister company laying down their foundation (Zeek) it's a breath of fresh air to see a project simplify its goals and engage with the community will full transparency. How often do you see a project that allow users to buy products and services from big brands (Amazon, Adidas, Starbucks, etc) with cryptos AND have their platform accessible in a timely manner?
