So many new ICO's coming out, what should we look out for before investing?

[Kenfong]

Just learnt about ICO after attending my first Bitcoin event (i'm still new) and how its consider the next "stock exchange".  In terms of ICO's I noticed there's a handful them coming out every day. Just wondering what are some to look out for?

Thanks in advance

-team

-product
-buzz

-distribution
-how many hodlers
-vesting period

Firstly read the white paper to understand about the project and analysis whether the this project is disruptive. Read Ann thread and interact with the community and Developers.

I would agree that team and vision is important. Does the concept have staying power? Does it make sense? Use in the future? Do some reading. I think some good examples of this are www.openmoney.digital and www.ardorplatform.org, personally following them.

Just the github account.  This is about the tech after all.

Think of yourself as an Angel investor, with a set amount of money.  There is no shortage of blockchain startups, trick is picking the right ones. 

Pick projects that have the ability to move the needle, have product market fit and have a strong founding team.
