It seems to be an interesting project. It could be a good investment!

The MangoStartups ICO is finished. Thanks go out to all supporters of the project.

[zorgo]

In telegram group is written that ICO's softcap isn't reached, so all funds will be refunded. Very sad, that biggest part of ICO took place while market was bearish.

[Arrrvin]

Dear community,

I am hereby forwarding the team's message about the ICO results:

"Now that the ICO is over, we can confirm the final amount raised of 3.3M MNG or 367 ETH.

Unfortunately this does not meet the required Soft Cap of 500 ETH.

This means that the smart contract will now reverse itslef and all transactions. In the next 30 days we will refund investors for the total amount raised.

This means the project is on hold until further notice. We do want to thank you all for your support, this community has been absolutely great!

If you have any questions please reach out to support@mangostartups.com"

I want to thank you all for taking interest in this thread and wish you all the best of luck.

Your departing MangoStartups community manager at Bitcointalk,

Arvin

knew that there are a lot of scam but the percentage is really terrifying. I really carefully check the project before investing. My advice is to invest in projects with ready-made product, long termed activity before ICO and good team. but of course  one has to read White Paper , chat with community and so on

In fact MangoStartups did have a ready-made product and long term activity with InvertUp. Not reaching a soft cap does not make a project a scam. The ICO was running during a down market period and there was hardly any marketing. For the latter the team could be held responsible but not for the first, which could not be forseen. If things go as the CEO communicated to me the investors will be paid back and the bounty participants will still be paid their MNG (though MNG is not of value at this moment). And if these actions are conducted MangoStartups will not be a scam but simply a failure. Even a 'temporary failure' because the project will not be terminated but put on hold, which keeps the possibility theoretically open that in the future it will be given a re-start.

Well I trust you that's the reason why I invested and if you can give it a re-start the idea its very good. Good luck.
