TOP 5 THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN A GOOD ICO

[ololajulo]

No 1: The Company. Is the Company a solid entity that can make an idea into reality? Or at least has a solid back round in what it wants to bring to market?
No2: The idea or product/service itself. Is the idea or product/service itself disruptive enough or can it solve a problem?
No 3: The Team. Is the team robust or experienced enough to carry to fruition the road map?
No 4: The Community. Is there a large enough audience and community or the niche value in the idea big enough to scale and grow over time?
No 5: Is the token and business idea good enough for investors to salivate on and want to park their hard earned money in? 

Product is very important in a project and that's makes a project turn a long term.
whichever way it goes, all research are still not perfect in 100%. It just help to reduce the risk of a scam

1. It is preferable to find the project on one of the reliable aggregator sites.
Like:
www.amazix.com
icobox.io
cryptonomos.com
In no case do not look for projects on rating sites.
2. the problem and its solution.
3. site, community, bounty.
4. team.
5. intuition, other factors.

If project has working business model is very good .

[NeverSop]

I usually evaluate a good ICO project through the following factors:
- Professional management team, famous people in the field of crypto.
- Having a large community and growing steadily,
- Have a clear plan and direction.
- Have a unique idea and bring real benefits to the community.
- Website look and feel, focus on the interests of users rather than attract investment.

There are so many things we should check but The most important ones are; team-advisor's past and popularity, their activity and followers quantity on twitter/slack/telegram, the cap size for the project.

[Jessietahoang]

This is my opinion:
1. Founding team
2. Development path of the project
3. ICO theme on Bitcointalk.org
4. Community and media
5. What is their Token? Blockchain is needed?

[BountyLord]

My 5 points for good ICO:
1. Team - strong and public team - most important to avoid scam
2. Marketing budget - It is impossible to collect money without marketing
3. Working product
4. Token should be integrated to the produt
5. Sexy site and applications

There are so many ICOs that are flooding the market. Many look good on the outside, however I read so many conflicting comments for both pro and con.

So, I wanted to know what top 5 things to look for in a good ICO, so that ultimately I can decide the best ones to invest in.

Please share your thoughts and advice.

For me it is quite difficult to find a good ICO, even if they look good I feel something scammy, but anyway, here's the list that helps me to exclude most of the scammers:
1) Presence of good team that participated in other projects;
2) Project development and technology specialities;
3) Accurate amount of money needed to be raised, that would be enough to get project done;
4) Feasibility of the project;

[nmax21]

With all agree. I also want to add that if ICO uses ERC20 coins, then you need to look at their availability and holders on Etherplorer.io. And that there was not one wallet that holds all the coins)))

[housebtc]

I think it also depends on your own strategy, are you holding for flipping or long term, most of the current ICOs I can bet on them long term, but if you are looking for flipping, the project must have:

1. Strong team
2. Sound and workable idea
3. Good tokenmetrics
4. Real Hype
5. and Advisors

[Alina_kr]

You should always pay attention to the idea itself, the team, the site and the guarantor. If there is a guarantor, then you can safely invest money.

[randomhumster]

I use the following list:
1) Team - must have expirience in crypto and in the exact field for the project
2) Economic model - no matter how good idea is, if the token is useless it will not help. All future users of the project must have strong reasons to buy/own token/coin.
3) Working project/ptototype. If ICO is before beta release (or at least) alfa then I consider it too dangerous.
4) Well made site, whitepaper and etc.
5) Storng comunity and hype on youtube, twitter and etc.

[jaggijagjit]

You can consider so many things in a good ICO'S like Market strategy, Development team behind the project, whitepaper, Roadmap of the project and Website. These are the top 5 things you can consider when you look for ICO.

You should do a hard work to find a pearl in a pile of garbage. I can advise 4 main things:
1. Hype around the project
2. Advisors
3. Developers
4. Innovativeness of the idea

Thanks the author for this thread.
I've found out very useful criteria of evaluation of ICOs.

[syberwolfen]

I strongly agree with most of the opinions here. In addition to all that have been mentioned, USE CASE is also a good thing to look into.

Use cases actually the most important thing which will give us the clear insight of the project and help us decide whether this is something which is the need of the hour or future and it will.help us decide whether to invest or go for next ICO.

[jin_dv]

Hello everyone! I fully support the previous comments, and conducted its analysis. In my opinion, the 5 criteria of a good ICO is:
- Availability of a professional TEAM is the key to success of any project;
- For the successful operation of the project requires a working BUSINESS MODEL, which has the potential to earn money in the future.
- The structure of the ICO.
 Communication (Even the best team could be in doubt if it is not in contact with potential investors).
- Whitepaper

[Midsign]

To the best of my knowledge, I believe their are thongs you should look into an ICO

1. The team
2. Do they have a working product
3. Token metrics- of course you wouldnt want to be investing in coins that has up to 10 billion circulation
4. Check whether they have a github account
5. Read their white paper for better understanding
