Reasons why ICOs fail

[Ayobami99]

You are correct with the analysis above,  i think collaboration between ICO especially when a promising ico collaborates with a less promising one it brings down the promising one

[Question123]

The number 1 reason why ICO fails because of the rush project , without any reason why they create project , always the purpose of the founder Of ICO is the money and not to help the community. Only few ICO now are legit , successful and have big potential. Choose ICO who are do you think best ICO and gives you high profit after the ICO and being listed to the market.

failure in ico. could be because the project information is less clear. development is not good, so people do not want the money lost for the project is not clear . or lack of community from the project. so be careful in following ico. to avoid fraud.

I think that most projects can not solve any real problems, they do not have an interesting idea. There are many such projects, and they are monotonous, I do not see the further development of such projects. Perhaps that's why they fail.

For me main reason is team, to be more precise, their work. Very often team is inexperienced in the sphere they work, they are not active, doing not enough promotion, it seems that they don't care about success of their project.

Ico fail becose they spaming each day new and idea about projects is the same few ico only have working product and .In my opinion ico will work if they dont spam each day new and have regulations,if this happens scams will go away..

I agree with you, This is the common mistake that teams do it during the ICO, so in result the ico will be surely fail. Inactivity and do not promote your project very well, this will orientate things to the worst. Good ico will succeed because of the great team and the good plan, teams who cares too much about their projects, by promoting their ico with a good way, people will invest in the project.

a business plan divides the target investors even further depending upon the project, meaning that your crowdsale campaign may only appeal to a very small target audience.

there are many reasons why ICO fails, I think the failure of ico is due to the unsupportive teamwork in completing the ICO marketing especially when they want to cooperate with colleagues, the work team can not have a good experience and the product they produce is not interesting to sell.

[chits]

Most of ICOs have not good ideas, which really demanded by people. They try to make beautiful picture for investors, but have not realistic business plan. But investros don't want pictures anymore, they want money.

[crypto1nvest]

Many ICO fails because lot of reasons.
Main of them are:
1) bad marketing
2)  bad product
3) conflict between teammates
4) don't have a clear plan
5) no fulfillment of the plan
6) Empty waste of money investors.

The main problem is the scum. In the crypto community there are incredibly many people who try to cash in on the money of investors.

[bibitao18]

i believe many ICO's fail because there are too many ICO's already.
Investors in crypto are limited, not anyone interested in cryptocurrency.
Therefore, the large investors only invest on a few ICO's

I think the main problem is that many ICO projects care more about the hype, rather than the business model or the technology behind it. Nowadays, investors are getting smarter and they do a thorough check on ICOs before committing any capital. So, I believe the core business model must be good and have a good use-case first. When this is true, then you must care about the hype of your project. To me, a successful ICO would be determined 60% by the business model & technology, and 40% on the hype created for the project.

[kruzer200]

I have never invested in ICO, but judging by how many people lose their investments, I think that it is very unlikely in modern conditions...

Yes you're right.
Investors right now is not really "invest", they just want to get fast profits from an ico by selling the ICO tokens with low price when the tokens enter a markets.
So that's why many ICOs fail nowadays.

[FOUAD1994]

There is a lot of reasons between them the ICO don't have a strong project , sceondly the team behidn the project is not professional

[plr]

There are many ICOs out there, but more than 50% of them fail.
From my analogy, could this be the reasons why ICOs fail?
1. Being too complicated:
If you want investors to favour your ICO, make sure they understand your coin offering. Be concise yet interesting, creative yet not too ‘techy’ and try to explain concepts from scratch. Of course, the detail you go into is likely to depend on your target audience.
2. No unique Use case and lack of creativity:
The reality is, ICOs are not straightforward and with new ideas and concepts arising daily, you need to get noticed and that means coming up with some unique Use case
So, before a developer even attempts to launch an ICO or enter the crypto world, ask yourself: "What will make investors choose this particular ICO over a competitor’s ICO?"
I believe the list continues.

I don't think it's 50% more likely 80 to 90% fail even if the roadmap is good but lacks of promotion can hinder its success, successful Ico are a combination of many factors but honesty and real time update is very much important to the success of any ICO.

Without a working product, the guys try to enter the market and raise funds from credulous investors. Actually, there are no other reasons. We see this constantly and very often such projects. Let's try not to succumb to tricks anymore, that everything will be done quickly, qualitatively, ideally, and we will be able to make money on it. This all requires a lot of work and the belief in the project should be built on what is the project now has in addition and not to tales that everything will be fine and we will all grow rich. Such projects are not so much, in fact, basically everyone wants to raise funds. This is dangerous for the industry and for all of us. Let`s be careful with our money
