People are blaming bearish market but if the project is good, icos still getting money.

But ok projects, or bad projects can't get any funds right now.

Look at Enlte for example, they probably raised more than 15m already. If a project is good, it will always find a way to get good funding.
I think 60% is due to the market down and many investors will be greatly affected on their investment. There are many really good projects in recent months but they have not received the attention of the community due to the downside. Personally if you want ICO to achieve Hard Cap then we should wait for the real market recovery, the demand for ICO investment will increase.

There are indeed reasons why ico fail and most of them do reach their ultimate goal for their project, some of them did not find suitable market place where they can put their ico still some of them continue but given another chance to recover for whatever their loss or shortcoming is,.

Many ICOs have failed just because them do not have any real purpose. They come just to collect money. Reports have said that many new ICOs are turning to be just scams. One question that strikes my mind is why regulators are not tightening screw on such fake ICOs, thus saving people and investors?

adding to what you have explained above, the other reasons why ICO fail include crypto market volatility. as we all know the many ICO already have a targeted hardcap which is established base on the crypto market price at that period. in some situation during the ICO when the price of the crypto fall just like what we are witnessing now. the ICO may be affected by not selling enough token required for the project. another reason is due to some investors and bounty hunters that take their investment and dump token especially when the token is available on the exchange. some ICO are now very smart. they now lock token for bounty hunters for period of time to avoid massive dumping of the token.

I think there are still a few reasons why ICO fail:
 - Lack of competent developers of the project.
 - Bad and not effective PR company.

Some ICO's failed maybe due to lack of preparations and promotions and the team developer is not well experienced.

Sometimes I feel some projects are all about branding, the majority of the ICO projects are about sales and marketing.

I personally market several projects: the retention rate for ICO with a decent project is much higher than the the mediocre one. I think fundamentally ICO fail because of the product fails to meet its promises.




I think one of the main reason ICO's fail is because of the team behind the project and marketing because the product will be deliver after the ICO so they need to attract investors to put money on their project, also partners and advisors helps the ICO to be trustworthy.

The tokens created must provide practicality in the ecosystem they are in and can increase the network effect. ICO tokens must be part of the company's business model. Many tokens are not practical, and failure is a matter of course.

other reason is that false information about cryptocurrency that deceive or make the future investment afraid to invest on the project or any other altcoin. Second is that the project is not really well presented and lack of preparation.

ICOs are falling due to because of the project behind it which is very important. If the project doesn't have any unique product or a service then the demand for the ICOs automatically fall. And, ultimately the ICO got dropped.

I think nowadays more and more ICO apply new concept, I read almost all ICO whitepaper that exist. but I think that the problem is not the concept but the current Crypto deployment is stalled. due to investor stagnation.

There are many reasons for the failure of ICO, but I think the reason for most of the ICO's failure is because their projects are completely unrelated to the blockchain

Over valuation of tokens is one of the main reasons. Why will some one pay 10 cents/token, without any value. Moreover shady background details with no idea what private investor is another scam. After the ICO, those tokens are dumped into the market, and small guys get fried.

The reason for the failure of ico is that the promotion has not done well as well as they have many inadequacies about how the process and their products have not really attracted the community.

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.
Has a concept that is almost the same as the project that has been running. Or developer does not have a backup plan when ico is not running as expected.

I think been to 'techy' is the way to go for your ICO to be successful! Look at ethereum that seem to be toast of every cryptocurrency users and debelopers, In it's early days, ethereum was very 'tech' and half of crypto user did not understand it. Ethereum was able to pull it off, and the result has been more than amazing!

the reasons why ICOs often fail because they do not have a solid team, experienced team in the field of cryptocurrency and products that are not clear even not very useful for the people.

The acceptance of the audience determines the success of an ICO. There are ICO that projects a great idea but fail and the reason is...timing and implementation. A project may fail because it is not ready to launch and the commodity prsented is too untimely for the current need. Implementation may also creates failure because the audience trust deminished when there is a violation in the implementation date, price and exchange.
