It does play a part in deciding whether or not to invest into an ICO, there are other major factors also but the team behind it will influence or should influence participation in an ICO.

Does the team behind an ICO really matters when it comes to determining if the ICO is to be trusted or not?

Yes it does, in the end its the team that has to execute the plans.

[loaddebitcard]

Nope, they can put anybody on the list and it never matters who's on. Most newbies trust to team lists and often being caught on that by a scammers. Its always about your intuition and knowledge of the industry

[kayvie]

Does the team behind an ICO really matters when it comes to determining if the ICO is to be trusted or not?

yes it does, you must check if their background is clean, if there is one person on the team that has a bad reputation, its not good to be part of that. ICO team is also one of the basis if they have the potential of getting more investors. it is all about the influence of those people.

[torrantz]

Does the team behind an ICO really matters when it comes to determining if the ICO is to be trusted or not?

Yes it does, to make sure of the team was never involved in any criminal action just like run ponzi, scam, and any other. That's why you should put to trace the history of the team as your priority to determine how good or bad ico is. Ico that runs by a good team it can be trusted because it has created by trusted person.

[Hssn]

Dont think people who buy in ico check team except ceo of that ico, but advisers is a different case everyone look who are advisers.

[uggeers]

Yes. But this is only a small part of what you need to know about the project. Since even teams with a good reputation can fail. I recently invested in one company, only for one reason. There was a man who was respected by authoritative people, and he threw all of them. So it's worth to look closely at the team, but this should not be the only criterion for making a decision.

[alkhie01]

Well yes, it matters in every ICO because this makes you give some contribution for your idea in that project. But if we are talking about trust for the ICO project I don’t think so, because mostly the scammers are only using different person’s profile and even pictures just to complete the said team. So please don’t just stop from there profite details it’s not the only thing you need to rely on. Don’t be fooled by fake team profile be more great vigilant.

[emmmmm]

Yes, a good team is very important.
Because without a good team, they can't finish the project on time.

[1020kingz]

Does the team behind an ICO really matters when it comes to determining if the ICO is to be trusted or not?

Yes this is also a factor to make sure that its a trusted ICO but there’s a lot more to check. I mostly check the project and marketing strategy of an ICO and the plans of the company (roadmap) and also the community that supports it, well im not saying that by these you can be sure about the ICO that you check but it will help you to gain ideas that will convince you to invest in it.

[tonylewisverdu]

its a part yes.. but we really dont know what ICO is scam or not, we can just minimize the risk by doing diligence research but in the end it more on how we TRUST the project..

[bunny0612]

Does the team behind an ICO really matters when it comes to determining if the ICO is to be trusted or not?

Not necessarily, but it is not possible for a team in the advertising industry to do the food industry, right? When in the team there are people who have experience in their industry, it will create more confidence in the project but not all. We have to consider on many other points to trust an ICO.

[kryptqnick]

Does the team behind an ICO really matters when it comes to determining if the ICO is to be trusted or not?

It does play a part in deciding whether or not to invest into an ICO, there are other major factors also but the team behind it will influence or should influence participation in an ICO.

In a way it does, but I guess it is actually a minor factor. I mean, when the team is not listed on the official website, it does make one doubt the product, but if it is there and it's not just photos and names, but also some degrees and experience, then it's fine. Most of ICO projects have that, so evaluating them based on the team might be difficult. Moreover, it may even be wrong. Nobody knows who created bitcoin and it's #1. A teenager who dropped out of college or something created the #2.

[wedosgibas]

Does the team behind an ICO really matters when it comes to determining if the ICO is to be trusted or not?

very important, it is the main thing that we should consider when choosing an ICO of a project, their background, experience and popularity become the main reference of the quality of the project, good luck

[wantjokull]

Does the team behind an ICO really matters when it comes to determining if the ICO is to be trusted or not?

How will you trust an ICO project for which you have no information about the team? I mean I will loose my half of the confidence before I can invest anything into it. I mean I am going to invest into something which is being developed by unknown persons or may be there are no person behind the project at all!! How would you know all these things or how you can even make up the mind to invest in such project. I mean if someone tells us that XYZ ICO is being sponsor by the Vitalik then obviously its half of the success is already on! Thats the thing bro! Its important.

[mast3rm1nd]

of course it does, a scammer isn't going to risk their true identity, it's just too much risk. it also matters because you can look at their past work and at their social media, which is a good indicator if the developer is good and serious about this project and cryptocurrencies in general.

[Torrenth]

I think it is very important in determining a project, because by looking at it can determine whether ico is a scam or not.

[cilgindansci]

The team is always very important. I examine the team definitely. Trusted experts make the project successful.

[chrismartin]

Being what are the names of the team in such an ico has playing a big role to that kind of project mate especially when they have been launches many kind of projects with a good background. It that way, many people have trust on them to buy nad participate in that project

[Reez]

The team is the most important factor for a coin, as a team is which does most of the work for the coin and they decide which direction a coin goes. What if the team members of a coin are scammers? Where do you think the coin will end up going.

[nikotengik]

Does the team behind an ICO really matters when it comes to determining if the ICO is to be trusted or not?

very important.
a successful ico behind there is a good team in managing their respective duties.
maybe the team is a core of the formation of an ico project

[BillCoin]

Most of them don't matter if the ICO is going to come out and be successful, all they care about is that you would trust them with your money, because after they got your bitcoins they can simply do anything with them, and all they promise to give you is tokens.

You guys have to remember that most of the ICOs will never come out with a project and even some of them has an idea that is impossible to make, you just need to make sure that the project you are investing in will bring enough hype that you won't lose money at the very neat future on selling the tokens.

[CopMom]

IMO, I think, it's the most important part of ICO project. For example Current ICO project has a Shark in their dev team and this project became the most attractive ICO project ever ). Although dev team is really important but there are so many things affect to the quality of an ICO project like roadmap, idea, WP,....

[radar19]

Does the team behind an ICO really matters when it comes to determining if the ICO is to be trusted or not?

the team which stands behind the project is the most important thing of this ICO. Because actaually the team are really those people who do profit for you.

[hugeblack]

Yes, it plays a very important role and perhaps it is one measure of success of ICOs.
The real developer earns through reputations so he/she will not risk them to scam others.
Transparency and problem solving is the real measure of whether the campaign will sucess or not.
open-source and the clear plan is the confidence index of the project.

[Benarand]

One of the no less important criteria in choosing a successful ICO is the team. Despite all the words about the professionalism of the team, in practice, the main guarantee of the productive work of the team and the success of the project itself is the faith and endeavor of each member of the team. You can buy a cool specialist, but sincerely devoted to the work of the employee - no. Therefore, when studying the information on the composition of the upcoming ICO team, remember the importance of such concepts as "belief in a common cause" and "devotion to the project". Because it is these characteristics that determine the chances of the campaign for the successful implementation of the set goals.

[bittraffic]

If the team doesn't show their faces on videos but only pictures that itself on linkedin or in facebook profiles is something suspicious already.  I prefer to see the team members answering questions on youtube video kind a like an AMA even when a project is just in a developing stage like ICO.  But I'd start to trust them if they do. One example I can testify here is the bubbletone ICO, their team members really did a good marketing and show their faces on their youtube video like they hide nothing.

[natsu01]

Does the team behind an ICO really matters when it comes to determining if the ICO is to be trusted or not?

Yes it really matters to them because everything that will happen to their projects during their ICO period will reflect to their name and image, everything including the response that comes from their participants including the investors and bounty hunters. The team will be the host and will be damaged if their ICO is a scam.

We should consider the team, as it is easy to do ICO but the team and the managing team should always be trusted always, we need a reliable team for us to join, it is also important besides from the team is their platform, the vision of their project if it is for long term or not.

[MyIota]

I can't tell if this is a troll thread or not lol. Your poll says: "1/1"

An ICo's team matters nowadays because everyone basically sucks. I mean like, if you're looking at a coin that's an erc20 token, then you know they have 0 coding skills. I don't want to sound like a dick, but it's true. If they can't code their own blockchain coin, then that's already negative points. So you can assume they're not super great devs.

So if you see ERC20 token, immediately think that they have to either be great businessmen or revolutionary leaders. Because that's what's going to make or break that ICO. If it's some kid who just graduated college in Art History who's the CEo behind the ICO, then bail.

On the other hand, if you have a standalone coin built, and the dev is a mystery, then you can give that coin a little bit more of your time and patience. You can judge that coin by the code and function, rather than by the history of the dev team.

[baghdatis1990]

      In fact, the ICO project team plays the most important role and is the decision maker to invest in a project or not. The number of members, their experience, the real data, are crucial to the choice of projects.

[the13thsymphony]

It will because how will you know that the team can deliver the expectation or what they promised for their project. It will also be the basis whether the ICO will deliver or just be another scam. This is also the basis of any company that will flourish. 

[Mr.Freeman]

You can not pay attention only to the team. We must consider everything in complex: the idea, the finished product (the presence of at least a beta version), white paper, the number and distribution of tokens, the presence of escrow, and, of course, the team.

[Radzivill]

Of course this is important! The more professional the team, the more chances that the project will succeed. Another question is that sometimes it is difficult to assess their professionalism)

[Treasurer]

The team can be trusted if the TOP members of the team have accounts in social networks, they are open long ago, there are a lot of subscribers and it is possible to track the career of the top project creators and the history of the project.

[fraufreiheit]

The team is always very important. I examine the team definitely. Trusted experts make the project successful.

It is also important to check if all the people mentioned in Whitepaper really work with this ICO. Contact them on Facebook or LinkedIn, look for info about their current work with the project or ask them in personal messages. It is OK to do so because nowadays the quantity of scam ICOs is extremely high.

[dealung]

Does the team behind an ICO really matters when it comes to determining if the ICO is to be trusted or not?

Of course it is very important, to prove the person from the TIM that you must know facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter or other biodata that explain someone from the TIM and check their photos through Photoshop whether it is original photos or Photoshop edits.

[PatrickEClifford]

That is a tough question you got there buddy  
But if you think about it the only thing that really matters is a team.

[last7minutes]

The team is the most important factor for a coin, as a team is which does most of the work for the coin and they decide which direction a coin goes. What if the team members of a coin are scammers? Where do you think the coin will end up going.

Team is very important and I usually check team members social media profiles and search for them in google. ICO's performance depends on how skilled and talented the team is. And also quick check helps to see if the team members were spotted at spam activities before.

[CryptoRama]

I vote for yes, it is, because if you have a lazy team or scammers in that team then the probability of success is close to 0, I mean, if someone is working on something, he should work and not scamming other people.

[twostepsally]

ICO is good investment. But you choose the best project. If don't know how choose the best project. First learn the project and read the whit sheet. Then easy to choose the help to invest the best ICO project. Hold the project token. It long time to hold it. It increase the price day by day. Then you get more profit.   

[dimon01]

Yes, this plays the role of transparency, because if the person is verified and probably well known, or at least known, there is almost 100% guarantee of that the project has not being faked.

[lovemsngr]

Well, in the problem of analyzing the team on the fake existence, it matters as a human needs water to survive. While, to analyze their concept and market positions- obviously you will not need it.
