question

[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.

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.

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,....

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.

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.

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.

      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.

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.

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

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.
