What defines a successful ICO?

[deevan]

The success of an ICO cannot be determined by the amount it raises or listing on exchanges, the most important factor is how much the project of that ICO is widespread among the community means that how many users have adopted the product & have started utilizing it, that ICO offers. Another important factor is its partnership with other giant projects. Then when userbase grows ultimately the price will also rise of the token as there will be more demand from the community. Then when this happens, most exchanges will gladly welcome to list their token on their exchanges.

the success of an ICO can be seen from the sales. the ICO that successful is if the ICO sales successfully get maximum results. after that, we can see the price of the token. if the price of tokens in the market is high then it can be said that the ICO is successful.

There's this ICO going on for an Australian company called BlockGrain.io They’re aiming to automate the supply chain with Grain and later on Fruit/Vegetables/Wool. The sale has started.

I think a successful ICO is the one that can fulfill it's target and roadmap, it will be better if the ico can attract big investors or big companies to cooperate, and for most of the investors the most important that the value that the developer mention in the beginning can be reach in a short time or few months after the ico launched

To begin with, a good project should have a "fresh" idea, which will have no competitors. The project team (especially well-known experts in the world) is also very important. And of course the site should be properly designed.

I think there are five necessary indicators.
team
business model
ICO framework
community
white paper
Many ICOs are overly touted for their application, depending on your judgment.

[Razick]

Successful ICOs always have the same things in common, which is a good product and a strong and dedicated community of investors behind it and with these, there is no way that an ico will not be successful. Once people realize that a coin has a product that can be useful for years to come then they invest in a bid to make the project better and if you do not have this then your project will not be successful

[ROMANALADIN]

The presence of a portfolio of team members of the project name, when created, the results achieved. If the team experts have a positive experience in the field of their development or a sphere close to it, this is a plus for the project.

[Endikadija]

Successful ICO for me is a project that allows to join as much investors as possible like if was in Fusion. It's better when a project doesn't have any presale or private sale bonuses, or they are locked for several months. And also successful ICO should plan their listings on good exchanges, the best example of a good marketing is LibraCredit.

The successful ico will have determined by the return of the price after it is listed on the exchange site, The development progress, how useful its product to the community and many more. A proper development means more investor will come. If it's a good project and big exchange site will be automatically listed it.

What do you think is a better definition of success in an ICO? The amount it raises or whether the token is ultimately listed on an exchange?

This paper argues eventual trading status is more important. 

I think it defines the success of ICO due to the progress and also it will be listed in the exchange. Not that one also but the number of investors matter most because they will be the one who will pay for it. The platform of the project will eventually a way for the investors to choose what is good of the project.

Tannerchum, I totally agree with you. The amount of investors is probably the single best determinant for long-term success of a project. If there are 100,000 investors each willing to give $10 for access to the eventual product, I think its for more likely to succeed than 10 investors who each invested $100,000 only to later try to sell their tokens at a higher price.

It would be great to see more projects implement a "maximum" amount per investor.

The ideai behind the project is paramount, then the team behind the project, then another important thing is the ability for the ico to convince the people and build a very strong community are the major things I have seen made an ico successful. This factors will propel the project to reach pass its softcap and mayb eventually hits hardcap.

[becak mesin]

An ICOs is defined success if it reaches the target of sale the tokens, it commonly said as pre-sale. If the pre-sale of the tokens reaches the target even more, the ICOs can be defined as successful. Other term is reaches the softcap. That my personal understanding to define success ICOs. 

[profit-shooter]

Successful ICO must have a good and promising concept, supported by the community. This will lead to its popularity. Also, analysis of the team is very important that is why It is required to look into CV of each team member and if they have had successful ICOs before. Hope this will help you!

And who will need project that have raised low funds and\or have a bad idea? From what trader should repelled in decision-making and analysis then? In my opinion should be both. Without collected funds and good ideas(that are connected), the coin will only be fit for a one-time pump.

having a quality product so that it can achieve a successful sale. It was for me a successful ICO. by such means, the team running the task well and certainly will provide good impact also on the selling value of the products they have for the future.

✅ Slightly TRX into the tape: the main network starts after 2 days 19 hours. Do not forget your tokens. It is better to keep them on the exchange, which supports the transition.

[fitraridwan]

personally, the success of an ICO is marked by many investors who join it. besides, the ICO that success can be seen from the price of tokens in the exchange. the higher prices of token make the project can be said successful. usually, a successful project will remain crowded although the ICO is finished.
