[cilgindansci]

You should create a reliable environment. The road map is understandable, the team is expert and the purpose should be obvious.
I hope you get a high investment with a successful project.

Hello Everybody,

Could you please share, if familiar, what are investors usually looking for in an ICO?

I am part of a team managing ICO (soon it will be announced) and it would be useful to know what the investors are considering when investing in an ICO?

Thanks in advance.

Investors are the life of ICOs, without investors they won't be here for long and projects will be hopeless. First thing I thought what are investors should consider in joining any ICOs is of course the Return of their investment, but what to really look for so that there investment is sure to be in good hands. There must have clear presentation or details of the project, the roadmap and the white paper. The team should be real people and not robot. Is the team highly competent of handling the project?  All other details are just minor to be considered for checking.

As an investor some of the most important criteria I use to judge an ICO is:

(1) The quality of the team behind the project - I want to see people with proven skills to advance the project and I want to be able to verify their information from reliable third party sources.

(2) A business worthy of tokenisation - I look for companies whose business idea is directly relevant to the blockchain and reject companies when the only reason for issuing tokens is their inability to raise funds another way.

(3) MVP - I want to see a minimum viable product, I think it is important to see the team have invested a little sweat equity before they start asking for money.

I think that most investors nowaday are looking for a very short term pump, but some large whales are buying discounted locked tokens and they may end up with the best results.

[kavishka]

i think If you're asking here you have lots more research to do.

Firstly, it's important to be honest and transparent, know your product for how long you will do it well and know. Investors are not fools, they are the main long-term perspective where they can make good money, a transparent project in which they will have no doubts to invest their capital.

Well, first of all we seek an ICO which is 100% legit one and who doesn’t turn its back on us when it enters into market. Yes we are looking for your legitimacy if you really going to launch an ICO someday.

You guys should have proper telegram team who will keep in touch with the group preoperly and should answer every question with full confidence.

I have seen team members giving answers out of thin air and confusing members.

If I’m going to invest in you then you should understand that it’s my hard money which you guys are playing with and I do expect exchanger listing of same coin as early as possible. :-)

A succinct communication of your project idea this can be done through stellar whitepapers, pitch decks, infographics. The team is an important element in aiding investor confidence especially what these members have been engaged with in the past and their involvement. I also think genuine investors sharing in the blockchain technology objective look for key features of the blockchain used such as is it public, permissionless, censorship resistant and borderless etc among others including the utility role of the project key to influence token price. Throw in as well regulation and legal framework issues around your project.

While all of this is correct, the most important thing an investor is looking for is security of his funds and assurance of a satisfactory return on investment. This can only be made possible if the project has a very unique focus capable of generating a large demand for the tokens

[Mkpez]

A good and nice project that will stand the tastes of time and solve vital issues.

[deep4u]

Most of the investors  look At following factors  before investing in the project

1 how much team is active and transparent with the community.
2 how much potential projects has
3 how much good reviews and ratings they have got
4 most important how much people are interested in buying or investing in the project.

Hope this helps you.

[Pumuckel21]

So i think one of the most important aspects is a really clean an smooth website with an pretty interface aswell as a good moderated ann thread of the ico in the forum here

[gadgetnerd]

most of them are only looking to make profit in a short term, that is the main reason of why there are a lot of dumps after the ico touches it's first exchange after the crowdsale

[dogandogru]

The most important thing that investors look before investing in it is the basic idea behind the project. It should be interesting and new and should be clearly explained. They also study about the team behind the ICO; their qualifications expertise, skills and experience. A good team can make a great impression upon the investors and lastly what are the goals of the ICO. They should be well communicated and realistic.

4 Things Investors Look For in an ICO:
Have a coherent business model.
Have a prototype.

[haryatiposton01]

before deciding to join an ICO, the things I noticed were,
if all these elements are in an ico, clear and absolute, I will spend time and money on the ICO.

Marketing:
Whitepapers
Pitch decks
Infographics
Videos, incl. founders answering questions.
Presentation – easy to follow, clean and transparent.
Website – graphics explain your project better than text
PR – interviews, press releases
Constant communication
Continuous and active marketing at any means. In this way investors will see that project owners are eager to market the project.

Product:
True and determined long term project
Real life usage/innovation
Problem being solved
Purpose of the blockchain
Prototype
Ready product
Uniqueness

Business Idea:
Business proposition
Business model
Competition
Market traction (quantitative evidence of market demand).

Project:
Clear road map
Stage of the project
Realistic goals

[Nicolas Bebek]

Of course the goal is to find the appropriate token and can bring many advantages. Because the primary purpose of the investment is of course to make a profit. then we recommend that you choose a project that is really nice, and have a future.

[nioctiB#1]

There are a lot of things that investors are looking for ICOs. The team should reveal their true identity and not faking it because faking it makes people think that it is only a scam project. It should also have a unique purpose and not just a copy of previous projects but if it is similar to other projects it should provide better service or development to compete with others. And of course it should have a good and straight to the point presentation. I mean the road map and whitepaper should be clear because with poor writing will also makes investors to not consider investing in your project.

I consider myself an investor and hence I feel I have the right to answer your question.
So investors just want one thing, and that is returns. They do not give a damn to any other stuff. They only look out for those coins who have potential to grow a lot in future and perhaps give them 2-4x returns.
So if there is any coin that satisfies this criteria, they happily invest in it and their investments aren't a few hundred dollars, they can go up to thousands and millions of dollars.
So a coin definitely has to show its worth if an investor has to consider it.

ofcourse the potential of the coin to have a good value in the future and also the project itself having a good project meaning it has a good potential for the coin to have a good value when it will be on the exchange.
