I think that we should consider ICO as Start-up

[JohnCallahan]

Initial Coin Offering(ICO) is a great option for investing for the future run, not just for a few bucks, in a short pahse.These are mainly done by companies up for a development phase,unlike IPO, so will bring greater returns once developed after investment.

In an ico there are several options to be able to take advantage of it. we can follow the bounty or we can also invest in it. definitely ico is one good investment because there are many legit ico that can be followed, but keep in mind that we also have to be more careful in order to avoid the scam ico.

When I was newbie and researched on Crypto, My leader said me that ICO as Start-up in life.
There are many same point and different point between both. Example:
Same: New project, need investor ,need team.....
Different: ICO Crypto is technology, need technology, hard to guess.....
 What do you think?

There's a big similarity but one big difference is startups are compliant compare to ICO where people got scammed from bogus projects, startups. are government compliant because they have physical office whereas ICO almost aLL PLATFORM ARE INTERNET BASED.

Why consider? An ICO is a startup! The only difference that they are funding in crypto, not in fiat. When blockchain appeared, people started launching blockchain-based projects. So it is pretty natural to go funding in crypto.
