As for me, team is one of the factors of good ICO project. I can not trust and invest if I cann't find informations abouts team members. Also promotion is important. I do not like when managers use onle one or two platforms to comunicate with target audience and potential investors. In addition to the usual telegram there shoul be  reddit, medium, steemet. Upvotes.io can help with reddit.

As an investor the thing I do check out first is the projects usage and benefit that it can give out to humankind. If I do see that it can give convenience then I would really prefer this and next would be the team behind it because ideas wont really be molded and created if theres no team behind will pursue to make it as a reality. To the things mentioned on poll specially big investors and potential partnerships then this do happen mostly before.

I can't really comment on ICO's but for investments in general it needs to:
1. Have future potential - A practical use or application that people will need
2. Be undervalued - Not be the latest trend or fashion (therefore not in the news)
3. Be at key technical levels - preferably strong support
4. Have trustworthy people behind it - check their website and linkedin profiles

When weighing a potential investment option.
I consider factors like,
The team; how experienced and credible are they.
Also they have to be qualified to handle the project.

The process; Customer service, website upgrades.
Commitments.
The working product.

Is this all about ICOs?

As an investor the thing I do check out first is the projects usage and benefit that it can give out to humankind.

Use case is one of the important factors that most of the investors are forgetting.

It has been focused to road map, white papers, teams and other stuffs related to the team. But what's the use of that ICO token afterwards?

If it doesn't have valuable usage, don't consider it.

The first selling factor for me is the objective or purpose of the coin. This will make the product to be cherished by the people on the purpose it is meant to solve. The purpose of a coin is its actual selling point.

I think you are referring to ICOs before I ever make any investment I realize the following:

 - Hide information: Unless the purpose of the project is privacy, the survival of the project information unknown is a bad indicator that drives me to not invest.
 - The benefit of the project: If the project does not solve a problem or offer something, it will have no future.
reversed
 - Source code: If there is no reason to hide the code, I will not invest.

The rest of the factors "(whitepaper, roadmap, team, ads and etc)" are not as effective as they can be obtained if they pay about $ 1000-10,000

Before investing background check and due dilligence are the must. What is important for me is credibility of the team behind the project, open and transparent information sharing, the quality and potential future of the project.
If anything at all looks suspicious or something relevant can't be checked I wouldn't invest.

A good investor will do background check whatever it takes from any possible sources to the people behind the team. Reading whitepaper and roadmap is not the main course when dealing in a ICO because it's obvious that for a project to become hype and "trustworthy" they need to have a good and detailed whitepaper and roadmap.

The transparency of the team behind any project is a must. It will be my number 1 criteria if ever I will go back to ICO world. Also how well they are marketing their product and doing real life seminars and events about what the project is all about.

An investor tends to provide capital and work behind the project. they will monitor every project activity. before dropping investment they review each request. starting from the background of the road map and the budget needed. until after the project, does it work as planned or not.

Whitepaper? I no longer trust them because they can just hire someone to write for them. Scammers are willing to pay good money to write them so that they hide their real intentions. And don't buy the hype, see if the project has use in real life. You can also investigate the team behind (Linkedin or Github profiles) and see if they are legit or at least a very active member.

Balance your finances and see what you have to join. Get more knowledge, study the project and determine the direction. Plan well and ask some friends to know about the market, then discuss the final statement. Then invest.

yes it is true, to be more confident with what we will invest, we must do our own research to be more confident. usually I always see the use of the project for its potential in the future of cryptocurrency. like the latest innovations that can bring cryptocurrency more developed, because it will usually be an extraordinary ICO.

Agree with 1& 2, more or less, although I would argue that an investment doesn't necessarily have to be undervalued to be attractive.

I have to say, I've never invested in any of these ICOs.  I think most are scams, and if they're not scams then they're unnecessary projects that will never make money.  And there's also no way you can say with a straight face whether the token from an ICO is undervalued or not.  It's all guesswork.

#3 I definitely don't agree with, since I think TA is complete crap.  People put far too much weight into the technicals, whether it's coins or stocks or what have you.

#4 is meh.  It's hard for anyone to really evaluate people you don't know, since they're going to be putting on their best face--and they and the team could very easily turn around and scam in the end.  With ICO projects, it's important that the devs are real people.  It's almost laughable that anyone would have to write that, but we've seen so many scammers steal pictures from the internet and pass them off as their team.  But it is important that good people are running whatever you're investing in.  As I said, it's just hard to tell sometimes, especially in crypto where there's never usually a lot of transparency.

There is no important answer: a growing or stable market. In such markets, the chance of successful investing increases, and this is an important factor.

I think every of these options you gave are very important and should be checked for sure. The number as the first comment said should be the team that is behind the project, and I think when the term ‘Team’ is mentioned it has to do with the partnerships and the individuals behind the project, especially the big names.

When there is a good partnership then you don’t have to worry about the capital that is being used to fund the project cause everything is going to be just fine as long as they have a good team and investors.

I often do some analysis and share it with my friends before investing in cryptocurrencies. If everyone agrees, then I will not hesitate to invest!

[Ridwan Fauzi]

I agree with someone who chooses devs is the most important factor when choosing an ICO. Those who will determine the future of the ICO, be it popular and lead to a scam. Their social media that we have to know, and see the activity in the social media or someone can directly connect skype to prove he/her is real. And the background about devs is also important, whether he is able to do and resolve all the things that have been written on the roadmap and whitepaper.
