I do not think there are any such things as website or platforms to find new projects. I think it is best to follow relevant pages on twitter, telegraph and the crypto related news outlet to get a glismpe of new upcoming projects. And as an early investor, you need to conduct individual researches before joining token sale for new projects

Hmm, not sure if there is a website that track any projects before they are launch. Usually though, those projects will just promote it on social media and that's where we heard about them before this huge websites starts to notice them and obviously, they will be listed on them with some good reviews (of course this is a paid reviews).

Others have inside track, maybe they know someone from the inside or they are part of the team themselves.

Are for the criteria this has been discussed already. But let me give you a few:

- the team behind, do you have the experience?
- the project itself, roadmap, what they can offer? whitepaper? it should be very well written
- website, it is done professionally?

I mostly using icodrop caused by this site is giving whole information started from what venture capital that backed the project, who is behind the project, and many more. My criteria if it must be backed by popular venture capital from the big exchange site. It caused by it will be listed into the major exchange site if it can be backed like alameda research, coinbase ventures or binance labs. This is a signal if the project potentially listed into the majkor exchange site.

Well, I don't get into ICOs these days as they've been not that popular anymore for the past 4 years. But if you're still into it, just to the Announcements (Altcoins) and Tokens (Altcoins).

And what criteria do you use to invest in them?

No criteria anymore as I don't invest on them anymore. Do people still invests on them? maybe a very few that still think that there's huge money on it but not anymore for the past years.

I think there is no such website, if you want to see new ICO then you can visit CMC or Launchpad platform for IDO. All new projects are under development and you should know some reliable sources and partners of the project before joining the ICO.

Is ICO still a thing? I thought they were dead already.

Anyway, you can find about completely new projects through this forum announcement thread, on reddit and other social media sites. Some googling might help you too. I am sure there are platforms that announces such upcoming projects. The only thing is that you will end up most likely investing in a shit or a scam project. Why take such risks while there are already well known casinos?

I'm not sure if some people are still interested in ICOs and whether they will help them or not, but in my opinion, they are time-consuming and offer few attractive opportunities. In recent years, the market has changed a lot in terms of approaches to new projects such as IEO, IDO, NFT, testnet, staking, etc. Some of the old terms that I see are becoming less and less effective as they seem to be. As it is only momentary according to each trend, it is necessary to have an adaptive way to approach quickly. I don't think many people will share the same path, as I myself have realized that approaching new projects is not a top priority for action either. But I have some methods, like following top platforms like ETH, BNB, DOT, LINK, AVA, SOL,... to find opportunities. The ecosystem of these platforms is getting bigger and bigger, and the development to meet the needs is happening in line with the trend. And the simple way of looking at the team, product design, investment fund, roadmap, et cetera, are some of the criteria that I prioritize.

ICO? we are already in 2022 and I don't know if investors are still interested on them. Anyhow, I'm not aware of any websites that track them before they are are launch. It's maybe because there are no more hype on them that's why they are not covered.

And what criteria do you use to invest in them?

This is subjective, even team members that exposed themselves are going to scam you or the project will fail for whatever reason, i.e. Terra. We can say that it's really a gamble investing on them.

I dont think it is very easy to know a project very well in ico or before. Sometimes a project is looking for their service to society but people can't believe. As you all know a big and better project can not go up with traders help or investors money but if anybody search any project before launch they can make good amout of money. At present time 99% projects are scam so very difficult to know a project before launchpad.

There's no singular platform that could be trusted to help you get all the information you need to know before making your investment decisions. The research is meant to be done by you. There are several influencers that are paid to influence your decision by singing praises of the awesomeness of projects, those are not to be trusted. Always do your own research and know the truth for your self.

[antsam]

I don't see any guarantees on the ICO assessor's website because many of them are not objective, give high marks to a project but it turns out to be a failure. If you want to see the feasibility of investing in a project, it is better to study it yourself. Dig up the information through their social media, see their collaboration and backing projects, I think this is more valid

I am part of a few launchpads and those launchpads also have telegram groups of course and this is a pretty good place to hear talks and chats about interesting new projects that are launching even if those projects are not offered by that launchpad. Whenever i hear about a project that is interesting to me i just look up their website and take a look at all the available info and documents. I read the whitepaper and if it has only a few pages or has just generic stuff written in it then this is a already a red flag for me. I also take a look at the use-case of the project, the team, the roadmap and of course also the tokenomics and the vesting schedule.
That being said, because of the bear market there are almost no new projects launching at the moment anyway.

The first thing I saw before the ICO was an announcement about the project and their partners, so that when the ICO was launched it could be a consideration for investment if their collaborating partners are good and big, because projects that have collaborating partners and a solid team will always be successful thanks to their hard work in terms of building a new product to put on the market.

[cheezcarls]

I do not think these so-called ICO rating websites are helping much for us to know and determine if a certain project is reliable or not. The ratings can be manipulated or faked (and even KYC can be loopholed like the case of Decentraworld exit scam even if its a priority project on the Kommunitas launchpad). Even the launchpads won’t help much in the KYC part too because these scammers are getting smarter than ever. We just have to do our own diligence and acknowledge  the risks before investing.

It would have been great to have a platform or website where projects could be tracked and investors could be guided before making investments decisions, but I doubt there are any which could be trusted, because most of the platforms or websites are being paid by projects for advertising purposes and most times when you see them trying to flaunt the usecase and potential of a project, it's purely an advertising gimmick.

ICOs?
It's not a new project approach that I find common these days, as IEOs and IDOs bring less risk, but this period is also not great for thinking about profit opportunities with new projects. While things are more difficult than before, I still have some work to do to discover new projects through https://cryptorank.io/
There are also ways, like following the media of top platforms, to get early access to new projects.

I'm not exactly sure if there is a platform or website that tracking a new projects, its my first time to hear,.. the only thing I know is to determine if the new project has a criteria  if this is a scam are such as follows, no whitepaper, no team member in the projects, and no website. But it is good if there's a website for this tracking a new projects dude.

[makishart]

I often used the site like cryptorank as a way for me to get the latest information about what new ico that will be launched very soon. This site is containing so many information related with the cryptocurrency. I think that would become the most suitable site for you to get the latest information about ico. Some people above me said ico were dead but this kind of fundraising already evolved into the new things. Just like some things that became very familiar right now i.e IDO, IEO and many more.
You can find that on that site and i guess if that will be really helpful for you

you can try your luck with:

 - https://coinmarketcal.com/en/ : BEST ONE
 - https://coinscalendar.com/
 - https://coindar.org/
 - https://www.coinevents.co/hard-fork/

I used them in the past to make some profits, they are good sources of information but the market is volatile which makes the chances of success of good projects slim and therefore developers will think several times before launching advertising campaigns.

The best thing you can do is buy bitcoin or save cash to buy bitcoin instead of wasting your time with these projects.
