Investing in seed rounds

[Crypt0Gore]

Do you think that launchpad platforms and projects will return soon? We are already in a bear market and very soon new projects will start using launchpads again, I am looking into seedify at the moment but I want to ask the audience, do you think this is a good idea or it's over for IDO, IGO and other?

I think the era of ICO and its similar products is over. Most projects would probably connect directly to a firm or a seed company without going public, and then open a small public token sale before it go to exchange. At least that's how some projects that I followed do their sale.

Why don't you try to focus on BTC instead? While the ROI might be smaller I think it is better than buying tokens from new projects. Or look around the top 100 or something and buy their token after looking at their roadmap and how well they do in the last few years. It should be easier to filter them out since weak projects will likely launch another round of funding or sell most of their tokens due to the bear market.

Do you seriously consider in investing gambling with another worthless token, after all those things that have happened? Damn, some people never learn. While already highlighted, I'm going to ask you if you've read the news lately? News, such as this one?

Here's a life cheat: open up a DEX, buy bitcoin, do self-custody. Done. You might get some significant appreciation in the long term, but don't take it for granted. It might not make you rich, but it most likely not make you poor, in comparison with shitcoins.

@Blackhatcoiner, no offense but bitcoin has nothing to do with the question I asked.

It's not my first time investing into launchpad projects, I invested in bloktopia and it 7x my money, I am sure I can never make such from bitcoin, yea bitcoin is the best but I am here for the profits only, seed rounds are cheap and they triple your money faster.

I know how to take profits so don't bother, thanks for the warning.

At the moment it is definitely pretty quite around those launchpads and community VC's. I still remember back in 2020 and 2021 the hype about those projects was huge. I am still part of DuckDao and Poolz which are both offering investment opportunities in private sales. Of course now in the very deep bear market the number of projects that is offered is way lower than during the bull market, but i still think that launchpads and community VC's are a good way to get into good projects very early.
For example DuckDao was offering a investment opportunity into the private sale around of Magicsquare a few weeks ago. That is a great project in my opinion with big investors like Binance, Kucoin and Huobi for example.

2021 start was so good for launchpad and many coins pumped so much and given very good profit to seed and Ido participants such as Blok which did 1000x after listing but after market crash all Projects failed and now it's very risky to invest in new projects because seed round Token distribution will be made in 1 year and token dumped so much in this bear market.

Return soon? Haven't you seen any projects currently on the IDO platforms? even when the market is not doing well, there are still many projects conducting their token sale on various IDO platforms. There will be more projects innovating in the crypto space, of course because of this we will see more projects on the IDO platform.

There is two answers if the project is legit and promising, it is a good idea to invest in seed rounds but if the project is a scam, then it is not.  Most investors, always want to be the first one to buy or invest in a start-up's initial offering sales because it is where the price is at its lowest.  So definitely it is a smart move.  But scams and frauds make it dangerous since there is no market on that tokens or coins yet to sell if ever the developer turned rogue early and run with the funds.

" The initial offer will never end mate, it will be forever as long as the people in the crypto space keep having new innovations. "

True, but not the only innovation that the initial offering won't end, majority of the reason is that scammers and fraud find it easier to bait investors and run with the money.

I do and why not? as long as crypto will be leaving from the winter season and the demand for the launch pad will be increasing again as before. People will be massively investing in the altcoins again. The only thing that can trigger it must be the trend in the crypto market.

We are already in a bear market and very soon new projects will start using launchpads again, I am looking into seedify at the moment but I want to ask the audience, do you think this is a good idea or it's over for IDO, IGO and other?

IDO might be the most preferable choice by lots of people. seedify was good but i think that the main concern must also on demand for the project itself. There are so many projects that hodl their launch in the launch pad due to the crypto winter. It's not good idea for now but probable would be turned into the good idea once market sees bullish pattern. I still try to take polkastarter over seedify as my main choice.

Any serious projects are most likely looking funding from private sales, not via "seedify". "Companies" who are looking to get funded via ICOs IDOs and IEOs etc are very often in there because they don't get the funding from serious investors, because serious investors to a better research and want more from their investments. They usually don't get fooled with tech jargon in a same way that generic crypto investor does, so of course these people will go anywhere where they get money for their project.

You might get those tokens flipped 2x or 10x or what ever but i wouldn't count any of them to be a sustainable business model, but mostly a glue and stick solution sold as a blockchain tech.

 - Based on what you said, you appear to have tried several projects in the crypto space. And I'm sure that the others that you invested in also made money somehow, right?

Now, why are you asking here if you already know the answer to the question dude? Or maybe you just made this statement to balance the ideas of other members here on the forum platform?

Because of what I see happening now, these types of projects will continue to rise in the crypto industry. Just always be careful and you should know how to check or choose a legitimate and illegitimate project that appears here.

Since you are aware of the dangers then there is not much to say except that probably this is not exactly the best moment to do something like this, since the market is in a very difficult position due to the collapse of the FTX exchange and this is probably going to remain true for at least a few months, so if I were you I will take my time and wait until things calm down a little, and only then I will look for new projects in which to invest.

[Reid]

As long as there are investors buying, I doubt it will stop. ICO, IDO, or whatever offering, they will exist for a long time because there are still developers who cannot afford to start the business so they will just let the investors do the funding while they continue their work.
I do think they are not a bad idea, but high risk is the twin brother of it. So, this kind of strategy is for those who have experience or investors who can really understand and monitor the market after the listing.
Well-timed selling will be the key for profits.

[Jancuki]

For myself, for the current situation, it would be nice if I just bought tokens that are already popular, with a note that we buy them in stages because we don't know what will happen in the future about market conditions, whether they will be the same or will go back up and even correct again.

Investing on launchpad isnt same as seed round. Its more of an early investment that you are negotiated directly by the project or got some slot to invest with. Launchpad are already advance and its price is quite higher than seed. But the difference for this its price and locked up period. The seed round may have been cheaper but restrict to such time where they can get their prebought tokens tu support a project.

They will return but not in this bear market and when people are very panic, fearful, uncertain about what they should do after the collapse of FTX exchange and FTT token.

They need time, months to digest this collapse, to reduce their fear and they will join market again in next bull run. It is more easily for cryptocurrency developers to launch new projects, to raise funds in bull markets. When people are positively about the market and future of blockchain and especially have profit temporarily, they are more easily to spend money to invest in new projects.

[Adbitco]

Does your question directly going to use any of this platform to make investment or what?
 To me if I may suggest to you is better you avoid such and focused on already established and existing project to invest with instead of using those platform you intend of and it would be a great idea you invested with a project which you know already gotten trust such as bitcoin and many more.

You mistakenly think that you can participate in the seed round, since this round is intended for large investors, of which you obviously are not one. As for the later stage of coin sales, it is now easier to buy coins from previously released projects, the price of which is even lower than the early investors paid, besides, such coins will not be blocked for a long time.

Yeah! those eras were rockin! back then when they first introduced it to the public but it was ruined by huge numbers of competitors and most of them are fake and no good at all. Right now, they still exist but their popularity has dramatically subsided, and almost nothing you can find a good investment from those. I agreed of choosing only BTC for investment nowadays, with ongoing negative trends regarding exchanges, it's really better to stick to BTC today rather than these tokens that are not really guaranteed to grow.

I have experienced investing on Creo Engine seed round. The only thing that I am disappointed so far is that it’s been vested and having months of cliff before settling off with the monthly unlock. If it has been mostly unlocked back then, I could have made my money back at least.

Because of the bear market right now that started off with the LUNA and Terra USD crash, the price of CREO in CoinMarketCap is way below the seed price. For me even if it’s pre-seed, there are no guarantees or promises that you would get back your money at least or even profits.
