ICOs are a means for companies to raise money. Instead of writing long business plans and conducting endless pitches, companies simply create their own cryptocurrency, gather a community behind their project, do some marketing and write a white paper. Because this sounds quite easy, ICOs are becoming increasingly popular. But what exactly are ICOs? In what cases does it make sense to run an ICO instead of raising money through VC or an IPO? We invited experts to discuss this topic and to give you insights into current developments in the market.
