We prepared this presentation for the Blockchain Cruise organized by CoinsBank (https://coinsbank.com/). The presentation outlines the basics of an ICO (crowdsale), explores the differences between VC, crowdfunding, and ICO as available fundraising tools. We also took a snapshot of the recent ICOs to see how they performed depending on their age, funds raised, and industry of focus. Don't forget to check out the videos in the presentation!
