Does anyone have a firm understanding of ICOs and how an US based company can take advantage of this process as a fundraiser?

This is a tough one. When issuing a new cryptocurrency you need to make sure that firstly you have an idea that is marketable and there is a use-case for your cryptocurrency. I ran into far to many crypto’s that had no purpose except to raise money which is not what blockchain is for. What are you trying to do and how does your crypto (assuming you’ll piggyback off of ETH be blockchain) benefit people/companies?

Hello Pascal. Thank you for your response. Yes we have a viable project that legitimately uses Blockchain technology to solve the problem we're addressing in the Entertainment Talent Employment space. We haven't decided on the blockchain platform we're going to use yet, but the project helps Independent artists with a more efficient way to find gigs and for clients to have a better way of finding talent to perform for their events. Of course, I can't share the details here but that's the basic idea.

I've been involved in quite a few cryptocurrency ICOs and it's been really cool. Pretty easy money, because for investors an ICO gives a very attractive price, and after listing on cryptocurrency exchanges, if the project is really good, you get a profit right away. At lenincoin you can also learn more about investing in cryptocurrencies or ICOs, IEOs

Thank you for your response, James. I'll be sure to look over the information you provided.
