Hello guys,

We are working on launching an ICO to fund a business in the entertainment sector but we are not sure what the token distribution should be. So I am turning to you to hear your opinion on this matter.

The first possible distribution that we thought of is:

-   50% to the founders, team, advisors
-   10% in a pre-ICO where we sell to preferred investors at a set price
-   15% in the ICO, where we sell tokens to the public
-   15% we give through a referral system, where people receive tokens when they refer others to our service
-   10% reserve, in a multi-sig wallet that is controlled by our advisors.

The second possible distribution that we thought of is:

-   30% to the founders, team, advisors
-   10% in a pre-ICO where we sell tokens to preferred investors at a set price
-   40% in the ICO, where we sell tokens to the public
-   10% we give through a referral system, where people receive tokens when they refer others to our service
-   10% reserve, in a multi-sig wallet that is controlled by our advisors.

I know that most of the ICOs until now sold a greater percentage of their tokens to the public (Bancor only sold 50%, but most sell 70-80%), but we believe in our service and we want to keep most of the tokens ourselves to profit in the long term. We dont want to raise a shitload of money through an ICO and then go to Ibiza and drink cocktails. We want to raise some money, build our service and then share the revenue with the people that supported us through our ICO.

What is your take on this? Does the token distribution even matter when you chose an ICO to invest in? Or the product/service is more important? Or maybe you think another distribution would work better. Please let me know in the comments.

no no too much money to the founders, i would say 10% to them and the other equally distributed to pre ico and ico phase, the 10% of referral is good for me i agree with that, also i would increase to 20% for the signature, advertisement is more important
