Have you heard of ICOs with multiple rounds? Like they raise a certain amount of money now, use that money for primary aims and goals, and then a few months/years down the line (as part of their original plan) launch a second round to fund additional goals and further project development? Just wondering if this is a thing, if so please provide me with some links to projects that have done so.
It is like the soft opening of a business venture. This strategy can help them gain the interest of the potential investors. It is kind of normal for new projects that do not want to make unrealistic promises to their investors by only aiming for small objectives that will add up in the end. It is a good way to ensure that the project do not just want your money, it wants to be part of the development of the coin.
