The team is the main core of successful projects and I always pay attention to the team members for choosing the good ones. Top exchanges also charge big amounts for listing or for the launching IEO. At least 1-year-old projects usually have a better approach in my view but I look at my IEO investmetns for the long term. Listing on the small exchanges is not going to add good points to the reputation of the project.
Thats true, if launching IEO on exchangers that have small volumes will be very difficult to get funds but if successful then they will be very easy to pay lists on exchangers that have large volumes such as kucoin or okex. IEO in Binance which i think is very good in raising funds
