In a project everything must be prepared.
1. The team is experienced in technology so their concept will be good if it is experienced.
2. Funds must be prepared because building a project must have funds. Do not rely on funds from the sale of ICO / IEO. It will be difficult if the project does not develop.
3. Products must be prioritized because the project has a goal on the product so this step must take precedence.
4. Good marketing and can build a community with many who are interested in the project.
5. Do not underestimate tokens at the entry into the low exchange because it will anger the investors.
I totally agree with the OP I really think that's what we should look if we are going to invest to upcoming projects and if the developers and its team was able to follow or meet this kind things I'm pretty sure they will be successful.
