ICO's of some form are unquestionably the future of raising capital for most tech companies up to a certain size (at least until ICO investors can consistently put in $1bil+). I'm saying this as someone who is living the ICO experience (<a href="https://airtoken.com" rel="nofollow">https://airtoken.com</a>). Compared to traditional angel / VC raising, this is hands down the best use case for blockchain so far. VC's and angel groups will become pre-sale stakers and stamps of approval for companies to boost the ICO, but the days of entrepreneurs spending months traveling around wining and dining the richest people in tech are over.
