The riskiness of IPO is much easier to assess than that of ICO, while the risk assessments of the latter are much more difficult, time-consuming and costly. If a company's IPO failed, a variety of fraud charges could follow. *But what if an ICO failed their investors?* Since it's not yet fully regulated, the suspected company will just run away with the raised fund and most of the investors will lose money.

Another serious problem is that after a successful ICO (hard cap reached) there is no guarantee that the company or any of its affiliates will continue as viable companies nor the Company will continue indefinitely as a successful entity. Most of ICOs break their promises and never achieve their goals (roadmap). People have lost more than $100 million because of ICO exit scams over the last two years.

[MOBU](https://mobu.io) platform is an attempt to set up a new market for security token with simple, transparent and standardized process.  Its decentralized platform provide formal legitimation that would serve the needs of any ICO. 

Since security token can provide legal protection on the investor's side, MOBU is able to provide a larger investor base enabling smaller and institutional investors to purchase the tokens. On the other hand, it makes it easier for ICO companies to gain access to capital.

The best thing about MOBU is that **it ensures issuers of ICOs not to have access to 100% of the funds after ICOs and investors will be able to exit ICOs pro-rata after ICO if the team does not uphold to targets set**. This is a real game changer for the crypto-ecosystem,  in terms of the way ICO companies have to protect the investors. 

No broken promises, no more exit scams. MOBU's approach transitions the investors away from current irrelevant process to a new way of doing ICO that improves productivity; enhances security and reduces costs.
