This is early days, very early days. Give it a few years, and people won't bat an eye at raising capital via the blockchain. It's just more efficient and easier. I mean, if you like having to travel around, having tons of meetings and discussions, hoping your lead investor doesn't pull out and fuck up the whole round, by all means keep supporting the current system. It just is going to change, massively, in the coming years. There will be some sort of place for traditional capital but blockchain capital raising will hit every industry.

I understand. I asked for the "largest/most successful 'traditional' tech company that used an ICO" (totally outside of fintech) -- a company shipping products, like a hoverboard or whatever.

I take your response to mean that you don't know of a single ("traditional") tech company outside of fintech or blockchain-related technology that has used ICO's instead of angellist/VC's investors. But your response makes it clear that this will happen in the future.

I hope I have this right? Thank you.

Thanks - this is what I asked for in my first comment. Any hardware companies?
