By that definition I guess all startups and IPOs are also scams.

The difference is that you can't do a IPO with just little more than a white paper, like most ICOs do.

"IPOs" happening separately from actually listing on an exchanges are always scams. Startups soliciting investment from the public rather than accredited investors are almost always scams.
