During the fundraising period, failing to reach the target amount or being oversubscribed due to excessive enthusiasm are both extreme warning signs of risk. On the surface, it may seem like a matter of investor apathy or enthusiasm, but the underlying logic is more troubling — the project team hasn't even managed basic financial arrangements. If a project is unwilling to invest its own funds to support itself, why should people believe it has genuine execution capability? Such "chain failures" in the fundraising process often indicate potential issues in subsequent development, operations, and even ecosystem construction.

Raising less than the target or oversubscription? Basically, it means the project team itself lacks confidence. I've seen this too many times.

Actually, oversubscription isn't necessarily a good thing; it can make things more anxious.

Failing to raise funds or oversubscription are both red flags, indicating that the project team hasn't figured things out themselves.

Failing to raise funds or oversubscription are all red flags. Basically, it means the project team itself lacks confidence. Truly solid projects have long since secured internal backing to fill the gaps, and these kinds of issues don't happen with them.

Fundraising is either lukewarm or booming; frankly, it's all because the project teams are uncertain themselves. --- Over-raising is just as heartbreaking as under-raising. Those who are truly confident should have already invested their own money. --- This logic makes sense—if fundraising can fail, then how will things proceed later? --- Projects that haven't even planned their fundraising properly—what are they expecting? --- Problems on both ends—what does that indicate? The project teams don't even believe in themselves.

Really, fundraising is extremely unpredictable—either dead silence or a huge hit. Even the project teams don't dare to bet on themselves, so how can we expect them to be reliable? If they mess up the fundraising stage, what else can we expect afterward...

Public offering data instantly reveals whether the project team is trustworthy; cracking the code is that simple.
