A Look Into Vechain (VEN)

I always spend some time looking into new coins to see what would be the best bet to invest for myself. I see coins as companies and investing in them is just like investing in startups and is purely a gamble on the company and their product delivery times based on their road map. There is only so much we can look into for new ico or cryptocurrency block chain companies. There is only so much info I can find online so please do your own research. I do own VEN myself and always looking for reasons to sell off or buy more. Always open to other peoples insight that I may have missed or have gotten wrong.
*This is not investment advise or a buy/trade call.
