Origin is a sharing economy marketplace and set of protocols that enables buyers and sellers of fractional use goods and services (car-sharing, service-based tasks, home-sharing, etc.) to transact on the distributed, open web. Using the Ethereum blockchain and Interplanetary File System (IPFS), the platform and community are decentralized, allowing for the creation and booking of services and goods without traditional intermediaries.
We are specifically building a large-scale commerce network that:
Transfers direct financial value (listing, transaction, and service fees) from large corporations like Airbnb, Craigslist, Postmates, etc. to individual buyers and sellers.
Transfers indirect financial and strategic value (privately aggregated silos of customer and transaction data) from those same corporations to the entire ecosystem.
Creates new financial value for marketplace participants that contribute to the growth of the network (e.g. building new technology for the 0rigin network, bootstrapping new product verticals, and referring new users and businesses).
Is built on an open, distributed, and shared data layer to promote transparency and collaboration.
Immediately allows buyers and sellers across the world to do business with each other without difficult currency conversions or tariffs.
Promotes personal liberty by not allowing a central corporation or government to impose arbitrary and oftentimes onerous rules on how to do business.
To accomplish these ambitious goals, the 0rigin platform is being launched with incentives from the outset to encourage other technologists, businesses, and consumers to build, contribute, and extend the ecosystem with us. We imagine a broad collection of vertical use cases (e.g short-term vacation rentals, freelance software engineering, tutoring for hire) that are built on top of 0rigin standards and shared data. Together, we will create the Internet economy of tomorrow.

Origin Protocol ICO review by Midgard Research:
The team members have experience in launching tech companies. The project has solid advisors from Pantera Capital, who are advising a bunch of successful ICOs. Over 30 projects have already claimed that they will use Origin protocol, and the Demo DApp is already available. However, tokens will be distributed no earlier than Q3 2018, the field is highly competitive and the decentralised competitors are modestly evaluated by the market. In order to compete with centralised competitors, the project would need to raise sufficient funds. The score will be updated once the token metrics are published (no info on hard cap yet).

Origin Protocol aims to revolutionize and replace many existing sharing economy marketplaces such as Airbnb, Fiverr, and Uber.
The team has some good experience in tech ventures, however I feel the roadmap is too vage and it remains to be seen whether the project can gain enough traction.

Giving the team a higher rating than some of the other ICO experts given the team's diversity of skills and of course coming from a variety of recognizable companies. We'll have to see how they leverage their backgrounds to deliver with Origin Protocol. Their roadmap is very lacking but appears to already be a backlog of projects wishing to leverage Origin, which is reassuring of their ability to be viable even in the short term.

I think there idea is not bad and they have a proper team together and the market they are tapping into is awesome as well. What has to be mentioned is that Origin has already signed partnerships with other DAPPs that is awesome.
