Governance
Built for execution.
Edge Fund runs like a traditional investment fund, powered by a large contributor network. The Edge team will appoint a council of 5 existing investors—active VCs with elite deal flow— to make final deal recommendations. Many of our existing team and advisors will be ideal candidates for these seats.
$EDGE holders (The Network)
The primary role of an $EDGE holder is to find, source, and propose deals to the council. Submissions will be made through our website (coming soon). Holders can also:
Offer diligence on deals, route intros, and vote in Council elections.
Stake to earn deal badges & participate in Edge Rewards and earn EDGE (see Tokenomics).
Why only 5?
DAO like structures fail when they rely on thousands of contributors to constantly vote on everything. A small number of extremely smart and dedicated individuals can be agile making final decisions while the rest of our community works hard to support their decision making and provide them with deal flow, data, analyses, and proposals.
Contributors
Council members are able to make hires for themselves or for the group to help them make better decisions. Council members may use $EDGE in the treasury to pay hires if approved by the council. They may also make independent hires without council approval and pay them with a % of their council pay.
Council pay structure
This will be a very competitive role. Council members will be paid a salary in $EDGE subject to vesting. They will also split 10% of the total distribution from the Edge Reward Pool as explained in Tokenomics.
How we exit positions
Fund lifespan: Target 3 years.
Maturity sales: When an investment reaches its maturity date, the 5-member Council decides if/when to liquidate.
Execution approach: Minimize market impact by selling in increments over time (e.g., TWAP/laddered slices; OTC blocks when available).
End-of-fund assets: If positions haven’t matured by the end of the fund, we continue to hold until a rational exit.
