# How the Fund Presale Works

**How does it work?**

A presale whitelist is currently being created via application. Smart, dedicated, and skilled investors will be added to the whitelist and be given a presale allocation.\
\
Whitelisted presale investors will be given a timeslot to invest in the fund, similar to a whitelisted NFT mint, and receive $EDGE tokens in return.

The distribution of presale spots may look something like this:

This matrix will likely change as we near launch however the structure will remain similar.\

The tiers align to value the person brings to the fund and commitment level:

* **Diamond:** Core team or advisor member of the fund
* **Tier 1:** Top tier contributor to the fund who makes a large impact in solving problems or completing tasks for the fund pre and post launch
* **Tier 2:** Key contributor to the fund who occasionally solves problems and brings deal flow to the fund
* **Tier 3:** Adds significant value to the fund via their skills or network
* **Tier 4:** Adds value to the fund via their skills or network
* **Tier 5:** Engages with fund community, contributes to conversation on Discord and 𝕏&#x20;
