The running structure of Vintage DAO is the blind pool fund, managed by the Governor group, which makes investment decisions while investors enjoy the benefits. After the DAO is deployed, a blind pool fund needs to be initiated through a Fund Establishment proposal to start investment activities. There are two stages to setting up a Phase I fund:

Stage
Fund Establishment Proposal
It is initiated by any Governor, and the Governors group votes on whether to initiate the new fund.
Fundraising
When the Fund Establishment proposal is approved, those who meet the Investor Eligibility criteria will be able to advance the deposit. If the fundraising is successful, a new fund is established. Those who successfully advance deposit and obtain investment shares after fundraising will become investors in the fund.

Fund Establishment Proposal

Enter the DAO Management page and click the Fund Establishment proposal card to open the submission page of the Fund Establishment proposal.

As a DAO Manager, you need to pay attention to the following points during the fundraising phase of a fund:

  • Fundraising countdown.
  • Current Raised: The Fund will be successfully raised only if the amount exceeds the Minimum Funding Goal set by the Fund, otherwise it will fail.

When the fundraising period ends, you need to click Execute button to execute the transaction. If the actual amount raised is equal to or greater than the Minimum Funding Goal, the new fund will be successfully established and enter the fund operation cycle. Depending on the final allocation of the investment share, the investor can get back the portion of the advance deposit that is greater than the Minimum Funding Goal. If the actual fund raised is less than the Minimum Funding Goal, the new fund establishment will fail, and all Investors who participated in the fund raised will need to get back all funds that have been deposited, please see For Investors / Invest In A Fund for details.
