Reverse supports for-profit ventures to create its foundation. The funds generated from these investments help to create a sustainable fundraising model. This allows us to support our philanthropic grants and reward our community.
Reverse DAO can use its treasury [with the guidance of its active community] to invest or partner with green-tech, Web3 projects. Each project is selected by the community. A typical investment could yield an ROI in 12-to-18 months. At that point in time, the investment & profit is returned to the community. The DAO will vote on how to distribute those returns; including direct return to wallet holders, philanthropic initiatives, airdrops, rolling over to bigger projects, etc.
Some projects may not be suitable for the DAO, yet could still be viable for individual investors. In this case, the DAO can help coordinate a bundling of individual community members. Example, we coordinate 20 investors of $5K each and bundle our resources together so as a team raise $100K.
Why do this? Early seed rounds in new projects often have high minimums that an individual may not have access to. The Reverse DAO will coordinate this bundling and charge a fee for it, which will be returned to the Reverse DAO.
Reverse is aiming to run quarterly raises. To accomplish this, we are targeting $1 million USD monthly in $RVRS transactions which will allocate $150K quarterly for eco investments. Once funds are raised, various projects will be brought to the community for review. AMA (Ask Me Anything) sessions will be run so we can do deep-dives into their web3 aspects, positive environmental impact and expected ROI. Once the DAO approves a project, there is typically a lock-out period (example, 12 months) before returns can be expected.
$150K is available in the fundraise treasury. 3 projects are vying for that investment. For each project, financial & environmental documentation will be provided. Ability for community to ask questions and vote. Once a project is selected, an SAFT (Simple Agreement for Future Tokens) is signed. Note: An SAFT is an investor agreement to exchange financing for discounts on future tokens at a future date.
