Liquid tokens, venture holdings, redemptions and lockups need to be considered together.
02 · What we can help with
What the work covers

Operating arrangements
Map custody, administration, valuation, banking and governance responsibilities before launch.
03 · How to get started
What to bring
Start with what you have. These details help frame the first discussion.
Send the basics
- The investment strategy and proposed assets
- Target investors, fundraising plan and draft terms
- Manager, custody and service-provider plans
Then define the scope
Focus the first conversation on the decision you need to make.
The structure review is not investment advice or a promise of fundraising, licensing or service-provider acceptance.
