Partnered Sales
Learn more about how partnered sales work and how projects can apply to be a partnered project.
Partnered Sales for Projects
Fjord offers partnered sales, which are designed for projects seeking additional support and visibility through collaborations with external partners like KOLs, Web3 agencies, or other industry experts. These sales are subject to a vetting process to ensure certain standards are met.
How Partnered Sales Work
Partnered sales follow a streamlined process to ensure the project's viability and potential for success. The process is as follows:
Apply for Partnered Sale: Projects must first submit an application to Fjord to begin the process. You can apply here via this form.
Fjord Review and Approval: Once the application is submitted, Fjord conducts a comprehensive review of the project. This includes an assessment of the raise amount, sale type, expected community demand, valuation, the problem the project solves, and how value accrues back to the token. Projects must meet Fjord’s high standards to proceed to the next stage.
Third-Party Review and Approval: After Fjord’s approval, the project undergoes an additional review by a trusted third-party to ensure that the sale meets industry standards and offers maximum potential for both the project and the participants.
This multi-stage review process ensures that only well-vetted projects move forward to partnered sales on the Fjord platform.
Benefits of Partnered Sales
Additional Support: Projects in partnered sales receive additional support from external partners who bring expertise in marketing, community building, and strategic planning. These partnerships help increase visibility and drive interest in the sale.
Increased Credibility: Partnered sales benefit from Fjord’s review process and the endorsement of reputable third-party partners, enhancing the project's credibility in the market.
Enhanced Exposure: By working with partners, projects can tap into broader networks and communities, increasing their exposure to a larger audience.
Review Process and Criteria
At Fjord, we ensure that all partnered sales undergo a comprehensive review process to maintain high standards and ensure the project's viability. The process is as follows:
Fjord Review: Fjord conducts an initial review of the project. This includes evaluating key factors such as:
Raise Amount: The total funds being raised and how it aligns with the project’s objectives.
Raise Type: The type of sale being conducted (e.g., fixed price, tiered, or overflow sale) and its suitability for the project.
Expected Community Demand: The level of demand anticipated from the community for the project.
Valuation: The project’s market valuation and how it reflects the project's potential.
Problem-Solving: Whether the project addresses a real-world problem and provides a viable solution.
Value Accrual Back to the Token: How value will accrue back to the token over time and benefit token holders.
Token Availability: The percentage of the total token supply available for sale and distribution to the community during the partnered sale.
Future Upside for Buyers: The potential for long-term growth and appreciation in value for token holders, ensuring that early buyers can benefit from future project success.
Third-Party Review: After Fjord’s review, the project undergoes an additional evaluation by trusted third-party partners. These third parties may have their own specific review criteria but are aligned with Fjord's values of transparency and quality.
Additional Notes
Ethical Standards and Guidelines
All launch partners must adhere to Fjord's ethical standards, which ensure that the partnership and promotion of projects are unbiased and transparent. These standards help maintain the integrity of the platform and build trust with the community. Fjord reserves the right to remove any launch partner who violates these ethical guidelines.
Application Timeline
To ensure a smooth and efficient process, we recommend that projects apply for a partnered sale at least 4 weeks before their intended sale date. This allows sufficient time for the review process and the necessary due diligence. While projects can apply sooner, the 4-week window is ideal to ensure that everything is in place for a successful launch.
Key Considerations
Partnered sales are an excellent way for projects to gain additional support and exposure. However, it’s essential for projects to understand that the due diligence process is thorough and high standards must be met to ensure approval. The involvement of external partners adds value to the project, but successful execution relies on the project's ability to meet the criteria set forth during the review process.
