# Partnered Sales

### Partnered Sales on Fjord

**Partnered sales** refer to token sales conducted on Fjord in collaboration with an external partner, such as a key opinion leader (KOL), Web3 agency, or other supporting entities. These projects receive additional assistance beyond the Fjord team, with external partners often helping in the strategic direction, community engagement, and marketing efforts. The term "partnered" highlights that these projects are backed by experienced individuals or organizations who are contributing to the sale and potentially supporting the project in the longer term.

**How Partnered Sales Work**

All partnered sales on the Fjord platform undergo a review process. The process consists of the following stages:

1. **Internal Review by Fjord**: Our internal team conducts a thorough evaluation of each project, ensuring it meets our platform standards.
2. **Third-Party Review**: After the internal due diligence, an additional independent review by a trusted third party ensures that the project meets industry standards and expectations.

**Benefits of Partnered Sales**

* **Backing**: Partnered sales are supported by KOLs, Web3 agencies, and other strategic partners, which can help drive the project's visibility and credibility.
* **Enhanced Community Engagement**: The involvement of partners often leads to more targeted marketing and stronger community support, contributing to greater project success.
* **Vetting Process**: Projects in partnered sales undergo additional checks, providing greater confidence the project has been reviewed.

**Important Considerations**

While partnered sales offer many benefits, success is never guaranteed, and external support does not ensure that a project will achieve its goals. It’s crucial to always do your own due diligence and thoroughly research any project before participating in a sale. Remember that investing in early-stage projects involves inherent risks, and only buy into projects you are fully comfortable with.
