Overview

We crafted a unique investment theory and model. The DAO itself will operate as a non-profit, while operating separate utility token.

Treasury in-flows:

• Token sales
• Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
• Larger donations from partner funds
• Possibly smaller donations
• Grants
• Revenue from DAO activities, NFT sales, products, platform etc.

Treasury out-flows (exact split figures TBC):

• 20% non-profit grants
• 30% investment for equity in start-ups
• 30% investment for tokens in web3 start-ups
• 20% varied web3 token investments

All investments will be tightly aligned with our Theory of Change and vetted by our Venture Partners and Scientific Task Force.

Additionally, contributors are rewarded/paid in native $QUEST tokens.

Upside from investments goes back into the treasury (there is no carry to investors, their profit comes from token value increase). The Climate Treasury has then more assets to further its mission and the cycle repeats for maximized impact on climate. The treasury backs the value of the $QUEST token using a sophisticated DeFi 3.0 model that assures well-balanced management and steady growth (details will be released this summer).

Deal Flow

We foresee our deal flow to come from several sources:

• Our expanding community
• Our existing network
• Partnering Funds
