The Aera Force Community

ℹ️
The Following Page outlines proposed aspects of the Aera Force community, and how non-accredited investors can plug in and build the future of the movement. As the community grows, we will continue to iterate on this page. Our goal is to build a foundational structure that leads to increased decentralisation over time.

ℹ️
The Fund will be collectively managed by members of the Aera Force DAO, who will be able to vote on where to allocate capital. Day to day fund operations will be managed by the Core Team, which will include members from the fund’s GPs as well as community members taking up specific roles.
DAO Members
Members of the DAO will fall into three major archetypes.
  1. Investors: Aera Force DAO investors are accredited investors who have completed a KYC and accreditation process to verify their elligibilty to invest. Investors recieve a financial interest in the syndicate investments proportional to their investment and voting rights.
  1. GP’s: The Fund’s GPs will oversee day-to-day operations of the fund, and serve as “leads” to the legal entities, companies, and partners the DAO is working with.
  1. Aera Force Champions: Aera Force Champions are non-accredited investors who still participate in the movement by leading the DAO community playing multiple roles. These will comprise of sourcing deals, completing diligence bounties, researching new fields and approaches, expanding our online presence, and contributing to our overall goal of a carbon neutral future. The design of how and where the community and Champions plug in, will be developed collaboratively over the coming weeks and months.
 
DAO Teams / Roles
It is anticipated that Aera Force Teams will form as small groups of Aera Force Champions and Investors working to support the community. Every DAO team will have a GP member serving as a touchpoint, but not necessarily “leading” the team itself. Every team will report to the broader community, and have the opportunity to earn bounties and Carry Share for contributing.
 
Aera Force work-streams that will require teams and lead roles include:
Team / roleStructure / Responsibilities
ReFi Researchers Structure: Community researchers Responsibilities: Diving deep into the “how” and uncovering new projects and solutions in the regenerative finance space. Writing clear summaries of companies that Aera Force has not seen before. Once a contributor in this team performs well for 2-3 months and has interest, they can progress into Scouts, Diligence Specialists, or receive priority research tasks.
ReFi Guru / Research LeadStructure: Akin to the deals leader but for refi research to coordinate and energise Refi Researchers. They must have a climate research background, understanding of how climate startups work (VC, accelerator), and be willing to contribute operationally. Responsibilities: Filters every inbound opportunities, brings a climate and founder-friendly perspective to support the deals process & analysis, works with diligence leader to coordinate scouts, helps the community with ReFi/climate specific questions, and interviews candidates for research.
ScoutsStructure: A group of approved people who can take inbound calls — they must have investment experience, relevant sector experience, or have earned this title through contributions. Responsibilities: Represents Aera Force on a call with inbound companies, summarize the critical points from a meeting to the IC. They can choose to become an advocate for the deal alongside the diligence contributor
Diligence Specialists Structure: Small pool of approved community contributors with climate or web3 specialities and analyst experience Responsibilities: The Diligence Team will be responsible for running a full due diligence process on projects to guide Aera Force’s investment decisions. These projects have already been screened by the scouts
Diligence Ops LeadStructure: Team member who coordinates the deal flow and diligence process, as well as assigning Diligence Specialists Responsibilities: Provides feedback to the diligence specialists, organizes the Green Team agenda, onboards diligence specialists, and refines documents or processes
Green Team (Investment Committee)Structure: Five-selected representatives — a selection of climate or tokenomics expert advisors, the core Aera team, and the diligence leaders Responsibilities: Assess the inbound companies for aspects critical to their success, improve investment assessment and processes, and send the best web3 climate founders to an Aera Force community vote
Partnerships (Phase II) Structure: A group of Aera Force Champions who are able to scale our community and further our mission by finding strategic partners to work with Responsibilities: Partnerships will be responsible for managing relationships with DAOs, outlets, and incubators within the regenerative finance ecosystem and figuring out ways Aera Force can support
Incubator (Phase II) Structure: A group of Aera Force champions who are industry experts in the regenerative ecosystem, builders, and connectors and have experience accelerating growth startups Responsibilities: The incubator team is tasked to accelerate the opportunities the DAO votes on to be resourced by the fund. They will be responsible for kick-starting the growth and building out an audacious and achievable roadmaps for the opportunities that are picked to be part of the Aera Force incubator program
Storytelling (Phase II) Structure: A group of Aera Force champions passionate to contribute to the community by creating and amplifying our brand + mission Responsibilities: Producing content — both on new systems and approaches and on the space itself — will be a crucial product of the Aera Force community. The storytelling team will be responsible for communicating the Aera Force’s actions, research, and findings with the world.
Community Structure: A group of Aera Force champions who are eager to strengthen the Aera Force community. Responsibilities: Creating new processes to streamline community operations to increase engagement, foster Aera Force’s culture around aligned mission, and lead events to build meaningful relationships amongst the community.
 
Getting involved In Teams:
âś…
To create a hyper engaged and impactful community furthering Aera Force’s mission, the Champions will collectively curate and participate in an onboarding experience.
 
As the community forms over the coming months, how members are onboarded and integrated will be co-developed. An example on-boarding may flow as follows:
 
Step 1 - Champions join discord and decides their role within the community based on available teams, expertise, and interest
Step 2 - Champion then is introduced to existing members within their assigned team and completes onboarding message and invitation to next team call
Step 3 - Champion is paired or connected with a Guide to get up-to-speed on existing processes related to assigned team / role and be a contact for questions
Step 4 - Champion decides what scope they can take on and how much time they would like to dedicate to the team they’ve assigned themselves too
Step 5 - Champion begins to contribute to their assigned team’s role and contributions are tracked and rewarded from team leads
 
Community Member Rewards
Community rewards will be defined and shaped as the roles evolve and take shape. For now, the following are proposed:
  • ETH bounties for Pre-Screen and full Due Diligence Research from a Community earn-pool representing 5% of capital raised
  • Carry Share for community functions including Scouting opportunities (Carry is explained here).
