# How we work

### The Basics

* A start up company can apply to LGG to obtain funding of up to $25,000 for a percentage of their company during a 'Funding Round'.
  * We expect to have Funding Rounds at least twice per year.
* They will then have the opportunity to pitch their company and future plans to the LGG community if shortlisted.
* The LGG community votes for their favourite startup company to fund.
* The winning startup receives the requested funding for a previously agreed share of their company.
* LGG then gives away 50% of those shares to randomly selected LGG members that voted for that startup company.
* There will be 2 other companies in each Funding Round where holders can invest as much as they wish to, up to the value of the funding required by the start up, and will then own shares ('Coins') in that company in line with their investment. 
* The businesses accounts will be reviewed on an annual basis and following a full calendar year, profits that have arisen since the initial investment will be given back as per the coin's ownership to the investors.
