Investors Deserve TGE Allocation — Aim for 5–15% Upfront

A fair structure usually gives investors some upfront allocation plus vesting for the remainder. I would expect a negotiated TGE release for investors (commonly in the single-digit to low-teens percent range of their allocation) and mirrored or proportionate vesting for the team to keep incentives aligned.
