### **The Founder Interface**

For those showcasing their companies and raising through SOAR, the dashboard shifts the focus on project management.

* **Project Management**: Founders can track their total launched and upcoming projects, as well as manage current drafts.
* **Founder Tips**: A dedicated sidebar provides a checklist to ensure your project is successful, from completing your profile thoroughly to engaging with your community early.

The central hub for any founder is the **Get Discovered** page. This is where you transition from a "Draft" to a live, liquid asset in the Internet Capital Market (ICM).

* **KPI Overview**: At the top of the interface, you can track the status of your entire portfolio: **Total Projects**, **Launched Projects**, and **Upcoming Launches**.
* **Project Lifecycle Tabs**: Organize your workflow using the status filters:
  * **Scheduled**: Projects with a confirmed launch date.
  * **Drafts**: In-progress setups that are not yet public.
  * **Requested Curation**: Projects currently undergoing the **Verified** vetting process.
  * **Launched**: Active tokens with live trading and valuation tracking.

#### **The Legal Foundation**

While a project can raise before completing verification and signing the DRP agreement, it is not encouraged. Companies that complete the entirety of the verification before launching average 5x more engagement and 10x more raised capital. The following are the legal agreements and their description so that a founder can have an understanding of what the full verification process entails on SOAR.

1. **The Launch Agreement**: Governing the technical deployment and platform terms. 
2. **The Equity Agreement Addendum**: Establishing the dynamic Senior Obligation on Equity between the Founder's Company and SOAR.
3. **Verification (KYC/AML)**: These agreements are tied to mandatory KYC/AML and domain verification via third-party providers
