Private Sale

An early funding round where tokens are sold to select investors (usually VCs and angels) at a discount before the public launch.

Definition

An early funding round where tokens are sold to select investors (usually VCs and angels) at a discount before the public launch. These investors typically get tokens at the lowest price but with a vesting schedule. When you see 'seed round' or 'private round' in tokenomics, these are the early backers.
