# Growth Pathways From the MVP stage, projects progress through one of two structured paths: #### **Direct Launch** Teams with proven traction and active communities can move directly to Surge’s launch protocols - **Fairlaunch**, **Ignition**, or **Gated Sales**.\ These routes offer immediate access to **fundraising**, **liquidity tools**, and **investor visibility**. #### **Due Diligence & Acceleration** Projects undergo structured review covering: * Team credibility and track record * Market positioning and roadmap maturity * Product traction and technical soundness * Tokenomics, compliance, and governance readiness Qualified teams enter **Acceleration**, receiving mentorship, ecosystem exposure, and liquidity infrastructure coordination. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
