# Funding Proposals

Aetos V1 funding works by creating something called "**Sub-Vaults**". These are vault contracts that have a single objective \~ to fund a project.

Funds are sent from the Capital Vault to a newly created Sub Vault to be deployed to the funding opportunity. The sub-vaults act as multi sigs with the ability to perform any on-chain transaction including and not limited to: uniswap swaps, defi staking, nft buying etc.

In order to get started with funding a project, create a "**Fund Sub-Vault"** proposal found under capital proposals.

Sub-vaults are controlled by 2 types of entities: Managers and the DAO Council. Managers are selected during the proposal stage and can be changed later on.

Once the proposal is created, voted and processed, a sub-vault is deployed and is visible in the Vaults section.

Sub vault proposals can be found in the sub vault section on the proposal page. You can select which sub vault you wish to create a proposal for.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://aetos.gitbook.io/aetos.vc/getting-started/funding-proposals.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
