# Fund Creation

Anyone with a wallet address can become a Guru by going through the Guru Signup flow at guru.fund/becomeaguru, as long as they pay the fund opening fee and provide enough starting capital.\
\
When a fund is created, a token representing the fund is created, and any new investors into the fund are minted tokens of the fund proportionate to their allocation amount.\
