How to buy AEVO before listing?

I'm curious to know, how does one acquire AEVO tokens before they are officially listed on an exchange? Given the potential upside of early investments in cryptocurrencies, it seems like a strategic move to get in before the masses. However, the process of buying a coin that hasn't been listed publicly seems like it would be a bit of a mystery. Is there a pre-sale process? Or do investors have to rely on private deals and agreements with the development team? Additionally, what are the risks involved in investing in a coin that hasn't yet been listed? I'd appreciate any insights you can provide on the subject.
