FAQ
An Income Pool is a group of individuals who agree to contribute a small portion (e.g., 3%) of their future earnings above a certain threshold (e.g., $1M in annual earnings) to a shared pool. This pool is administered by Pando, who verifies income annually and facilitates financial distributions.
Pando takes a 10% fee of the distributions made from the income pool. This fee is deducted from the pooled contributions before the remaining amount is evenly redistributed among the pool members.
No, joining a peer group and an income pool are separate offerings. You can participate in one or both, depending on your needs and preferences. The peer group provides monthly meetings and expert facilitation, while the income pool offers financial diversification and liquidity.
Pando highly vets founders through interviews and peer-vetting to ensure a high-quality community. On average, founders in the pool have had 4x outsized returns. This process helps counter adverse selection by selecting founders with strong potential and track records.
No, there is no upfront investment required to join a pool. The contributions are made from future earnings above a specified hurdle rate (e.g., $1M annually), not from current assets or equity.
Contributions are collected based on annual income above the hurdle rate. Pando verifies income through tax returns and robust payment trails. The contributions are then evenly redistributed among pool members, with Pando taking a 10% fee of the distributions.
If a pool member's income falls below the hurdle rate, they are not required to contribute. However, they may still receive distributions from the pool if other members' earnings exceed the hurdle rate. The pool is designed to support members through both good times and challenges.
Yes, Pando offers income sharing agreements through its Income Pooling product. These agreements allow founders to participate in each other's upside, diversify risk, and access liquidity without selling equity.
