About Pool
Pool is building a new financial account from scratch. We're more connected than ever - and yet, sharing and managing money together is rife with technical hurdles, manual tracking and barebones transparency. Pool allows for co-ownership of funds, fine-grained spending controls, and collaborative features that have not been available in most consumer accounts to date: debit cards for any or all members, granular permissions and per-user roles, and clear attribution and transparency of spending. When we pool resources, we accomplish goals that are impossible to achieve alone.
We're a meticulous, product-obsessed team with experience building consumer financial products at places like Cash App, Square, Stripe, and a mobile app called Braid. Pool has raised $4.5 million in venture capital funding and is partnered with First Internet Bank and Visa to bring this to the world.
