You don’t need to contribute the full amount all at once. To reserve your spot in an upcoming Pod, you can start with a $10K deposit. The remaining minimum investment (usually around $1 million) isn’t due until two weeks before the Pod’s closing date. This schedule gives you some flexibility – you don’t have to fund the entire investment immediately.
If you want to contribute after the closing date, it would go into a future Pod. Each Pod is a one-time investment round, so after a Pod closes you can’t add new funds to that same Pod. Any additional amount you’d like to invest would be made by joining another Pod down the line.
We also offer flexibility in how you contribute. You can fund your investment with cash or with appreciated stock, whichever works best for you. Just make sure any stock you contribute is freely tradable and meets Craft’s guidelines. This way, you can choose the type of asset that’s most convenient for your contribution. (For context on how long Pods remain open and when we close them to new money, see How does Craft decide when to close a Pod or accept new members?)
