How does the working-capital contribution work?

Updated over 3 months ago

A slice of each member’s initial investment is set aside as a working-capital reserve. This covers day-to-day costs—fuel, insurance, crew salaries—before charter and hourly fees replenish cash. The reserve also funds unexpected maintenance so we never need a capital call. Think of it as the Pod’s checking account: big enough for smooth operations, small enough not to drag returns.

When you join Craft Pod, part of your initial investment is set aside in a “working capital” reserve.

Why?

  • To cover everyday operating costs, like fuel, insurance, and crew salaries, before revenue from charters and hourly fees comes in.

  • To cover unexpected expenses, like surprise maintenance, so the Pod doesn’t have to ask you for more money later.

Think of it like the Pod’s checking account:

  • Big enough to keep everything running smoothly.

  • Small enough that it doesn’t drag down your returns.
