Does a startup's equity in the pool vest over time? I'd be concerned about a startup joining the pool, and then immediately dissolving their company.

Would vesting help? Instead of dissolving you just... wait. Pretend to build.

Good way to get oneself kicked out of the pool before fully vesting.

[bananaface]

How do you legally kick them out?

[csentropy]

Because of the condition for participation in the pool is that your stock should continue to vest, for the membership shares in the pool to continue to vest.

[bananaface]

Wait so your startup has to continue to grow in order for you to be able to claim profits from the pool? Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

[geoburke]

As the first pool forms we'll collect the members' desired requirements for vesting rules, and write those into the legal docs.

[geoburke]

Yes, big concern here, so vesting happens over time.
