Pool: all the Interests declared on the same target. This column shows the number of Backers and the combined amount of their tickets, to validated members only.
Terms for Backers →
BackBacking a startup on Uback (pronounced “you back”) can be done in two ways:

Interest · free: a non-binding declaration that signals your demand for a company or a sector. You can move or withdraw it at any time, with up to 5 at once.

Intention · coming soon: a paid, confirmed declaration, still non-binding. Once its pool reaches critical mass, it is presented to a company by a partner desk.

Neither is an order nor a commitment to invest.
