The Mission

From "Drawing the Short Stick" to Fueling Schools.

KadoPool wasn't built by a tech giant. It was built by a parent who was tired of the anxiety that comes with doing something good.

⚡ The Spark

The "Class Parent"
Nightmare.

We all know the feeling. The teacher's birthday is coming up. The WhatsApp group creates itself. And then... silence.

You drew the short stick. Now you are the organizer.

Suddenly, your evening is consumed by spreadsheets, chasing Venmo handles, and the endless "ping, ping, ping" of notifications. What should have been a gesture of gratitude turned into a logistical burden. I knew there had to be a way to organize without the overwhelm.

Removing the
Invisible Barrier.

The logistical mess was annoying, but the social pressure was heartbreaking.

In every classroom, families have different financial realities. When contributions are public, or when "suggested amounts" are too high, it creates shame at the bottom and pressure at the top.

"We built the Equity Shield to ensure that a $5 contribution looks exactly the same as a $50 one. Participation matters more than the amount."

KadoPool isn't just a payment app; it's a privacy tool that lets everyone belong to the group, regardless of their budget.

❤️ The Commitment

They do so much,
with so little.

Ultimately, this is about the teachers, coaches, and mentors who shape our children's lives. They often spend their own money on supplies and work long hours for little recognition.

That is why KadoPool is more than a gift-card store. We have committed to donating 30% of our platform revenue back to schools.
