Pools is a memberships platform for event organizers

Pools makes it easy for art, music, and other cultural communities to build memberships around their events. Inspired by the same methodology that museums have used to grow support, the platform leverages the checkout of tickets sales to upsell attendees into a membership with automated discounts, advance access, or members-only benefits.
