Founder & hacker houses
A roof, a roster, and people who show up for each other — the pool formalizes what the house already does.

What you see as an operator
- Members enrolled and active
- Contributions and funding status
- Claims — counts, never contents
Members travel.
Life happens.
Rushed emergency fundraisers
When something happens, scattered group-chat appeals and crowdsourced advice become the default — unpredictable, stressful, and unequal.
Members far from home
Travelling between regions means unfamiliar costs, claim procedures, and language barriers — exactly when a member feels most alone.
Operational burden on leaders
Community organisers are builders, not claims adjusters. Vetting documents and routing care quietly drains time from growing the group.
Why it matters
Protection works better
when it starts with belonging.
- Deepen collective trustMembers know they aren't only networking — the group has their back.
- Strengthen belongingProtection becomes another reason the community matters.
- Replace panic with a planOne clear, guided path — ready before anything goes wrong.
Trust nodes carry the load
A pool runs on people, not a dashboard. Trust nodes are the real roles that connect the pool to everyday life — so leaders stay focused on the community, not the paperwork.
Trust nodes
- 01Community operatorConfirms group context, member standing, and how to escalate when care is needed.
- 02Local coordinatorHelps members find the right next step when care is local or urgent.
- 03Care partnerGuides care routing and documentation, without turning the community into a clinic.
- 04Claims reviewerReviews the submitted context and documents against the pool's rules before an outcome.
From joining to care, one path.
One clear sequence — how a member joins through your group, and how support reaches them when they need it.
Step 01
Join through the group
Members connect through a private community invite or link — no cold sign-up.
Step 02
See the real offer
Eligibility is verified, then the pool's contribution, limits, and rules are shown up front.
Step 03
Ask for care
When something happens, a member taps for guidance and is routed to the right care.
Step 04
Nakama supports the claim
We review against the pool's rules and support eligible claims — leaders stay out of the paperwork.

Operator questions
What community leaders ask first.
Contributions sit in the pool's own reserves on transparent infrastructure — operators see the funding status at all times, and payouts follow the rules written into the pool. No one's personal account, no black box.
Limits and funding status are visible long before it ever gets there. Payouts follow the written pool rules and available reserves — the pool never silently promises more than it holds.
Pools are shaped to the community — from a house of twelve to a network of thousands. Talk to us about your group's shape and we'll configure terms that fit.
Operators configure the pool and confirm membership — that's it. Nakama handles care guidance, claims review, and support. Organisers never act as adjusters and never hold member health data.
We onboard founding communities personally — one conversation starts it. Once your terms are set, members join through the roster you already have, in minutes.
