Chapter 2How the fee works
Without Pro, each investment pays 2% plus 0.25 USDC. It is added on top: if you invest 100 USDC, you pay 102.25 USDC and the 100 go to the round. The 0.25 is charged on every investment: investing 1 USDC costs 1.27 USDC. The investment page shows you the total before you sign.
With Pro, the same block shows your reduced fee: 1.5% + 0.25 USDC instead of 2% + 0.25 USDC.
The fee stays in the contract next to your investment until the round ends. If you withdraw within 4 days of investing, you get everything back, fee included. After that, or if the round fails, you get your investment back but not the fee.
Chapter 3When does Pro pay off?
On price alone, Pro pays off if you invest about 1,000 USDC a month: without Pro you would pay about 20 USDC in fees. But the main reason is another: with Pro you see the full financials, team, documents and reports before you invest. If you are going to put money in, deciding with all the information is worth more than the fee.
Chapter 4Paying and cancelling
- Pay: in Plans, “Go Pro”. Payment is secured by Stripe; Krows never sees your card.
- Currency: dollars or euros depending on your country; change it in Settings.
- Cancel: in Settings › Plan and invoices. You stay Pro until the end of the paid month and are not charged again.
- Invoices: download them in Settings › Plan and invoices.
