Le pot commun

Launched in October 2011, Le Pot Commun is now the second-largest online money collection platform in Europe, with a new contribution to the “kitty” happening every three seconds.

Birthday, leaving kitty, housewarming party, holidays with friends, calls for donations… this online money collection platform has already simplified collections for more than 11.5 million users. Currently, the company has some thirty young, curious, and dedicated employees.

As a measure of its success and quality, Le Pot Commun has partnered with companies such as Amazon, Fnac, Décathlon, Zalando, Nature & Découverte, etc.

It’s relatively simple to use. Someone creates a shared kitty in less than five minutes. He or she then shares it with family and friends who contribute directly to the kitty online. Once the kitty is complete, the administrator can either:

• buy a gift directly from one of its partners by converting the money collected into a gift card; or
• transfer the monies collected via bank transfer.

More recently, the company has launched Le Pot Solidaire - a fundraising platform that is 100% reserved for collaborative projects of associations or individuals.
