How did the stockholders agreed to finance the Pilgrims voyage?

The stockholders, primarily members of the Merchant Adventurers, agreed to finance the Pilgrims' voyage by pooling their resources to cover the costs of the expedition, including the purchase of the Mayflower and supplies for the journey. In return for their investment, the stockholders sought a share of the profits from any goods or resources the Pilgrims could produce in the New World. This financial arrangement was crucial in enabling the Pilgrims to undertake their journey to America in 1620.
