That is all of the hundred the island gets to touch — the other €18 never left the platform’s books.
Il fut un temps où ça semblait normalThere was a time this felt normalRelier un voyageur à un bateau exigeait des tours de bureaux, des équipes entières, beaucoup d’argent. Plus maintenant.Connecting a traveller to a boat once took towers of offices, entire teams, a lot of money. Not anymore.

Rien n’est parti de l’autre côté de l’eau — la boîte d’en face est vide.All hundred euros are here: €90 with the provider, €8 with us, €2 with the Foundation.

Caribbein

What they open

Thirty islands. Open to explore.

The marketplace is in open beta — explore all of it while we prepare the launch; bookings aren’t processed yet. The app is in private beta until 1 September, opening with Saint-Martin / Sint Maarten, Anguilla and St-Barthélemy. Here’s what the two of them give you:

01

The whole Caribbean, one app

Stays, boats, tables, rides, tours and experiences — 30 islands, booked in one place.

02

Not just for visitors

Residents get community, jobs, the local market, sport and events too.

03

Money that stays on the island

A flat 10% commission, and 20% of it funds local projects islanders vote on.

Why we're building this

We're building an ecosystem to protect the islands.

There’s a word we don’t say out loud enough here — extraction. It isn’t new, and it’s still happening, quietly, every day.

≈ $59 million
leaves Saint-Martin & Sint Maarten every year
an estimated$1.95 billion
leaves the whole Caribbean, every year

— to Airbnb, Booking, Expedia, Viator and the rest — banked in Dublin and San Francisco.

A booking made on our beach pays a server bill in San Francisco. It doesn’t hire our people, fix our roads, or fund a single local project. For years, that was just how it worked. It’s 2026 — the tools exist, the talent is here, and for the first time that money can stay home.

Caribbein is the ecosystem that keeps it here. One place to book the islands — and a flat 10% commission where €2 of every €100 funds local projects islanders vote on. Every booking is money that doesn’t leave: reducing extraction now, so we can invest here — and one day, stop it.

The give-back ledger

20% of our commission funds local projects that islanders vote on. Published on every page of the product — you can watch where it goes.

Each pitch plays right here and closes when it’s done — or open the pitch page to download the decks (.pptx).

The ecosystem

A free operating system for every island business.

Booking commissions aren’t the only thing that leaves. The software that runs a business — the POS, the booking engine, the school licence — bills it every month, to a company far away. So we built a free OS for each trade, to keep that money home too.

EducationOS dashboard — timetable, classes and grades for a fictional demo school
EducationOS — the school & tutoring OS. Replaces Pronote, ClassDojo and a WhatsApp group.
SportsOS dashboard — members, sessions and league standings for a fictional demo club
SportsOS — the gym, club & league OS. Replaces Mindbody.

Two of nineteen. One for every trade on the island —

RestoOS Free
Restaurants, bars & catering
Replaces Toast

Floor plan and service board, menus, orders to the kitchen and clean bills — and your tables bookable straight from the Caribbein app.

PropertyOS Free

One calendar for every villa — bookings, cleaning turnovers and owner statements, with channel sync to the big OTAs while direct bookings stay fee-free.

YachtOS Not yet on Caribbein
Yacht charter & fleets
Replaces MMK Booking Manager

Fleet calendar, charter bookings, crew day sheets and the clearance paperwork that eats a captain’s morning.

Already running with clients today — but not yet something you can book or buy through Caribbein. It joins the lineup when it moves onto the platform.

CharterOS Free
Day charters & excursions
Replaces FareHarbor

Run sheets, prep lists, passenger manifests and engine hours — a day boat from dock to dock, weather included.

ResortOS Free
Resorts & large hotels

Front office, housekeeping, F&B, spa, recreation, grounds, security, HR and the books — fifteen departments of a resort on one system.

FleetOS Free
Taxis, transfers & buses

Drivers, dispatch and airport transfers on the official fare grid — riders book from the same app the island already uses.

TaxiOS Free
Independent taxi drivers

A whole taxi business on one phone — jobs, zones and fares, arrival times, receipts and ratings. No desk, no office, no monthly licence.

BeautyOS Free
Salons, barbers & nails

Appointments, chair schedules, deposits and no-show protection for salons, barbers and nail artists.

RetailOS Not yet on Caribbein
Shops & opticians
Replaces Ocuco

Stock, sales and a simple storefront for island shops — born in an optician’s, built for any counter.

Already running with clients today — but not yet something you can book or buy through Caribbein. It joins the lineup when it moves onto the platform.

SalesOS Free
Sales & pipelines
Replaces Pipedrive

Leads, pipelines and follow-ups for teams that sell — without the per-seat bill.

ServicesOS Free
Home & pro services
Replaces Thumbtack

Quotes, jobs and schedules for home and pro services — found by the whole island in the app.

TerraOS Free
Farms, fishers & food producers
Replaces the paper logbook

Batch traceability from the boat or the field to the plate, one-tap recall, weekly veg-box shares, food-safety checklists and the forecast that decides the day.

ProsOS Free
Professional services
Replaces HoneyBook

Clients, appointments and invoices for independent professionals.

Seventeen are open to providers now, free to use — Caribbein only earns a flat 10% when a booking comes through, and 20% of that goes straight back to the island. The two marked not yet on Caribbein are already running with clients; they join when they move onto the platform.

The beta

Want to help us upgrade our island?

We're opening with Saint-Martin / Sint Maarten, Anguilla and St-Barthélemy — and we need everyone: the people who live here, the people who visit, and the businesses that make the islands run. Join the beta: help us test it and shape what we build next.

How we handle your data

Reward-based · no equity

The product is ready. I need the team.

We’re not waiting: we’re launching now, in the open, so schools and sports clubs are ready for the first week of September — and building the rest as we go. Your support is the team that finishes the work and puts it in the island’s hands. Everything stays free, forever.

Now — Launching · proof of work September 1 — Official launch Back-to-school — schools & sports clubs ready
  1. €15,000The goal
    Help, now.
    A first developer joins — we go faster, immediately.
  2. €40,000
    The full dev team.
    Two more developers — we build hard, straight through launch.
  3. €80,000

    The whole team on deck: testing, fixing, polishing with real users before launch.
  4. €120,000

    Whatever happens: volunteer schools & sports clubs equipped and ready for the first week of September.
  5. €170,000
    A real office.
    The team settles in: a base in Saint-Martin, every desk equipped (one computer + three screens).
  6. €240,000The summit
    Six months, full throttle.
    The whole team funded for six months — long enough to reach first revenue. If it works, revenue takes over. If not, we adjust.
What every goal also unlocks
€1 pledged → €1.86 of European funding we become eligible to apply for

European programmes don’t hand out money — they match it. They require the project to bring local funding of its own first, and that’s exactly what this campaign is. So every goal below does double duty: it pays for the team, and it strengthens the European application sitting behind it.

Being eligible isn’t being funded — nothing is approved yet, and we’ll publish what happens either way. Rate shown is the confirmed one; we’ll only quote a higher one once it’s in writing.

Marketing? At the cost of talent, not budget — social + AI-made content.

Five euros. Three friends. One Caribbean.

The whole ecosystem — the everyday app and every OS — stays free for everyone, forever. You’re not buying access; you’re funding the thing that stays free.

Soon on Ulule.
