·Marigot, Saint-Martin
What your contribution brings.
This campaign pays for people: the team that finishes Caribbein and carries it island by island. Here is what each euro does, rung by rung.
€15,000 is not what the project costs. It is the threshold below which it doesn’t happen. Everything above it builds the team.
Leg 1 of 5What backing means
You fund the team. Nothing gets locked behind it.
- Your pledge pays salaries, a base on Saint-Martin and the running costs of the build, in the order of the climb below.
- It buys no access. The app and every business tool stay free for everyone, backer or not.
- What you get are rewards: your name on the Founders Wall, objects made on the island, offers from its businesses, and a founding vote.
20% of every commission, from day one, funds local projects islanders vote on.
Why it matters: the data. The dates ahead: updates. Who builds it: about us.
Leg 2 of 5The climb
Here is exactly what each step builds.
A €15,000 floor, all-or-nothing, then five more rungs. Each one: what it funds, who it pays, what changes for you, how long it lasts.
Leg 3 of 5The rewards
No reward is access. Everything stays free.
The rewards are recognition, objects, experiences, and offers from the island’s own businesses.
Every tier includes
A numbered Day Zero badge in the app · your name on the Founders Wall · the digital pack (island map wallpapers and a Founding Voter badge) · a numbered certificate · campaign updates · one raffle entry for L’Introuvable.

Tier prices exclude shipping, added at checkout by zone. Local merch is printed on-island and collected by hand. Tiers that put an object in a box are capped, so the campaign never promises more parcels than it can deliver.
Leg 4 of 5Where the money goes
Every euro has a job. Most of the jobs are people.
At the summit, this is where €240,000 goes. Each rung below it buys the same things, earlier and smaller.

Fees, in the open: Ulule keeps 8% of what is collected, and backers pay a €0.10 + 2.2% service fee on top at checkout. A campaign about fees should show its own.
Leg 5 of 5In plain terms
Help the islands keep what they earn.
I will post every rung we reach, and anything that slips. Steven Calder, founder · Saint-Martin
One euro. Three friends. One Caribbean.
- All-or-nothing. If the €15,000 floor is not reached, nobody is charged.
- Where the product stands. The public beta opens on 28 September 2026 and runs for one month; the official launch is 1 November 2026. Nobody has used it yet, so we will adjust along the way.
- The Island Pass. Each offer is issued and honoured by the partner business, one per backer per partner, with no cash value.
This is reward-based crowdfunding, not an investment. Your pledge grants the rewards listed, not shares and not any financial return.
