Hospitable
👤 Pierre-Camille Hamana (A Brussels host and coder who automated his own Airbnb messages, then kept it founder-owned - no VC, funded by users.)🌐 site𝕏LinkedIn
Pierre-Camille Hamana got sick of retyping Airbnb messages, so he automated them - now 18,000 hosts run on it.
Will it work? · our read
Quietly compounding. But the whole business depends on Airbnb's API and goodwill. If the platform tightens access or ships native automation, a $22M run-rate is suddenly at risk.

Revenue ($22M) is Hospitable's own self-disclosed annual run-rate, announced with its Sept 2025 community-funding round and corroborated across trade press (The Host Report, ShortTermRentalz, PhocusWire) - first-party but not audited, so labeled STATED, not FILED. The $4.6B figure is guest payouts to hosts (GMV), explicitly NOT Hospitable's revenue. Founded 2015 as Smartbnb in Belgium, rebranded Hospitable in 2021. No drama invented: the platform-dependency 'dies' is documented by the founder's own public warnings about STR tech going 'pay-to-play.' Rival funding (Guesty $409M, Hostaway $543M) and Hospitable pricing come from public reporting and the live pricing page. Any interpretation is tagged [our read]. We never score you.
