Junglebee
👤 Michael Rouveure (Grew up in his family's St. Maarten catamaran-tour business, then made island operators co-invest in building the software.)🌐 site𝕏LinkedIn
Global tour apps ignored the Caribbean's payment problem. A St. Maarten catamaran kid built the rails others skipped.
Will it work? · our read
Own the rails. Booking software is a commodity - FareHarbor gives it away too. Junglebee's real asset is being the only easy way to get paid on a Caribbean island, plus a decade of local trust.

Revenue is EST, not disclosed. TrustMRR shows Stripe-verified figures of $19.5M all-time and about $506K in the last 30 days - but on a 4-7% booking-fee model these are bookings processed (GMV), not Junglebee's revenue. Their net take is about 4%, so revenue is roughly $240K/yr run-rate [our read]. First-party facts: the 4% (Stripe) / 7% JB Pay pricing, $0 monthly, JB Pay's existence, 4,800+ operators, the founder's St. Maarten background, 2016 founding, and Calm Company Fund's investment. No drama fabricated - the win is insider access plus solving a regional payment gap, not one dramatic move. The reported 'Stripe invested a small amount' detail is secondhand and treated as unconfirmed. We never score you.
