Why we started Cavale (and what we learned saying no)

← Back to Journal

When we started Cavale, we had a rule: if we would not book it ourselves, we would not list it. In our first month, we reviewed 52 experience proposals. We said yes to 8. That is a 15% acceptance rate. The ones we rejected were not bad. Many were good. But good is not what Cavale exists for. We exist for the experiences that change how you see a place.
