I was curious what the 125,000/mo referred to: it's their gross sales on trip bookings, not their actual final cut. The author doesn't delve into margins (that said, not trying to downplay the accomplishment in any way).



What about the part where he says their margins are around 25%?


He says that's their target, not actual.

I don't know his sector, but in mine, for a maximally automated service, that would be very high, and leaves exposure to undercutting from similar new entrants.


They say $1.5M sales last year, so sounds like gross sales.


Oh... I thought it's what they paid you to go adventure traveling per month... :-(
