Hostable

For event organizers and global communities

Pick the city your people can actually reach.

Before you sign a venue, Hostable shows how many of your community can get into each candidate city, who you would lose at the border, and why. Built on official visa statistics and real entry rules.

The problem

Global events don't have a venue problem. They have a visa problem they discover after the venue is booked. The people refused at the border never show up in the attendance numbers.

How it works

One graph, every border your community crosses.

02Entry rulevisa free, online visa, or consular visa, 199 passports
03Refusal rateat that country's own consulates, EU 2024 and US FY2024

Graph native

Whether someone can attend is a chain, not a lookup. Hostable stores entry rules, refusal rates, visa unlocks and flight routes as a FalkorDB graph and walks every nationality to every city in one traversal per city.

Honest numbers

Keeps counts only people who can be shown to get in. Lost is people needing a visa times the published refusal rate. Where no rate is published, they are unknown, never counted as kept.

An agent that shows its work

Ask in plain words. The agent answers only from graph tools, saves its recommendation to your community's decision log, and shows every query it ran.
