I think I missed how the article’s initial premise is worked around by Wander. How is it avoiding competing with AirBnB unbundling itself (ie Luxe)? Isn’t that basically what the author says not to do? Is the only difference that Wander managed to acquire a large VC round?

The premise is that Wander is "10x better".

Whether or not that is true is of course a matter of opinion, but as I'm not in the business of spending upwards of $1k a night on accomodation, I don't think I'm the target audience and thus in no position to make that judgement.

Sure, but the article is completely devoid of content to explain how Wander is 10x better. Almost reads like an advertisement for Wander without any actual content.

My understanding from the article is that unlike AirBnB, Wander actually purchases the homes - so they can kit out every property in their portfolio to meet their specific market.
