Description
- An engrossing story of audacious entrepreneurship' -- Charles Duhigg
- fast paced, fun dive into one of the seminal firms of our time' -- Rana Foroohar
- In 2008, two broke art school graduates and their coder-whiz friend set up a platform that - in less than a decade
- became one of the largest provider of accommodations in the world. Now valued at $31 billion, Airbnb is in the very top tier of Silicon Valley's 'unicorn' startups.
- Yet the company has not been without controversy - disrupting a $500 billion hotel industry makes you a few enemies.
- This is also a story of regulators who want to shut it down, hotel industry leaders who want it to disappear and neighborhoods that struggle with private homes open for public rental.
- But beyond the headlines and the horror stories, Airbnb has changed the terms of travel for a whole generation
- where a sense of belonging has built trust between hosts and guests seeking a more original travel experience that hotels have struggled to replicate .
- This is the first, definitive book to tell the remarkable story behind Airbnb in all its forms
- cultural zeitgeist, hotel disruptor, enemy to regulators - and the first in-depth character study of its leader Brian Chesky, the company's curious co-founder and CEO.
- It reveals what got Airbnb where it is today, why they are nothing like Uber, and where they are going next.
