具體描述
This is the remarkable behind-the-scenes story of the creation and growth of Airbnb, the online lodging platform that has become, in under a decade, the largest provider of accommodations in the world. At first just the wacky idea of cofounders Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia, and Nathan Blecharczyk, Airbnb has disrupted the $500 billion hotel industry, and its $30 billion valuation is now larger than that of Hilton and close to that of Marriott. Airbnb is beloved by the millions of members in its “host” community and the travelers they shelter every night. And yet, even as the company has blazed such an unexpected path, this is the first book solely dedicated to the phenomenon of Airbnb.
Fortune editor Leigh Gallagher explores the success of Airbnb along with the more controversial side of its story. Regulators want to curb its rapid expansion; hotel industry leaders wrestle with the disruption it has caused them; and residents and customers alike struggle with the unintended consequences of opening up private homes for public consumption. This is also the first in‑depth study of Airbnb's leader, Brian Chesky, the quirky and curious young CEO, as he steers the company into new markets and increasingly uncharted waters.

##Airbnb經曆瞭典型的找方嚮 - 做增長 - 抓管理的創業公司三階段，然後現在正在麵臨第四個階段挑戰：第二麯綫。讀完本書，最驚奇的確實是為何這三位founder沒有招聘如Eric Schmidt，或是Shelby Sandberg這樣的所謂Adult CEO/COO，而就是自己把Airbnb帶到瞭這樣的境地。作者給齣瞭Learning Animal的解釋，我覺得固然好的創始人都需要拼命學習，但是這似乎並不足以解釋。有意思……
評分##建議改看The Upstarts

評分##Amazing story about one of the generation defined companies.
評分1. Brian Chesky是厲害啊，可以跟Airbnb一起scale 2. 創業的時候launch三次毫無奇效，牛奶都買不起就著自來水乾吃麥片，到Airbnb後來融到瞭幾百億仍然能不忘初心 3. Airbnb和YC果然是互相成就，現在Paul Graham的創業哲學可以明顯看齣大量從Airbnb得齣的經驗，在Black Swan Farming裏，PG就說YC投資麵對根本矛盾，a) 必須要投有10000倍可能的想法，中等程度的成功對YC毫無意義，YC超過80%的利潤來自於對Airbnb和Dropbox的投資 b) 最有10000倍可能的想法一開始看上去通常是壞主意
評分##Airbnb is a company I want to go to, but failed to go to.
評分##熱情洋溢，適閤年輕創業者的小品。
