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.
##聽同業的故事,對工作上遇到問題,可以從新的角度看。
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##“Belonging anywhere,” the company’s mission,wasn’t just a single moment, it was a transformation people experienced when they traveled on Airbnb. It has redefined how we look at the space around us and how we view strangers. It has changed how we travel, opening up a new market for “alternative accommodations”.
評分##Airbnb is a company I want to go to, but failed to go to.
