About Airbnb

Airbnb, Inc. is an American vacation rental online marketplace company based in San Francisco, California. Airbnb maintains and hosts a marketplace, accessible to consumers on its website or via an app. Through the service, users can arrange lodging, primarily homestays, and tourism experiences or list their properties for rental. Airbnb does not own any of the listed properties; instead, it profits by receiving commission from each booking. The company was founded in 2008 by Brian Chesky, Nathan Blecharczyk and Joe Gebbia. Airbnb is a shortened version of its original name, AirBedandBreakfast.com. The company has attracted criticism for increasing rent prices in cities where it operates, and creating nuisances for those living near leased properties. In response, the company has attracted regulatory attention from cities such as San Francisco and New York City, and the European Union. It has also faced challenges from the hotel industry and other, similar companies. On August 19, 2020, Airbnb announced that it had filed for an initial public offering. On December 10, 2020, the company went public with a valuation of over $100 billion. Shortly after moving to San Francisco in October 2007, roommates and former schoolmates Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia came up with the idea of putting an air mattress in their living room and turning it into a bed and breakfast.[unreliable source?] In February 2008, Nathan Blecharczyk, Chesky's former roommate, joined as the Chief Technology Officer and the third co-founder of the new venture, which they named AirBed & Breakfast.[unreliable source?] They put together a website that offered short-term living quarters and breakfast for those who were unable to book a hotel in the saturated market.[unreliable source?] The site Airbedandbreakfast.com officially launched on August 11, 2008. The founders had their first customers in town in the summer of 2008, during the Industrial Design Conference held by Industrial Designers Society of America, where travelers had a hard time finding lodging in the city.
