Ăkonomi & Business
The story of Evan Spiegel and Brian Chesky begins in different environments, but both demonstrated an entrepreneurial spirit from an early age. Spiegel, born into a wealthy Los Angeles family, studied at the prestigious Stanford University, where he began developing Snapchat. Chesky, on the other hand, grew up in a middle-class family in New York and studied at the Rhode Island School of Design. From a young age, both had a common trait: a clear and innovative vision of what could be done to improve the world around them.
Airbnb's founding has its roots in 2007, when Chesky and his roommate, Joe Gebbia , struggled to pay their rent in San Francisco. They turned the crisis into an opportunity, renting inflatable mattresses in their apartment during a conference that filled the city's hotels. They called the service "Air Bed & Breakfast". Soon, Nathan Blecharczyk, a programmer and colleague of Chesky, joined the duo, and together they turned the idea into a startup.
Airbnb quickly stood out by offering an alternative to traditional hotels. The platform allowed anyone with extra space to make money by renting it out. This concept not only challenged established hotel chains but also revolutionized the way people traveled. Instead of staying in standard hotels, travelers could now stay in unique homes, experiencing local cultures in a more authentic way.
Airbnb's success was not just due to its originality, but to its business model. Focusing on the sharing economy, the company created a system where everyone won: hosts had a new source of income, guests saved money and the company earned commissions on transactions. The platform also offered a series of tools to help hosts manage their properties, from security screening to customer support.
