In less than a decade, Airbnb has become the largest provider of accommodation in the world. Now valued at $30 billion, it is one of the hottest ‘unicorn’ startups in Silicon Valley. In this first definitive book on Airbnb, writer Leigh Gallagher tells its remarkable story in all its forms– cultural zeitgeist, tech disruptor, enemy to regulators– and provides the first in-depth character study of its leader Brian Chesky, the company’s curious co-founder and CEO. This is the story of a small idea that became the next big thing, explaining why Airbnb is more transformative than Uber, and reveals the bold and ambitious plans for where they go next on their incredible journey. This book is about how to disrupt an industry, make billions of dollars and plenty of enemies.
