Airbnb Spawned an Ecosystem of Startups
- blensor 8y agoA privacy focused "smoke detector" for noise. That's an awesome idea. Never heard of that before but that definitely fills a gap in the vacation rental sector. Although I prefer the other way around. Measuring the actual noise level in case of tenant complaints, which this seems to be able to do as well
- arvidkahl 8y agoIt's amazing to see that companies who solve big problems at scale also create a platform for others to solve smaller problems on the same scale. Like Uber/Lyft which spawned solutions for rider-focussed tax and insurance solutions. The same thing is happening in the EdTech sector, with MOOCs and teaching platforms creating the space for teacher tooling, student management, and workflow optimizations. It just takes those companies a while to realize the value of (and engage in) those ecosystems.
- Yuval_Halevi 8y agoInteresting. It's a great approach that creative companies with enough funds can think of. Hubspot is also doing it with Hubspot for Startups
- AznHisoka 8y agoSeems like Hubspot’s program gives tools to support startups but there is no ecosystem of startups that center around using Hubspot more effectively.. seems very different to me.
- Yuval_Halevi 8y agoI didn't get into the article. I checked it after your comment and you're right. Hubspot for startups is very different than Airbnb startups ecosystem/

- qaq 8y agoHubspot needs to expand into startup culture building consulting, it's not enough to disrupt while making world a better place they need to pass the torch of their amazing culture building expertise to the new startups.
