I really wonder why he posted anonymously as 'tempaccount987'? Was he still working at Airbnb then? It seems like a blunder, him not being open and transparent when he was so desperate to find a co-founder quickly and needed to establish trust. But perhaps it even helped by filtering out all those smart and cautious guys sniping at him in the comments? As one of the comments mentioned, it wasn't hard to discover his real name anyway That post is an amazing example to show anyone who believes good opportunities are always controlled by gatekeepers and limited to people with the right connections
