> The company reported a loss before certain costs such as stock compensation of 16 cents per share, with revenue coming to $139.4 million in the quarter, growing 58% from a year earlier. That resulted in a net loss of $117.6 million for the quarter.
The company behind AirFlow is AirBnB. Yes it’s “thriving”. But not based on AirFlow.
