Their tens of millions of dollars in revenue?
- cpeterso 15y agoShouldn't they deposit that money in a bank?
- staunch 15y agoAnd have their employees work out of Starbucks?
- brianchesky 15y agoWe originally wanted to work in our apartment forever. We figured we could fit 100 people in 5 apartment units in our building. Assuming we would need to scale beyond that, Joe and I talked about renting every home on the street. Imagine product in one house, marketing in another... Wasn't really feasible though.
- sandieman 15y agoThat would have been epic. Zoning code issues or hard finding a block of housing to buy with owners willing to sell?
- staunch 15y agoWhy, oh why, did this beautiful dream die?
- brianchesky 15y agoI know. Train has left. Inspiration for a new startup perhaps?
- lyime 15y agoThat sounds amazing an scary at the same time. Wonder if you could try it out for a new product team, that's fairly isolated from rest of the company. A startup within AirBnb?
- toomuchtodo 15y ago"airbnb skunkworks? Yeah, they're three houses down"
- larrys 15y ago"Wasn't really feasible though" Zoning as only one issue. You most definitely can't run a business in a residential apartment, condo, coop or neighborhood. In some neighborhoods you might slide by depending on the makeup and the neighbors.
