If AirBnB has to "pay" to defend market share, then this would be an example scenario of competitive pressure reducing margins.
Again, I think AirBnB is an amazing company and agree with all your points. Just curious what the competitive landscape will look like in one or two years.
- DanielCole 14y agoGreat points. I think Airbnb competition will emerge beyond the international copycats (Wimdu). Their biggest risk is other small startups picking apart niche markets within he greater accommodations vertical. Others have thrived like crashpadder (acquired by airbnb) or Onefinestay. I think in two years you will see more Airbnb's in the accommodations marketplace competing on price and experience. The market has room for Marriott, and super8.
