I think this might make me sound like a jerk on this site, but my main concern with NomadHouse (and the previous TheCaravanserai) is that they sound very "startuppy". Is the goal to get VC funding and spin them off into multi-million dollar businesses? I fear this might infuse them with a particular kind of Silicon Valley culture that many of us would in fact like to get away from. There's also my fear that this strategy will make it more about the business, not the people. At least with Airbnb, the hosts still retain all the control; Airbnb only functions as a distant rental agency and insurance provider. With the startup model, will these communities be able to make their own decisions?

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not into investors and I would like to keep this startup on the track to get more and more houses around the world.

  That's good to hear! I'm very much looking forward to what you'll have in stock for London and Berlin.
