Let's not be revisionist. The original Airbnb concept was actual air beds and hosts that would actually make breakfast. That was the business. That is what the VCs passed on because it's kinda crazy. VCs can't pre-detect when founders will be willing to sacrifice their original cute, but untenable, ideas and move to where demand actually sits. This whole massive illegal sublet renting thing isn't what those VCs passed on. Those VCs passed on literal air mattresses on floors. Sidenote: it looks like the mark is now officially "Airbnb", but their logo says "airbnb", even though it was originally AirBnB? No company with multiple capital letters is ever presented correctly.
