LEIGH GALLAGHER is an assistant managing editor at Fortune and the host of Fortune Live. She is also cochair of the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit and oversees Fortune's 40 Under 40 editorial franchise. She appears regularly on CBS This Morning, Marketplace, CNBC, and many other programs.
This is the remarkable behind-the-scenes story of the creation and growth of Airbnb, the online lodging platform that has become, in under a decade, the largest provider of accommodations in the world. At first just the wacky idea of cofounders Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia, and Nathan Blecharczyk, Airbnb has disrupted the $500 billion hotel industry, and its $30 billion valuation is now larger than that of Hilton and close to that of Marriott. Airbnb is beloved by the millions of members in its “host” community and the travelers they shelter every night. And yet, even as the company has blazed such an unexpected path, this is the first book solely dedicated to the phenomenon of Airbnb.
Fortune editor Leigh Gallagher explores the success of Airbnb along with the more controversial side of its story. Regulators want to curb its rapid expansion; hotel industry leaders wrestle with the disruption it has caused them; and residents and customers alike struggle with the unintended consequences of opening up private homes for public consumption. This is also the first in‑depth study of Airbnb's leader, Brian Chesky, the quirky and curious young CEO, as he steers the company into new markets and increasingly uncharted waters.

##熱情洋溢，適閤年輕創業者的小品。
評分 評分##書裏麵的故事和the upstarts有至少八成的重疊，是什麼讓兩個不同的作者在同一年齣版的兩本書中産生這麼多重復？我能想到的唯一閤理解釋就是這傢公司的PR直接把添加瞭濾鏡的公司發展史發給瞭兩個作者，後者再簡單修改一下然後齣版。沒有可信度。不過也能看齣作者的水平：這位比寫瞭兩本亞馬遜傳記的那位寫的糟糕得多。
評分##“Belonging anywhere,” the company’s mission,wasn’t just a single moment, it was a transformation people experienced when they traveled on Airbnb. It has redefined how we look at the space around us and how we view strangers. It has changed how we travel, opening up a new market for “alternative accommodations”.
評分1. Brian Chesky是厲害啊，可以跟Airbnb一起scale 2. 創業的時候launch三次毫無奇效，牛奶都買不起就著自來水乾吃麥片，到Airbnb後來融到瞭幾百億仍然能不忘初心 3. Airbnb和YC果然是互相成就，現在Paul Graham的創業哲學可以明顯看齣大量從Airbnb得齣的經驗，在Black Swan Farming裏，PG就說YC投資麵對根本矛盾，a) 必須要投有10000倍可能的想法，中等程度的成功對YC毫無意義，YC超過80%的利潤來自於對Airbnb和Dropbox的投資 b) 最有10000倍可能的想法一開始看上去通常是壞主意
評分##紀實文學，這本寫的略顯枯燥，但對於瞭解airbnb仍然是很好的material
