The Airbnb Concept Was Born Because Of a Rent Check
“In October 2007, Chesky and Joe Gebbia, two unemployed RISD graduates, were broke and staring at their rent due date. So they came up with the idea to pull some of Gebbia’s air mattresses out of the closet and sell sleeping space in their apartment to attendees of a sold-out design trade show. They called it the Air Bed and Breakfast. (The ‘continental breakfast’ consisted of untoasted Pop-Tarts.)”
