Formation and history

The concept of Airbnb was formed by Joe Gebbia and Brian Chesky in October 2007 after they moved to San Francisco.

It was named AirBed & Breakfast and proved to be one great place for a lookout when people were not able to afford or book a hotel in the market that is saturated.

Nathan Blecharczyk, a technical architect, joined AirBEd & Breakfast as a co-founder in 2008.

On August 2008, Airbedandbreakfast.com was launched concentrating on finding alternative staying opportunities during high profile events.

The Obama O's and Cap'n McCains breakfast cereals were produced and sold at the time of the presidential election to fund for the website. It was able to produce over thirty thousand dollars in just two months after selling over eight hundred boxes. This was used for the incubation of the company.

The site changed its name from Airbedandbreakfast.com to Airbnb.com in March 2009. By the time the site had included contents like entire homes, apartments, castles, private rooms, boats, tree houses, manors, igloos, tipis, private islands. Starting out from just air beds and shared spaces, this proved to be a great advancement for Airbnb.

It is being compared with sites like HomeAway, Flip key, WorldEscape, Craigslist, Groupon and Uproost, which all are the different variety of rental sites. In the 2011 South by Southwest conference, Airbnb won the "app" award of the year.

Airbnb saved a number of people from the brink of losing their homes due to financial hardship that came into prominence due to the economic recession by giving them a chance to rent out their properties and pay back the debts. They received over three hundred emails from people thanking for their contribution in July 2010.
