ABNB

Airbnb, Inc.

A global online marketplace where everyday people rent out their homes, apartments, and rooms to travelers, alongside experiences and other services in hundreds of countries. It got its start in 2007 when two San Francisco roommates, short on rent, blew up air mattresses in their living room and served guests breakfast — hence the original name AirBed & Breakfast, later shortened to Airbnb in 2009. That very first stay is remembered for the Pop-Tarts and orange juice served to early guests.
