Airbnb, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABNB) is a global online marketplace that connects travelers with property owners offering short-term accommodations and experiences. Founded in 2007 by Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia, and Nathan Blecharczyk in San Francisco, the company began as AirBed & Breakfast when the founders rented out air mattresses in their apartment to conference attendees. The company went public in December 2020 and has since grown to become one of the world's largest accommodation platforms, with over 8 million active listings across more than 220 countries and regions. Airbnb has fundamentally disrupted the traditional hospitality industry by enabling anyone with spare space to become a host and offer unique travel experiences to guests worldwide.
