▶ 4:09 Sam Chaudhary If you're building Airbnb and you want to transform hospitality, you don't start by selling software to hotels that might make hotels a little bit better, a little bit more efficient, whatever.
▶ 11:23 Sam Chaudhary I mean, like Airbnb had launched, I think in 2008, like the iPhone had come out in 2007, like Facebook was still private, you know, in 2011.

▶ 26:03 Imad Akhund Uh, uh, but I was also in the batch with Airbnb. 3 times in the scene

▶ 0:31 Brett Berson Before Linear, Kari was a founding designer at Coinbase, and a principal designer at Airbnb. 2 times in the scene
▶ 17:18 Karri Saarinen And then I was at the Airbnb when they were like already quite massive scale and, but they were still growing. 2 times in the scene
▶ 17:50 Brett Berson Do you think linear would be successful if you didn't work at Coinbase and Airbnb? 6 times in the scene
▶ 23:16 Karri Saarinen But like, interestingly enough, there was like a little precursor to this, like when I actually joined Airbnb in 2014, I think, 2015. 5 times in the scene
▶ 25:04 Brett Berson Were you at like lunch together at Airbnb and they were saying, Hey, we've been wanting to start a company. 2 times in the scene
▶ 29:11 Karri Saarinen I interviewed some BMS at their Airbnb and just went like, let's, Hey, can you have a coffee with me and talk about something? 2 times in the scene

▶ 50:48 Yuhki Yamashita So back then, that was like a Facebook and Airbnb.

▶ 17:20 unnamed speaker I think Airbnb is a really good example here. 3 times in the scene
▶ 58:03 Matt Lerner Airbnb early on famously advertised their listings on Craigslist because that's where people were looking.

▶ 41:00 Krithika Muthukumar You have marketplaces like Uber or Airbnb that are not only accepting payments, but then paying out to the supply side of their marketplace.

▶ 13:26 Casey Winters Airbnb was in a cooler part of town and cheaper than a hotel.
▶ 37:18 Casey Winters And then TAM is kind of a misleading metric for marketplaces, because in all the biggest marketplaces like Uber and Airbnb, it looked like there was no TAM.
▶ 43:54 Casey Winters So much better than what the market has enabled that they're going to remember you directly, which is what Airbnb had for a long time, right?
▶ 48:48 Casey Winters So a famous example is like Airbnb with Instant Book.
