- Starting today, Airbnb will begin housing 20,000 Afghan refugees globally for free.
- Today, we’re announcing that Airbnb employees can live and work anywhere. Our design for working at Airbnb has 5 key features:
- 1. Airbnb and Airbnb.org are working with our Hosts to house up to 100,000 refugees fleeing from Ukraine, for free
- Airbnb Hosts have earned $150 billion since we started. It began when my roommate Joe and I couldn't pay our rent. We inflated 3 air mattresses and created an Airbed & Breakfast. Sometimes when you solve your own problem, you're onto something bigger...
- Airbnb is suspending all operations in Russia and Belarus
- Today, we’re introducing the biggest change to Airbnb in a decade
00:00 - Airbnb just reached 2 billion guests. It took 14 years to get to our first billion and only 3 more years to reach the second. Thank you to everyone for giving us a chance.
- Our Q1 results are in: 102M nights booked $1.5B revenue (70% Y/Y) $(19)M net loss $229M Adjusted EBITDA $1.2B free cash flow 2 years ago, our business dropped 80%, our IPO was put on hold, and some didn’t think we’d make it at all. Here’s how we turned Airbnb around:
- 1. Starting today, I'm living on Airbnb. I’ll be staying in a different town or city every couple weeks
- We have canceled all Airbnb reservations in DC for Inauguration week. Guests will be issued a full refund and hosts will still be paid in full for these canceled bookings.
- Tomorrow we're unveiling Airbnb's next chapter
