Airbnb, Inc.
內容大綱
The case is set in early 2019; and the protagonist of the case is Brian Chesky, co-founder and CEO of Airbnb, Inc.-an online platform that offers global hospitality services. The co-founder and CEO wonders when he should take Airbnb public, and perhaps more importantly, how going public would change the community-based company. In 2019, Airbnb had 5 million listings in over 81,000 cities in 190 countries. Airbnb offers more accommodations than the three biggest hotel chains combined: Marriott, Hilton, and InterContinental. In the same year, Airbnb was valued at $31 billion, making it the third most valuable private company in the world, behind Uber ($72 billion) and Didi Chuxing, a Chinese ride-hailing service, ($56 billion). Airbnb's $31 billion valuation was just shy of that of Marriott, the world's largest hotel chain, that was valued at $37 billion (in early 2019). Airbnb's revenues to reached $4 billion (in 2018), while being profitable for the past few years.
