" We have seen things in the twentieth century like the ATM machine, the VCR, and even the car. The electric car was invented in 1920, and here we, 100 years later, it is only now becoming an actual thing. So it doesn’t surprise me that new ideas are met with a lot of questions. " - Joe Gebbia

" We started Airbnb because, like many across the U.S. and in New York, we were struggling to pay our rent and decided to open up our living room to fellow artists coming to town for a design conference. Sharing our apartment allowed us to stay in our home and start our company. " - Joe Gebbia

" Staying at Airbnb listings gives me the opportunity to truly understand and experience the local culture of the countries I visit. " - Joe Gebbia

" Technology moves so quickly; you can’t get comfortable with the business you have today because technology will progress. " - Joe Gebbia
