What Seven Years at Airbnb Taught Me About Building a Business

Create strong culture, stay laser-focused on problems, and set wildly ambitious goals

In 2012, shortly after Airbnb acquired our startup, I overheard co-founder Joe Gebbia giving guidance to a designer tasked with redesigning the homepage. He said, "Build something the internet has never seen before." I vividly remember thinking, What does that even mean? And is this the bar for everything around here? Looking back, I've come to recognize that this mindset has been one of the key ingredients in Airbnb's historic growth.

I first joined Airbnb as an engineer, then became one of the first members of the budding PM team. Back then, there were a couple dozen engineers, a few designers, and two very cute dogs.

Since leaving a few weeks ago, I've been jotting down my biggest lessons from these experiences. I've realized I should share these lessons with anyone else working to build a company. I can't promise they will all apply to your situation, but they have been core to Airbnb’s success.
