MOST INNOVATIVE COMPANIES 2017
17.Airbnb
Airbnb is an American home rental platform
based in San Francisco that lets people list, find, and rent short-term lodging
in 65,000 cities and more than 191 countries across the globe. Founded in 2008
by Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia, and Nathan Blecharczyk, it has done more than any
other company to change the way people find places to stay away from home. And
while the company has had to tread thin legal ice in some markets, it isn't
letting pushback from cities like New York and San Francisco stop its growth.
Now valued at $30 billion, the company is on to its next phase of development,
which focuses on helping travelers explore the world outside their
rentals. In 2016, Airbnb launched Experiences, a service that lures
travelers out of their rentals for local tours and adventures.
