AirBnB had almost no working technology when it launched in 2007. But they proved their idea.
The first ever guest of AirBnB tells his story. At the time the site had no contact details and Amol Surve was desperate to attend the San Francisco’s Industrial Design Conference in 2007.
He tracked down AirBnB co-founder Joe Gebbia to get the air mattress and the business was born.
Which shows a good business idea doesn’t need all their processes and technology in order to prove it works. Something that anyone with a new business idea should consider.
