Airbnb

I took Tanny's collar off her. So that's we don't have the same problem. Hm. Uh, that'll save us some time in post. Welcome to season seven, episode eight. The season finale.

I've acquired, the podcast about great technology companies and the stories and playbooks behind them. I'm Ben Gilbert and I'm the co founder of Pioneer Square Labs, a startup studio and venture capital firm in Seattle. And I'm David Rosenthal and I am an angel investor and startup advisor based in San Francisco. And we are your hosts. Today we cover

the hottest and most anticipated company to IPO in twenty twenty. And oddly, in a year marred by the global pandemic, and just this month, an all-time high number of stay-at-home orders. This hot IPO is a travel company. Airbnb, originally known as Air Bed and Breakfast Incorporated, is going public today, raising over three point five billion dollars and initially valued at over forty-seven billion dollars.
