Airbnb: Disrupting Travel with a Peer-to-Peer Marketplace

---

Airbnb’s original pitch deck outlines the challenges of expensive, impersonal hotels and the lack of accessible home-rental options for travellers. Their solution—a web platform connecting travellers with local hosts—offers a more affordable, authentic, and immersive experience while enabling hosts to monetise their spare space.

The deck presents market validation data, demonstrating demand for this model, and introduces Airbnb’s commission-based business model, ensuring revenue generation with each booking. Competitive advantages include ease of use, scalability, and a first-mover advantage, positioning Airbnb as a pioneer in the space.

Additionally, the pitch includes market size projections and revenue forecasts, illustrating Airbnb’s potential for exponential growth. The presentation concludes with a call to action, inviting investors to explore a downloadable PowerPoint version of the deck.

I'd say they were incredibly successful, wouldn't you?  I wonder how the company will weather the storm with local authorities raising the council tax on second homes in the UK?  I doubt they'll experience much change, honestly.  Property and travel are as hot as ever.
