Airbnb
Book accommodations around the world.
Founded in August of 2008 and based in San Francisco, California, Airbnb is a trusted community marketplace for people to list, discover, and book unique accommodations around the world — online or from a mobile phone. Whether an apartment for a night, a castle for a week, or a villa for a month, Airbnb connects people to unique travel experiences, at any price point, in more than 33,000 cities and 192 countries. And with world-class customer service and a growing community of users, Airbnb is the easiest way for people to monetize their extra space and showcase it to an audience of millions. No global movement springs from individuals. It takes an entire team united behind something big. Together, we work hard, we laugh a lot, we brainstorm nonstop, we use hundreds of Post-Its a week, and we give the best high-fives in town. Headquartered in San Francisco, we have satellite offices in Dublin, London, Barcelona, Paris, Milan, Copenhagen, Berlin, Moscow, São Paolo, Sydney, and Singapore.

Ancana
Marketplace for vacation home co-ownership, fully managed
Ancana is a marketplace for fully managed, co-owned vacation homes. Owners buy a real share of a property alongside a small group of vetted co-owners, each with guaranteed usage time every year. Unused weeks can be rented out or swapped for stays at other Ancana properties, so the ownership stays useful even as plans change. Ancana handles everything behind the purchase — setting up the ownership structure, vetting and matching co-owners, and managing the transaction — then runs the property year-round, from furnishing to bookings and maintenance. We operate in Mexico, the US, and Spain, each with different legal and regulatory requirements for ownership, and solving that structuring problem market by market is what makes the model hold up as we expand.
