As a result, we intend to continue to spend significant resources maintaining, developing, and enhancing our technologies and platform.”

  • In its prospectus, the company put an emphasis on building a community around its hosts and guests, positioning that community as a differentiating factor from its competitors.
  • The company said it would set up 9.2 million shares of non-voting stock aside in an endowment fund for hosts.
  • Airbnb via its detailed prospectus revealed it made $219 million in net income on revenues of $1.34 billion last quarter. That was unsurprisingly lower than $1.65 billion in revenue a year prior.
  • Airbnb plans to trade under the symbol “ABNB” on the Nasdaq.
