Meet the Homeless Entrepreneur
(Inc) — Founder goes homeless for the year. No, he’s not broke – he just has a knack for self-promotion. “I am either a homeless entrepreneur, or a guy with 650 homes in San Francisco,” writes Brian Chesky, the founder of Airbnb, a website that lets people rent out spare bedrooms to travelers. Chesky started the company in 2007 because he wanted to rent space on his apartment to make some extra cash. Three years later, that apartment has been taken over by his company’s 17 employees. But rather than find a new place, Chesky decided to hit the road, bouncing from rented bedroom to rented bedroom and blogging about it. TechCrunch is duly impressed. “It’s a brilliant idea,” writes Robin Wauters. “Not only will Chesky get to experience the Airbnb product…he’ll also get to personally know a bunch of people that make up the community driving the company forward.” (Via Hacker News.)
