Principles
4 basic records of 25
Principles are our summary of their public statements.
Demonstrate grit to gain trust
FundraisingInvestors value the ability to survive and stay 'default alive' through creative scrappiness more than the initial business idea.
Solve the awkward friction points
ProductIdentifying and fixing awkward user experiences, like handling physical cash, is essential for a smooth product adoption.
Validate individual contributions during crisis
LeadershipA leader must ensure that employees leaving due to external factors understand their work was valuable and not the cause of the separation.
Supporting quotes
One of the most important ways we can honor those who are leaving is for them to know that their contributions mattered, and that they will always be part of Airbnb's story.
I am truly sorry. Please know this is not your fault. The world will never stop seeking the qualities and talents that you brought to Airbnb.
