"En 2008, trois jeunes pleins d'idées mais sans argent lancent un concept qui va devenir un véritable phénomène sociétal : Airbnb.Comment ont-ils réussi à bâtir en moins de 10 ans le plus grand site d'hébergement au monde ? Comment la plateforme s'est-elle hissée au rang de géant de la Silicon Valley, détrônant tous ses concurrents ? À la fois interview et récit initiatique, l'ouvrage de Leigh Gallagher plonge de manière inédite dans l'intimité du PDG d'Airbnb, Brian Chesky, et suit la trajectoire de la start-up, de l'idée bancale au succès d'une stratégie bien ficelée et d'un produit techniquement inégalable, en passant par les échecs, les doutes et les ruses pour gagner du terrain et s'imposer.Il explore aussi les zones d'ombre et les controverses soulevées par la start-up et questionne l'ambition du géant et le virage vers de nouveaux marchés. Une aventure entrepreneuriale hors du commun, où l'on découvre que la réussite tient à l'instinct mais surtout à l'insouciance et la ténacité des entrepreneurs portés par les valeurs d'une nouvelle génération idéaliste, avide de rencontres et d'expériences uniques."
