About B. Chesky


B rian Chesky is an American technology entrepreneur who co-founded Airbnb, the online marketplace for home rentals that has fundamentally disrupted the global hospitality industry. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Chesky was working as an industrial designer in San Francisco when he and his roommate, Joe Gebbia, struggled to pay their rent. To make some extra cash, they came up with the idea of renting out air mattresses on their floor to attendees of a local design conference, and 'Airbed & Breakfast' was born.

With co-founder and technical architect Nathan Blecharczyk, they developed the concept into a global platform that allows people to list and book accommodations in millions of homes around the world. As CEO, Chesky has been the visionary leader of the company, guiding its explosive growth and navigating numerous regulatory battles and challenges, including the severe downturn during the COVID-19 pandemic. He led Airbnb through a highly successful IPO in 2020, solidifying its place as one of the most iconic and transformative companies of the modern internet era.
