Failure Shouldn’t Stop You: 8 Successful Entrepreneurs Who
Experienced Failure First
Brian Chesky grew up in New York loving art, design, hockey, and
bodybuilding. He received his degree in industrial design and moved to
Los Angeles with future co-founder of Airbnb, Joe Gebbia. The two best
friends were low on money, racking up debt, and unable to make their
rent payment, so they had the crazy idea to rent out space in their
apartment. They decided to go a step further and teamed up with Nathan
Blecharczyk, another future co-founder of Airbnb, and went hunting for
investors. After emailing 7 major investment companies in 2008, 2 never
replied and 5 responded declining any involvement.
About a year later, the investment company Y Combinator took a leap of
faith and provided Chesky with a much-needed loan. Airbnb started out
by targeting locations that held big conventions because hotels nearby
would quickly sell out of rooms. People were ecstatic to have alternative
places to stay that were still conveniently nearby. Airbnb has reached over
34,000 cities and has had more than 60 million guests since they opened
for business in 2008.
Approximate Net Worth of Airbnb: $31 Billion
“Never assume you can’t do something. Push yourself to redefine the
