Airbnb is going public. Read about how the founders went from idea to IPO in the Public app.

Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia come up with the initial concept for AirBed & Breakfast during the Industrial Design Conference. With attendees unable to book hotel rooms, the duo dreamed up a website for booking short-term living quarters paired with free breakfast and business networking opportunities.

Chesky and Gebbia find a third co-founder in architect Nathan Blecharcyzk.

First iteration of the site launches – and it's a mouthful: airbedandbreakfast.com.

The trio finds themselves owing $20K but still pre-revenue, and so they come up with a creative solution ahead of the 2008 Presidential Election: selling novelty cereal boxes in the form of Obama O's and Cap'n McCains. They raise $30K in a matter of days.

The stunt helps them gain attention from new investors. Airbnb is accepted into Y Combinator's 2009 batch, with one investor saying that while he didn't believe in the core business, he did see something in the founders' creative problem-solving.

Website name shortened to Airbnb, and the list of available inventory expands from aero-beds to a range of lodging options spanning from apartments to castles and everything in between.

Airbnb raises $112 million, led by Andreessen Horowitz.

Already in London, Airbnb builds on its global footprint with offices in Paris, Milan, Copenhagen, and São Paulo, Brazil.

Airbnb reaches 10 millionth booking milestone.

Airbnb refreshes its logo with mixed reviews.

A new $475 million investment round values Airbnb at $10 billion.

New legislation is passed in San Francisco that makes short-term rentals legal. It's quickly known as the "Airbnb Law."

Airbnb raises another $1.5 billion, with total funding now north of $2 billion and a valuation of about $25 billion.

Airbnb launches "Experiences," which allows people to book local activities and tours.

In response to an Executive Order temporarily banning refugees from the U.S., Chesky offers Airbnb housing to refugees and others impacted.

Company announces Airbnb Plus and Beyond by Airbnb to expand its high-quality and luxury vacation rentals.

Airbnb acquires Danish startup Gaest, which provides a platform for booking venues for meetings and other large-scale events.

Airbnb buys HotelTonight for more than $400 million. HotelTonight is a service for booking last-minute hotel rooms at a discounted rate.

Airbnb files S1 and prepares for its debut in the public markets.

Holiday goers planning a trip to the historic centre of Florence, Italy, may need to look for accommodation a bit further out.
