#1 The first guest to use Airbedandbreakfast. com was Amol Surve, a graduate of the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University. He arrived at his rental late in the afternoon on Tuesday, October 16, 2007. The apartment was spacious, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a comfortable living room.

#2 Brian Chesky grew up in a middle-class family in Niskayuna, a town outside of Schenectady, New York. He was doted on by his parents, who were social workers. He was also very artistic, and enjoyed visiting the Norman Rockwell Museum.

#3 Chesky and Gebbia met in classes and at student events, and found each other easy collaborators. They both gravitated toward the study of industrial design and the idea that they could make things that were as iconic and affordable as the classic Eames lounge chair.

#4 After graduating from RISD in 2004, Chesky spent a few months living at home before he decamped to Los Angeles. He had a real job as a designer for the consultant firm 3DID in Marina del Rey, but most of the projects he worked on never made it to stores or were ultimately thrown away.
