Leigh Gallagher is an assistant managing editor at Fortune and author of The Airbnb Story: How Three Ordinary Guys Disrupted an Industry, Made Billions… and Created Plenty of Controversy (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, February 2017), the first book solely dedicated to the origins, growth and impact of the Silicon Valley hospitality startup. Her first book, The End of the Suburbs: Where the American Dream is Moving (Portfolio, 2013) has been described as “prophetic,” “a first-rate social history” and “a steel fist in a velvet glove.” Leigh is a co-chair of the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit, the host of Fortune Live, and a frequent speaker and on-air commentator, appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, CBS This Morning, CNBC, CNN, and public radio’s Marketplace. Originally from Media, PA, she lives in New York Cit
'An engrossing story of audacious entrepreneurism' -- Charles Duhigg
'Captures the remarkable journey of Airbnb exceedingly well' -- Reid Hoffman

In 2008, two broke art school graduates and their coder-whiz friend set up a platform that – in less than a decade – became one of the largest provider of accommodations in the world. Now valued at $31 billion, Airbnb is in the very top tier of Silicon Valley’s ‘unicorn’ startups.
Yet the company has not been without controversy – disrupting a $500 billion hotel industry makes you a few enemies. This is also a story of regulators who want to shut it down, hotel industry leaders who want it to disappear and neighbourhoods that struggle with private homes open for public rental. But beyond the headlines and the horror stories, Airbnb has changed the terms of travel for a whole generation – where a sense of belonging has built trust between hosts and guests seeking a more original travel experience that hotels have struggled to replicate.
This is the first, definitive book to tell the remarkable story behind Airbnb in all its forms – cultural zeitgeist, hotel disruptor, enemy to regulators – and the first in-depth character study of its leader Brian Chesky, the company’s curious co-founder and CEO. It reveals what got Airbnb where it is today, why they are nothing like Uber, and where they are going next.
