A positive mind helps in the most difficult situations. The crisis that infected the world in 2008 was a real catastrophe, but it was also a challenge, a natural selection for the most creative who knew how to take advantage of it with new ideas. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The economic depression that occurred almost eleven years ago drove new innovative business models that adapted to the social situation of the moment. A great example now that the summer holidays are approaching is AirBnb<\/a><\/strong>, in principle the name of the rental portal was called “Air bed & breakfast<\/em><\/strong>“, but soon after it was synthesized in the name we know today.<\/p>\n

AirBnb has been operating for just over seven years and is worth around 7.2 billion euros, has more than 33,000 registered accommodations in 192 countries; its history begins in San Francisco, California<\/a><\/strong>, when two of its three founders: Nathan Blecharczyk<\/strong>, Brian Chesky<\/strong> and Joe Gebbia<\/strong>; found it difficult to pay rent; near their home was going to start a design conference that would attract many people interested in affordable accommodation and good location.<\/p>\n
