Up next Designer, cofounder @Airbnb @jgebbia at #TED2016. Joe helped redesign the way the world travels and people connect
— Sukhi Ghuman (@SukhiGhuman) February 16, 2016
As a designer, entrepreneur, and the co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Airbnb, Joe helped redesign the way the world travels and people connect.
When Joe Gebbia first envisioned Airbnb in his living room in 2007, his motivation was simple -- to pay his rent. Starting as a simple room-sharing service, Joe and co-founders Brian Chesky and Nathan Blecharczyk turned Airbnb into a major disruptive force for the hospitality industry, creating a new economy for millions of people in 190 countries around the world.
Gebbia serves as a part-time design partner at Y Combinator, the prestigious startup incubator that helped launch Airbnb. He earned dual degrees in Graphic Design and Industrial Design at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where he now serves on the institution's Board of Trustees. He plays a leading role in shaping Airbnb’s future innovation, distinctive culture, and design aesthetic, and through his work, seeks to expand the richness of human connection in the world.
