Digitale Leute – Build Better Products

The Airbnb-Formula for Building Product: Do Things That Don’t Scale

FIRESIDE CHAT
Stage 1
9:35-10:00
english

Airbnb has not only disrupted the travel industry but has become a trailblazer for the sharing economy in general, inspiring hundreds of similar startups to become “the Airbnb of” their respective industries. However, while many have tried to model oneself on the Airbnb-formula, few have successfully done it. So, why not learn from the pioneer itself how to do it?

With Experiences, Airbnb is now repeating its very own recipe for success. In this fireside chat, Colleen Graneto, who’s led product development in both the Experiences business and now the Payments Platform, explains the underlying principles of product management at Airbnb. By starting with the perfect experience for one user, Colleen and her teams created a product, that extends and enriches the core use of the platform for millions of travelers around the globe in a meaningful way. Join us for this conversation and go on a whole new journey to successful product development!
