How would you say Airbnb uses tech?

Technology is really at the heart of everything we do. When you think about what our product is, our product is something in the physical world. When people come to Airbnb, they book on Airbnb to go stay somewhere – physical, right?

But that means that the stakes are pretty high on us being able to match the right person with the right experience that they’re going to have out there in the world; be it a place that they’re going to stay, or one of the new trips that we’ve just launched.
