VC Fred Wilson, who passed on Airbnb, keeps a box of Obama O’s in his Union Square Ventures conference room--a reminder never to make the same billion-dollar mistake again. Gebbia’s and Chesky’s training pushes them to seek right-brained solutions to every problem. Early on, Airbnb was not getting much traction in New York. So the team

No one was booking because you couldn’t see what you were paying for.” They crafted a very untechy solution. “A web startup would say, ‘Let’s send emails, teach [users] professional photography, and test them,’ “ explains the jockish Chesky. “We said, ‘Screw that.’ “ The pair rented a $5,000 camera and snapped high-resolution photos of as many New York host apartments as they could. Bookings soared. By month’s end, revenue had doubled in the city. “Rinse and

outweighed the costs. Travelers are two and a half times more likely to book these enhanced listings, which earn their hosts an average of $1,025 per month. “Do things that don’t scale,” Chesky says, a sentiment that would be considered blasphemy at Google or Facebook. “We start with the perfect experience and then work backward. That’s how we’re going to continue to be successful.” The company immerses itself in that experience. Its

These showcase listings sell out weeks in advance and have earned their owners in total more than $170,000. Gebbia has gone one step further: He’s converted his original apartment,

“We rent it to test things,” he says. “If we have an idea, we walk over to the apartment and install whatever it is we’re doing.” He hints that he’s currently using it to push more engagement with the surrounding neighborhood, an opportunity to sell additional products to the renter. “How can we get you to interact with the local businesses?” The company recently partnered with Vayable, a startup that offers travelers guided experiences such as food or history

spaces, laboratories, and grown-up toys like boats and motorcycles. And there are also dozens of direct rip-offs popping up all over the globe. “How many knockoff Airbnb sites does the world need?” complained tech-startup doyenne Chris Shipley in a blog. Airbnb, of course, believes the answer is zero and is working to eliminate confusion between itself and its rivals.

in changing the way techies think about design. “Design used to be an afterthought,” Gebbia says. “Startups wouldn’t hire designers for months or a year after funding.” Now, startups as varied as Square (No. 5 on this list), Flipboard, and Instagram count design as crucial to their success. “You no longer have to be a hacker to start a company,” Graham says. “You can win through design rather than technology.” You might even say that design has become Silicon Valley’s breakfast of champions.
