Somewhat of a meta point - but it seems like AirBnB the go-to example that PG uses in his essays (even if he mentions others - like Boom in this case).

AirBnB is of course a total homerun, but surely there are other companies like Stripe, Cruise, DoorDash, Dropbox, Gitlab etc... that have equivalently good reference points for how founders should think. I'm curious if there is something that sets the ABNB folks that much apart in that sense.



Could be because they're about to IPO. Though same is true of DoorDash, and GitLab probably not too far behind.
