Airbnb in talks to raise funding at a $10 billion valuation (wsj.com)

$10 billion valuation for a company based on asking people to blatantly break legal agreements or the local law. I bet a huge part of that raise is for lobbying and legal. Im not saying AirBnB shouldn't have better legal standing BTW, but they are operating in a huge grey area.


Most truly revolutionary companies have some "gray areas." The hard part is navigating them smartly and coming up with a clean solution.
