The Host Co.

The Host Co. makes Airbnb’s shoppable. Guests can now walk into a rental and buy anything from the snacks in the fridge to the art on the walls. Plus, we connect guests to services like alcohol delivery, in-home massage, and locally curated gifts. Travelers are delighted with the new hotel-like amenities of their stay, and hosts make more money from every booking.
