YC saw them nearly two years after. They started in Oct 2007 and got funded by YC in 2009...

The statements:

> Airbnb didn't even have a demo, they got funding basically on just an idea.

and

> YC saw them nearly two years after. They started in Oct 2007 and got funded by YC in 2009

These statements are in conflict with each other.

All the info about them that one can find shows that they had something working with some paying customers prior to getting funding from outside sources.
