I don’t know. In the absence of specific details, I try to be generous in my assessment of founders.

I imagine that it could have pivoted in many directions. That’s really the tragedy of AirBnb. It seems like a platform that could have been more.

I am not asking about the founders. I agree we should be generous when considering their experience. I am asking about the investors. They put money in at some estimation of total addressable market.
