Airbnb Aims For Up To $35 Billion Valuation In Long-awaited IPO

Airbnb Inc is aiming for a valuation of nearly $35 billion in what will be the last blockbuster U.S. IPO of the year.

Founders Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia and Nathan Blecharczyk will together sell nearly $100 million worth of shares in the company’s Wall Street launch, 13 years after they founded a website in a loft that went on to revolutionize the hotel and holiday home industry.
