The $99 billion idea.How Uber and Airbnb won

This is the story of Airbnb and Uber, among the fastest-growing startups in history by sales, market value, and number of employees. They’ve attained these heights, and a combined worth of $99 billion, despite owning little in the way of physical assets. Airbnb can be considered one of the biggest hotel companies in the world—currently valued at $30 billion, about the same as Marriott International—yet it possesses no actual hotel rooms. Its founders are billionaires three times over, at least on paper. Uber is among the world’s largest car services, yet it doesn’t employ professional drivers or own any vehicles (save for a small, experimental fleet of self-driving cars). Uber is valued at $69 billion, more than any other privately held tech startup in the world. Kalanick, founder of Uber and Camp , founder of Airbnb have an estimated net worth of about $6 billion each.
The strange thing is these big startups is that it is a winner all take the market and there is no space for even the second guy
