Congrats Jonathan!

[Jonathan Golden @jpgg]

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted this job. Apple's "Think Different" posters covered every wall of my teenage bedroom. I got my first taste of venture at Greylock, I learned how to build at Airbnb as their first product manager, scaling with them as they 100x'd over every metric, and I partnered with truly exceptional founders at NEA.

At Deviation Capital, I get to build and invest. @csbeirne, Dusan, Sidney and I started @Deviationcap to find and support the founders operating at the frontier and in the fringes, harnessing data, computing, and AI to build the defining companies of our time.

We're hiring in SF –– reach out.

Trust is one of Airbnb’s earliest innovations. Thanks for the great conversation, @drusenko, and congratulations on the podcast launch!

[David Rusenko @drusenko]

@nathanblec turned a social experiment into @Airbnb: a company that would remake travel. But first, it had to survive.

In crisis after crisis they found an opportunity to build trust and make the company stronger.

Welcome Ahmad! I’m excited to build the future of travel together!

[Brian Chesky @bchesky]

.@Ahmad_Al_Dahle is joining as Airbnb's new CTO.

I’m often asked about our AI strategy. We believe pairing great design with frontier technology will help us improve the way people experience travel. Excited to build!

[Nathan Blecharczyk @nathanblec]

As a technologist and parent who started coding at 12, I've seen both the great opportunities and real challenges that technology brings to families. I've been inspired by how Common Sense Media engages with policymakers to advocate for practical online safety guardrails. As today's technology grows more immersive, I hope that my background can help to define and advocate for common sense approaches to the technology challenges faced by children and parents.

[Jim Steyer @jimsteyer]

I'm thrilled to welcome @Airbnb Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer Nathan Blecharczyk (@nathanblec ) to the @CommonSense Board of Directors! Nathan's vision and commitment to using technology as a force for good will be invaluable in our mission to make a safer digital world.

My advice for entrepreneurs? Be observant, so you’re ready when the next opportunity comes your way. I shared more with Ilana Golan on The Leap Academy Podcast. You can listen here: https://t.co/F1mU5wbE3o

[Bloomberg @business]

Airbnb is partnering with FIFA to offer limited-time, celebrity-led activities for soccer fans, taking advantage of an uptick in travel demand in cities hosting World Cup tournaments https://t.co/g1XorZPaJt

[Nathan Blecharczyk @nathanblec]

We’re redefining travel once again. Proud of the team for reaching this milestone and excited for what’s next.

[Brian Chesky @bchesky]

Now you can Airbnb more than an Airbnb

[Boom Supersonic @boomsupersonic]

Most anniversaries deserve champagne. This one deserves repeal.

52 years ago today, the U.S. banned all civilian supersonic flights over land. At the time, aerospace technology wasn’t advanced enough to understand what we know today: quiet supersonic flight isn’t just possible, it’s proven. Let’s end the ban.

[Ali Partovi @apartovi]

@Neo just raised $320M after successful seed investments in Cursor, Kalshi, Bluesky, & more.

Cool restaurant tool. There is definitely room for innovation in this space.

[Varsha Rao @varsharao]

🚨 Finding a great restaurant should be easy.

I was tired of seeing amazing restaurants trending on @Eater and @infatuation… only to have to search up each one on different platforms to try to book.

So we built a way to fix that.

Our New & Trending feature pulls:
✅ The most talked-about restaurants from top lists
✅ Live availability from Resy, OT, Tock (so you can actually book)
✅ Updated real-time
Check it out 👇

It’s time to legalize supersonic flight and Make America Boom Again 🇺🇸

You can just do things. But to do some things you have to be @POTUS

[Blake Scholl 🛫 @bscholl]

Boom! We cracked it! Today we are introducing Boomless Cruise—supersonic flights up to 50% faster with no audible sonic boom.

We quietly (har har) demo'd this on XB-1's first supersonic flight—three times actually. 🧵👇

My former Airbnb colleague, Jakob Kerr, just launched his new novel, Dead Money. I haven't read a novel in awhile but I really enjoyed this one. It's a tech industry thriller. Check it out:

I grew up in L.A. and on those beaches. Family and friends are all safe, but I'm shocked by the news of loss for them and so many. The fires are my professional focus, but personal as well.

For L.A., the team @Airbnb announces:

One year ago at this time I had the pleasure of visiting Airbnb alum Flo Sciberras and his team at their office in at Station F in Paris. I'm very proud of their progress. Congrats!

[Florent Sciberras @FSciberras]
