I don't pretend to be an expert, but what 'tech' is there to AirBNB exactly? A SQL database setup and UI CRUD layers for every popular platform?

Why does this company even need a hub? It could use some extra lobbying power I'm sure, given that it's entire business model is dependent upon them remaining a de-facto monopoly.

Lots of different problems that are complex! For example:

+ Text internationalization system

+ Payment processing

+ User auth

+ User verification

+ A/B testing system

+ User metrics collection from UI

+ offline storage of said metrics

+ data pipelines to process stored offline storage

+ iOS app

+ android app

+ Image storage and caching infra

+ fraud detection

+ search ranking and indexing
