Tollymore Investment Partners discussed its stance on Airbnb, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABNB) in its Q3 2021 investor letter. Here’s what the investment management firm said:

“Today disruptors are not typically seeking to replace incumbents entirely. Rather, they break the links in the customer journey, in doing so better aligning monetisation with value creation and minimising externalities. For example, Airbnb broke the link between staying in residential property and owning it. Airbnb is a specific example of a business model innovation which separated asset use from ownership. This is hardly a novel idea; it’s called renting. Rental models lend themselves to assets which are expensive and durable, and where usage is infrequent.”
