## Caption

Great companies start messy.

Airbnb was running out of money in 2008.

To survive, the founders sold novelty cereal boxes
during the U.S. election.

Obama O’s.
Cap’n McCain’s.

It kept the company alive.

Investors rejected them multiple times.
Today Airbnb is worth tens of billions.

Early struggles rarely look impressive.
Until the story is told later.

Sometimes the scrappy phase
becomes the most legendary chapter.
