As Airbnb absorbs more and more of the demand for housing, it's exploring how to monetize opportunities beyond vacation rentals.

随着Airbnb满足了越来越多的住房需求,它现在也正在探索将业务范围扩大到度假租赁之外。
A marketplace for longer-term corporate housing could be a huge business, but rather than build that itself, Airbnb is making a strategic investment in one of the market leaders called Zeus Living, which will list its homes on the Airbnb site.
更长期的公司用房市场会是一笔大买卖,但Airbnb不是自己建楼,而是对市场领导者Zeus Living进行战略投资,Zeus Living会将房子挂到Airbnb的网站上。
In just four years of redecorating landlords' homes and renting them to relocated workers for 30-day stays (or longer), Zeus Living has grown to a $100 million revenue run rate.
Zeus Living将房东的房子重新装修,租给拆迁工人30天(或更长时间),仅仅四年收入就达到了1亿美元。
It boosted revenue 300% in 2019, and now has 250 employees and more than 2,000 homes under management.
2019年收入增加了300%,现有员工250人,管理住房2,000多套。
Zeus makes money by charging landlords one free month of usage, and marking up the rent charged to customers.
Zeus的营销方式是从房东那里获取一个月免费使用权,然后再向租户收取租金。

It could rent out a $4,000 per month home for $5,000 plus take the extra month to earn $16,000 in a year.

它可以把每月4000美元的房子以5000美元的价格租出去,再加上额外的一个月,一年就能赚16000美元。
Zeus CEO and co-founder Kulveer Taggar tells me, "I fundamentally believe that a lot of human potential is bound by location. At Zeus, we're deeply committed to making it easier for people to live where opportunity takes them." It's already hosted 27,000 residents for a total of 650,000 nights.
Zeus首席执行官兼联合创始人库尔弗·塔格对我说:“我完全相信很多人的潜能受到了地理位置的限制。在Zeus,我们致力于让人们更容易地生活在有机会的地方。”该公司已有27,000名租户,共租住650,000晚。
Strong margins, swift momentum and that megatrend of more mobile workforces have earned Zeus Living a new $55 million Series B round it's announcing on TechCrunch today.
高额的利润、迅猛的势头以及流动劳动力增多的趋势使Zeus Living在B轮融资中又获得了5500万美元,该公司今天在TechCrunch(美国科技类博客)上公布了融资结果。
