Airbnb

A website for people to rent out lodging. An example of a dumb sounding idea that turned out really well.

VC: So let me get this straight. A stranger will come into your house and sleep on an air mattress? and then you will give them breakfast? and you think it will be worth $25 billion one day? I know the market is really hot for founders right now but you need to do something else.
