“Having a partner that really understands our business, and how ambitious we are, is huge— because service, at the end of the day, needs to be in lockstep with every single track of work that’s happening within Airbnb.” 

– Shirley Lin, Product Lead of Support Products Group

“We’ve never run into a scenario where Support hasn’t been able to scale with us. Support is a reliable, dependable tool as far as speed and performance, and we can build on it and tailor it to be what we need.”
