Airbnb bought a Russian startup

Airbnb has acquired a startup and a studio for the development of environmental sensors Lapka, which was founded by Russian Vadik Marmeladov. The amount of the transaction is not called.

Marmeladov explained that Airbnb bought his startup not because of the sensors being developed, but because of the team. She will be working on new projects for Airbnb. What exactly - not specified.

“What do Lapka and Airbnb have in common? The desire to build off not on a specific product, but on user experience — not on “interfaces” and “design,” but on what is called user experience, ”says Marmeladov in an interview with Slon.

Two of the three Airbnb founders, Joe Gabbia and Brian Chesky, have been interested in Lapka products since they were released, Marmeladov also said. And Gabbia was the first person to pre-order the first Lapka sensor.

Lapka, with 2012, has been developing plug-in electronics to assess the state of the environment and the body. The main set of Lapka PEM includes instruments for measuring electromagnetic background, radiation levels, nitrate levels in vegetables and fruits, and moisture (they are also sold separately). Also in the lineup of the studio there is a wearable test for blood alcohol Lapka BAM.

In September, Lapka announced the second generation of PEM sensors. They do not need to be connected to the smartphone via a wire, so the sensors can be used as a wearable device.
