Deco Software is Airbnb’s 14th acquisition, and like its 13th, Tilt, it is more aimed at its platform development than expanding its consumer footprint.
Indeed, while Airbnb continues to bump up against regulators and subsequently work through those hiccups, it’s also continuing to build its massive travel empire. As the company continues to expand beyond accommodation and into a bigger travel marketplace, building out its platform becomes more essential, so that is where the Deco deal fits. By way of Deco’s team, Airbnb is picking up specific skills to expand its platform and how it works with both internal and third party developers and designers more efficiently, courtesy of React Native technology.
