Hi all! In light of the shocking news of Couchsurfing accepting a $7.6 million investment and becoming a for-profit company, HC founder Veit wrote a statement that the Hospitality Club will never be a for-profit business, and that we are currently developing an open-source website for HC. See the statement here: http://volunteerwiki.hospitalityclub.org/couchsurfing-for-profit-business-no...

Hello CouchSurfers!
We started CouchSurfing with a crazy idea in mind. We thought that maybe, just maybe, the world could be changed one couch at a time. 5,766,182 inspiring experiences later, we couldn't be more sure of it.
What you’ve done as a community has inspired us to take our mission and our vision to a whole new level. We want to understand what inspiring experiences are made of, so we can enable you to have more of them. We want to make CouchSurfing easier to use so that anyone who’s interested in changing the world one couch at a time will feel welcome here.
To accomplish this, we’re making a big change in structure. As of today, CouchSurfing is proud to announce that we are joining the growing ranks of certified B Corporations.
What does that mean? As a B (Benefit) Corporation, CouchSurfing will be part of a group of innovative businesses that deliver products and services with a commitment to social and environmental responsibility, transparency, fair work conditions, and doing good for the world.
