About
Guesty is a property management platform built for short-term rental operators, vacation rental managers, and hospitality businesses managing listings across channels including Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and direct booking sites. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, Guesty was created to address the operational complexity facing professional property managers who needed to unify listings, reservations, guest communications, and financials in a single system rather than across fragmented tools.\n\nThe platform provides a centralized dashboard for multi-channel listing management, automated guest communication, dynamic pricing integration, housekeeping coordination, payment processing, and owner reporting. Guesty serves property management companies ranging from boutique operators with a handful of units to enterprise-scale managers with thousands of properties. Its deep API integrations with all major OTAs and a marketplace of third-party add-ons position it as the operational hub for professional vacation rental businesses.\n\nGuesty reached $163.7 million in revenue in 2024, up from $100 million in 2023 — a 64% growth rate — with over 1,000 customers and approximately 750 employees. The company has raised over $170 million in venture funding and has expanded its feature set through strategic acquisitions. Guesty competes with Hostaway, Hostfully, and Lodgify, and its enterprise-grade capabilities and scale position it as one of the two or three largest property management platforms globally in the vacation rental sector.

About
Palo Alto Networks, Inc. is a Santa Clara, California-based cybersecurity platform company — publicly traded on the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: PANW) as an S&P 500 Information Technology component — providing network security, cloud security, and AI-driven security operations through three integrated security platforms: Strata (network security — next-generation firewalls, SD-WAN, Zero Trust Network Access), Prisma Cloud (cloud security posture management, cloud workload protection, CSPM/CWPP), and Cortex (AI-driven security operations — XSIAM extended security intelligence and automation management, XDR endpoint detection and response, XSOAR security orchestration) through approximately 15,000 employees worldwide. In fiscal year 2024 (ending July 2024), Palo Alto Networks reported revenues of $8.0 billion (+16% year-over-year), with next-generation security Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR — Prisma Cloud and Cortex subscriptions) growing 42% to $4.2 billion as large enterprise and government customers consolidated security toolsets onto Palo Alto Networks' platform versus maintaining dozens of point solution security vendors. CEO Nikesh Arora (joined 2018 from SoftBank as Chairman and CEO) has executed the "platformization" strategy — convincing large enterprise security buyers to replace 10-15 individual security vendors (email security, endpoint protection, cloud workload protection, network detection) with a consolidated Palo Alto Networks platform contract that provides 80% of point-solution capabilities at 50% of the total cost — using the first-year transition economics to accelerate platform adoption through deferred commitment offers (paying a lower platform price in year 1 in exchange for multi-year platform commitment in years 2-4).
