WeWork, once valued at an astounding $47 billion, initially impressed with its vision to transform office spaces. Founded in 2010, the company's rapid rise under Adam Neumann and Miguel McKelvey promised flexible workspaces. However, as it approached its 2019 IPO, revelations of substantial losses and governance issues led to the cancellation. The question lingers: was WeWork's unicorn status a genuine success, or did it hide deeper issues?

The modern corporate strategy is to pay all the important people up front as the business is initially capitalized . Then investor money is used to buy a market share for a few years. The business never really turns a profit and it collapses. But the founders and any investment bankers involved walked away with the money--years earlier.

I’m not sure Amazon is a good example of this “burning money” concept you speak of. I could be wrong. But, Amazon’s economics actually made sense. They were just reinvesting in the company instead of returning money to investors immediately. Many companies today have economics that don’t make any sense.

@bagussriyono1085 5 месяцев назад

I guarantee if you ask Every startup/company that burning money they will say they are reinvesting in the company, literally everyone including Amazon. BUT Amazon has AWS, literally the infinite money glitch that save the company during downturn. Bezos is lucky to have Andy(Amazon CEO now) as part of the company. Meanwhile you see in wework literally have no effort or people that can be relied on. People only find out they are not when it fails and suddenly say "I knew it", just like FTX, everyone literally thinking he is nerdy genius and when it fail, everyone pop up claiming they already predict it. This is not to say all of them are crook/scammer. Many founder-led company founder genuinely work hard to achieve what they have now, it's the beauty of capitalism, when you give someone a proper incentive they will work their ass off to get it.

can we have a video of how many founders who really started from nothing, not borrowed money from family like Adam from his Sister, Elon from his Dad, Zuck with his family or Gates who's from a wealthy family. It seems to me that a lot started from money or at least have money to begin with. And having money means having the connection as well. And I think it's being overlooked how money or connection really has the highest impact in making your startup a success. Imagine, if Jeff has no money to support him during the early years of Amazon? or Zuck with Facebook? Or if Amazon or Facebook were founded initially by minority founders who've no money nor connection?

She outright lied about what her company was doing while putting people’s lives at risk. Not defending Adam here, but he didn’t really commit a crime, investors could have and should have done better DD on the firm and business model and they would have realized it was a terrible business and that the founder had startling conflicts of interest and not invested or given him more money. But they willingly gave him money to spend as he saw fit, and he spent it partying, buying buildings for himself and overall living like a king instead of growing the business. Is that a crime? No. Is it immoral and sleazy? Yes.

WeWork rented office building floors in chunks which meant chunk of $$ paid to building owners; then, WeWork turned around and retail rented to individuals who paid small scrappy amount for hours or 1/2 day a week. The administrative work probably wiped out profits. The wholesale acquisition and retail renting model was destined to fail.

WeWorks big value was in its brand and corporate leasing. They offered me a fully furnished headquarters for $250k per month with a 3 year lock-in. They had an occupancy rate of like 99% in SF and were used as satellite offices by corporations for teams in smaller markets or who were remote. They should have focused on this part of the business sooner to lock in as many corporations as possible. Had they had committed 5 year leases with X number of headcount and say 3 years paid upfront, by end of 2019, they would have survived as a company. They relied on individuals way too much and way too long. Their second business was WeLive. A golden opportunity they missed. They had the cool factor and could have made this a reality, buying up or subleasing buildings and dividing them up into tiny apartments in high cost of living and dense cities at premium prices. The pandemic probably would have screwed them due to rent forbearance but overall, this is a healthy segment of the market.
