I can see why they were able to raise so much money. Whatever you might think of their value proposition and general business model, they are very confident and their vision is compelling. That being said... that reporter must be feeling mighty smug right about now.

They talked about feelings and emotions the whole time. He said nothing, just a low budget therapy session.

[@goethemephisto]

They couldn’t define their business, or simply answer the question “what is it that you do”!!!!??? They were doomed to fail, notwithstanding the crookedness of the founder - which accelerated the company’s demise.

[@suhyunkim1463]

I remember attending an entrepreneurial event held at WeWork and being mesmerized by the interior design of the place. The common space was awesome. But I felt individual work space was not as well designed and the membership price was too high. I think WeWork failed mostly due to execution problems and for too quick expansion. After something fails, it is easy to say retrospectively that something was bound to fail, that the plan was obviously flawed. Yes it was too much of a hype. But how about some of the most successful tech companies? Like Instagram, FB and Twitter? Are they not too much of a hype beyond what may be good? And yet you may not be criticizing these.

[@thewkovacs316]

wework wasnt a tech company they tried to sell themselves as a tech company...it was part of the scam

“Our main thing is we create and curate culture”. Pause and think about that. Ultra Narcissism.

[@suhyunkim1463]

He may be an ultra narcissist, I don't know. But from that quote alone, I don't think there is sufficient information for condemnation. A lot of companies, especially startups, care a lot about company "culture" and use that word. For successful entrepreneurship, it is indeed crucial to have the right culture.

[@cindytartt4048]

@@suhyunkim1463 but he’s not talking about a company’s culture: that’s a completely different issue & he doesn’t address this (the company’s culture wasn’t sustainable & frankly, was pretty nasty).

I think the main problem was the price was too high for the value being offered. That said, when the woman started to speak, I do hear BS. Influence from Buddhism, etc, enlightening, leaning in, relying on others-these are weasel words indeed.

INTERVIEWER IS EMBARASSING, Adam created a unicorn company, whatever happened he was able to create something that required some respect. Financial partners were simply using Adam to pump the value until possible for the ipo and once they saw that was not anymore possible, they worked to crushed the business and to make it possible to acquire it for less less money and without Adam. and in 2022 after covid wework is still there.the fact is that he was able with his approach to open (alone, with his talent and with Miguel) top locations is top places, or do you think it is easy to close leasing like these?

whatever you said, they changed the way we work, workspace sharing was not really existing before. It is easy to critizize him now (you are really nut if you don't consider that everything was approved by the board and financial partners and investors, it is always the same story, like for theranos). I simply think he was like many others, great but a little too crazy, I don't think the evacuation crushed due to him but simply due to someone that wanted to acquire them for less money and to be able to fire him. Now, lockdown of course impacted a lot on them and the situation is in standby. After covid in some years people will not able to afford an office anymore, workspace like wework will come back super popular, because remote working is too much alienating, you need some space where to socialise and networking.
