WeWork is like Starbucks and McDonalds business wise. Their IP is all their manuals, their suppliers and financial backers. Strong brand. Lots of adjacent markets. Amazing business!
- narnianal 7y agoI think I've read on HN beofre that they literally do the McDonalds thing where they actually buy office space privately or through other corps and then rent it to WeWork for money. Not sure if this was debunked. Don't follow closely. Personally, when I entered a WeWork for a meetup I felt it's interesting design etc, but it feels like it sucks out your soul. It's like comfy and cold at the same time. Premium Mediocre maybe is the right term for that, not sure.
