> The losses for each WeWork member — about $5,200 per customer — are about 28 times what Uber loses per active rider. Why do so many articles compare WeWork and Uber per-customer losses? It's absurd on the face of it. Per customer profit/loss comparisons only make sense when per-customer revenues (or at least lifetime value) are similar. A WeWork customer might be renting a small office for a year and worth >$25,000 in annual revenue. An uber customer might be worth maybe 1% that. It would be better to compare WeWork per-customer revenues to companies like Regus or ServeCorp with whom they are actually competing.
