People greatly underestimate the environment and aesthetics. This is the place you'll spend majority of your time everyday for a very long time. I wasn't sold

I wasn't sold on WeWork in theory until I started going with a friend (as a guest) and I was sold immediately.
I tend towards the introverted side so its not the socialising or "networking".. It's the environment:
- constantly kept clean
- good view, aesthetics & lighting
- productivity happening all around you.
- Kewl kitchen area with expensive tea & coffee
All Access is gamechanger too, the idea that I can go to Miami, spend some time at south beach and then be super productive at Lex Avenue WeWork with a super kewl view is AWESOME! (I live in London)..
The idea that u can use the same keycard to work in a familiar yet different environemnt in London & Miami is super kewl. Its like the democratisation of the kind of lifestyle you'd have as a billionaire.
- hef19898 4y agoYeah, and all that comingling woth people from other companies is fun until we talk about IP, material and confidential information... basically as soon as a business actually deserves that name.
- edwnj 4y agoThe kind of work where IP, material & confidentiality matters usually happens in R&D labs. Pretty much everybody who looks for co-working places are working in non R&D type stuff. People from other companies "comingling" is usually a REALLY good thing for the companies. Usually the best stuff comes out of this (Steve Jobs & Xerox's PARC)
