What makes WeWork’s business bad is what makes it great
News only seems to be getting worse for The We Company, parent of WeWork, and its investors. In just the past week, news broke that the company was delaying its IPO and that top investors were looking to push out its co-founder and CEO Adam Neumann. Some might wonder: why does WeWork exist at all? The short answer: businesses love it!
For a little bit of money, The We Company will set you up with a cool desk, a cool office, or even a cool headquarters with “custom art and furniture designed for creativity, comfort, and productivity,” and all of the necessary comforts of the working creature like “fresh fruit water, micro-roasted coffee, and tea.”
It’s great for the small business that doesn’t have the time or money to build that office from scratch, and it’s great for the large business that needs a little bit of extra space for a short burst of time.
Over time, it probably makes economic sense to set up your own office. But for a small premium, WeWork will give your business a whole lot of flexibility right now.
WeWorkの良いとこ…少額資金でオフィスが持てる。ここに大手企業との中長期法人契約が纏まると鬼に金棒^^
