We aim to reimagine how the workplace can empower people to be impactful and fulfilled.

Today, we’re constantly reimagining how the workplace can help motivate, make productive, and make happy.
WeWork pays a lot of money to landlords and even more for cosmetic upgrades. Thus it relies primarily on revenue from renting to offset its high expenditures. If a location does not attract enough customers to fill available spaces, or if the client’s rental money does not pay WeWork’s rent, the firm is in jeopardy. WeWork is essentially a real estate company. Yet it is classed as a technology company. This has led to overvaluation concerns.
WeWork has been accused of being a "ponzi scheme" due to reliance on raising debt and equity to fund growth. There are concerns that WeWork is not profitable. It may struggle to generate enough revenue to cover costs long-term. There are also concerns about WeWork governance, with some critics claiming it is controlled by its founder Adam Neumann detrimentally.
WeWork is expanding globally. It might merge, acquire and partner up with companies to accelerate the process. WeWork could start working with an on-demand delivery service, to attract more users. WeWork opened on a college campus. Students taking online university courses were given access to WeWork spaces and meeting rooms.
To address financial challenges, WeWork is expanding globally and partnering with companies to attract more users. Real estate developers collaborate with WeWork for developing office locations.
WeWork provides shared workspaces for startups and enterprises, offering office space for rent cheaply with long-term leases. WeWork converts leased buildings into well-designed offices and charges clients double their own rent. WeWork aims to package more people per location to accomplish this.
