Discussions » 😅 This Week in... WeWork-related links. (🔗 Visit source)

All-in-all, there were 100+ links picked up by my news system related to WeWork's bankruptcy.

Instead of filling the newsletter with so many links about just 1 brand, here's a summary of the a few you should probably know about.

  • The official announcement and positioning as a strategic action.
  • Sarah Travers' experience competing with the brand.
  • Mike LaRosa noting why they're probably not disappearing anytime soon.
  • David Walker's dive into their historical paradox.
  • Why/how David Sacks believes a PE firm will make a fortune here.
  • Why ex-WeWork member Rachel Carell, is grateful to Softbank.
  • Daan van Rossum's alternative view of the firms trajectory and impact.
  • Tushar Agarwal reminding folks that the firm isn't completely like Fyre Festival (and have a real, often popular, product).
  • Jamie Hodari's take on the bankruptcy move.
  • Eric Newcomer's look into whether Adam Neumann may return to the firm.
  • Brendan Wallace's exploration at what most coverage is missing.
  • And finally, Carsten Foertsch's analysis of whether they're down and out.

I think that's most of it. Almost had to send a second newsletter out just to cover this rapidly moving situation. I didn't even get to include how many (70+) leases they've already asked the court to terminate - let's just take a moment to discuss a few of these first? Please?!
