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?!
