TechCheck

WeWork took us on a wild ride. A real estate company disguised as a tech startup, holding long-term leases and turning them around for short-term rentals. It was always a risky proposition, made more so in an era of low interest rates and a “growth at all costs” mentality. And Adam Neumann’s particular blend of salesmanship, cult personality, and huge risk-taking only added to the fire. WeWork would come crashing down, not once, but twice. Now, some are wondering, does Adam Neumann return, and should he? This week on Tech Check, we dig into WeWork’s next chapter – who’s left holding the bag after the implosion, and what comes next.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
