Publisher's Synopsis
Adam Neumann, who was hailed as a potential savior of Silicon Valley's startup scene, planned to go public with WeWork, his office-sharing business that was upending the commercial real estate market, cash in on the company's $47 billion valuation, and end the trend of major startups failing to satisfy their investors. WeWork's funding was based on promises that the company was more than a provider of real estate; in fact, it was a transformational technology company, as both employees and investors soon discovered.
