RE: Will the WeWork Crash Prove to Be a Canary in the Coal Mine?

in #steemleo5 years ago

Thanks for this. I've watched WeWork's rise with incredulity here in Israel. To be honest their rise perfectly matched a kind of frothy exuberance that marks the startup sector here. I have a not very nice looking 300 m² mixed warehouse and offices to the east of Tel Aviv in a less than salubrious part of a mixed industrial neighbourhood. It doesn't look nice but I'm pretty sure we're paying 25% of the cost of 2 desks in WeWork. You can buy an awful lot of "free" beer for that.

They did light a rocket under the serviced offices market, but once they did it, every other provider raised their game and I still have no idea how they can differentiate themselves.

Sort:  

We pay around $400/mo./desk in downtown Shanghai. It’s definitely too much. Once you get to 6 people, it makes sense to move to your own space. I have no idea how VC didn’t realize that simple truth.
