The Spectacular Rise and Fall of WeWork

In less than one year, WeWork went from having a $47 billion valuation and being the darling of the venture capital world to needing an $8 billion infusion to avoid running out of money. This is the story of Adam Neumann, Softbank’s risky investment, a failed IPO and how we got here.

The Breakdown showcases rise-and-fall stories from the modern business world, told through the lens of Bloomberg reporting. Episodes look at what contributed to not only the success of a business or organization, but also the turning point at which the fall began. Prior stories covered include the NRA, Hertz, WeWork, Boeing, Kodack and many more. See the full series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqq4LnWs3olWs0miiytL-wndnY0TXNnSf
