WeWork開啟了「共享辦公室帝國」, 於2010年在美國紐約成立,其商業模式非常簡單,即是與房東簽約後重新裝潢空間,再出租共享辦公室給較小型的新創公司、自由創業者等,為「共用工作空間」運營模式的創始者。

而不到10年間,WeWork快速擴張,遍佈於世界上近40個國家,2019年有著創投之神美譽的軟銀社長孫正更投入逾百億美金,使這間市值估計約470億美金的公司,看似前途一片光明。但當2019年 WeWork 執行長亞當諾伊曼 (Adam Neumann) 準備申請首次公開募股 (IPO) 時,公司卻一夕間變色,在短短時間內陷入破產疑雲,為什麼?

首先是投資者和分析師,在募股文件發現 WeWork 公司運作不為人知的秘密。如亞當諾伊曼不斷透過公司業務中飽私囊,將公司資金運用拿去買私人衝浪器材,更購入一台6千萬美元的噴射機作為諾伊曼的私人代步工具。而信奉神秘宗教的諾伊曼更是頻頻有脫序行為,例如在飛往以色列的租借私人飛機上吸食大麻,行為怪異或是管理不當等,負面消息讓 WeWork 的市值一落千丈,諾伊曼也被迫下台,導致集團單季慘賠新台幣2000億元。

WeWork在2021年底透過SPAC BowX Acquisition Corp合併借殼上市,接著更重返公開市場。並截至2021年第3季為止,WeWork在全球有超過760個據點與57.8萬名會員,但市值滑落至57.6億美元左右。這間當年的明星企業,還在等待機會重返榮耀。
