The WeWork story is one that most of us are familiar with but as you’d expect we go deep into how Nueman was able to raise billions from some of the savviest investors, and from other investors like Softbank, who, as we find out, aren’t very savvy at all.
What I love about this story is that as soon as I started digging, I kept coming across facts and figures and quotes from Neuman that just left me stunned- how did he get investors to fall for his schtick?
We dig into Masayoshi Son the founder of Softbank, this revered investor who takes the biggest bets and also, the most reckless ones.
Even if you thought you knew the WeWork story, as I myself thought, I promise that there’s a lot in here that will keep you in a state of disbelief.
It’s an incredible story- enjoy
