Has it?
Has it?
Renting commercial space and brining it up to spec to be usable is a lot of work and overhead that a small or startup business very much should probably be allocating elsewhere (building out conference rooms, wiring for power and networking, placing WiFi, entry security, decoration, etc. etc. etc.) It all ends up being extremely time consuming and taking twice as long as best estimates generally disrupting everything, not to mention the years long leases, enormous deposits, contract negotiations and other upfront costs. It is at least somewhat revolutionary to have turn-key office space become prevalent.
(And no, it absolutely hasn't revolutionized anything, but when you're a tech company everyone feels obligated to give you more credit for some reason)
Did it though?
WeWork still isn't in any of the cities near me, and there's been plenty of co-working, "rent-a-desk/cube/table/office", shared workspace places around for a long while.
WeWork's pricing is ludicrous to boot.
The main difference I can see is WeWork has gotten VC money to grow larger than just a single building - which is how most of the other co-working places operate.
