Meetup Spins Off from WeWork

It spins off now.

Also from the email they sent today: "Today we’re announcing that Meetup is no longer a subsidiary of WeWork and has been acquired by a group of investors dedicated to continuing our mission."

2.5 years in the linked article refers to the fact that WeWork acquired Meetup 2.5 years ago.

The 2.5 years is how long Meetup has been owned by WeWork.

So I believe the sale/spinoff is right away, and that comment in the article is just how long they happened to be apart of WeWork

Still a misleading title. Meetup isn’t being spun off. CEO David Siegel even sent out an email this morning (I’m an organizer who pays $200 / year for the privilege) with the same title.

Meetup was acquired by AlleyCorp and “other private investors” according the the TechCrunch article.
