Timing is everything and they had bad timing.

The time for this company might still not have arrived yet. I just don't see what they could have done at the time and either way Covid would have bankrupted them.

Regus is doing reasonably well, providing the same services as WeWork. So the time was right, just that WeWork was both, a badly managed shit show, and a well executed money grift (millions forbthe name We paid from WeWork to Neuman and WeWork leasing expensive office space from Neuman). No business succeeds, or survives, under that management. Not that VCs care, as long they can dump their shares at some greater idiot down the line before things implode.
