WeWork was founded in 2010 by Adam Neumann and Miguel McKelvey to design and operate shared workspaces for a broad array of customers including startups, freelancers, small businesses, and entrepreneurs. As of 2019, the company operates over 846 locations in 123 cities spread over 37 countries. Beyond simply the spaces, the WeWork’s focus is on creating a community between its members, hosting many events including happy hours, lunch and learns, external events, and even a “Summer Camp.” In addition to the workspaces, WeWork has grown to include additional offerings such as WeGrow, a school, and WeLive, which are flexible stay, fully furnished living spaces.
