The story that I have been returning to this week is this one, about the US IPO of coworking company, We Work. It is completely bonkers.
From how the company needed to pay $5.9 million to secure the rights of their new corporate name (We Company) from a company owned by the founders, to how the company is loaning money to the founder to buy the properties from which the company now leases.
