WeWork is a real estate company that provides shared workspaces for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small businesses. The company was founded in 2010 and has since expanded to over 800 locations in more than 100 countries. WeWork's spaces offer amenities such as high-speed internet, printing and scanning services, and conference rooms. The company has faced controversy over its business model and financial practices, including its failed IPO in 2019. In 2020, WeWork announced plans to go public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC).
