Billion Dollar Loser: The Epic Rise and Fall of Adam Neumann and WeWork The remarkable story of WeWork's rise and fall, as told by Reeves Wiedeman, is a tale of ambition and excess. In the early days, the company promised to make the workplace cool, and its CEO, Adam Neumann, landed on the idea of repurposing surplus office space for the burgeoning freelance class. Over the course of ten years, WeWork attracted billions of dollars from top investors, while spending it to build a global real estate empire. Based on over 200 interviews, this book chronicles the breakneck speed at which WeWork's CEO built and grew his company. The story culminates in a day-by-day account of the five weeks leading up to WeWork's botched IPO and Neumann's dramatic ouster. With incredible access and piercing insight, Wiedeman exposes the company's desperate attempt to secure the funding it needed in the final moments of a decade defined by excess. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the world of business and entrepreneurship, Billion Dollar Loser is a gripping and unputdownable account of the company's rapid rise and crash.
