"Whatever the hell WeWork is—tech company or just a cult-like real estate company that happens to offer kombucha on tap and desperately wants to be viewed as a tech company—it may not be going public anytime soon."https://t.co/jURulNy4sn

If you’re a WeWork employee it’s time to head for the exits.

CEO who’s hidden the details of the business in S-1 filings so much he can’t get enough IPO interest at break even of funding raised has already cashed out $700M.

This is another MoviePass.https://t.co/w275NZQzvN pic.twitter.com/V3YPgdGb3K

We all know about tech unicorns — companies valued at $1 billion or more. A subset of them, however, aren't just that. They're something else. So obsessed with investor profit, they leave a societal rubble in their wake.

These are the daredevil unicorns. https://t.co/ZSwz3MqFCz

It is a blow for a company that had been one of the most richly valued of a raft of startups planning to go public in a banner year for IPOs, but has been dogged by doubt over whether it can thrive as a public company. https://t.co/CUF95tXqb7

It was not enough; WeWork has "postponed" its IPO. I reiterate that the founder has already cashed out to the tune of $700m and does not give a shit whether the company lives or dies any more, he and all his descendants are set for life: https://t.co/pYCBJ83xTK

IPO rejections like WeWork do not happen often. Also hard to see what will change before the end of the year to suddenly make investors excited. Will SoftBank now fund another round? Will it be enough cash? https://t.co/2TkTxGb6LQ

The Saudi's are "re-investing Vision Fund I profits (~29% x $45B = $13B?) into Vision Fund II", and Abu Dhabi is putting in <$10B.

This would put VF II at ~$130B (108 + 13 + <10)https://t.co/Qw0SgaLehy

A company named “We” makes for weird and confusing sentences in newspapers.

“If the IPO doesn’t take place soon, We may have to look else­where for much-needed fund­ing.”

The reporter means “We” the company.https://t.co/9GqFikbEGZ

With the WeWork IPO postponed, there are now real questions internally of whether it can get off the ground this year or next, sources tells me. The financing package may need to be rewritten as well, which is only raising the stakes for WeWork https://t.co/WVLxxIwl6H
