Description
Christened a potential savior of Silicon Valley's startup culture, Adam Neumann was set to take WeWork, his office-sharing company disrupting the commercial real estate market, public, cash out on the company's forty-seven-billion-dollar valuation, and break the string of major startups unable to deliver to shareholders. But as employees knew, and investors soon found out, WeWork's capital was built on promises that the company was more than a real estate purveyor, that in fact it was a transformational technology company.
Veteran journalist Reeves Wiedeman dives deep into WeWork and its CEO's astronomical rise, from the marijuana- and tequila-filled boardrooms to cult-like company summer camps and consciousness-raising with Anthony Kiedis. Billion Dollar Loser is a character-driven business narrative that captures, through the fascinating psyche of a billionaire founder and his wife and co-founder, the slippery state of global capitalism.
