Last month, I’ve visited WeWork’s coworking space in Manila, the Philippines located in the beautiful New York-Esque Bonifacio Global City. While I had no expectations, in the beginning, I was amazed by how much their spaces can make you feel.

I was welcomed with warm greetings that felt like I just belong there. At that very moment, I realized the reason why there was so much hype about WeWork just a few years prior before Neumann’s stepdown.

WeWork, the modern and nature-based co-working spaced company that was once led by the eccentric, cunning, and visionary co-founder, Adam Neumann was once the hottest startup on the whole planet.

And as the Wired Magazine once called it,

“The most hyped startup in the world”

While the majority of people, especially the media tend to focus on what went wrong with WeWork highlighting all the things that are bad, I’d like to emphasize what instead, went right which made the company extremely valuable and the most hyped startup in the first place.
