"We're launching 'The $1B Bust' series to study the flawed economics & governance failures that tanked multi-billion dollar companies. Thread X is live: WeWork's rise and fall: $47B to Bankruptcy 👇 #The1BBust #StartupLessons #eDC_IITD"

"The Biggest Startup Lie: WeWork was NOT a Tech Company. Founded in 2010 the $47B peak was fueled by $12.8B from SoftBank. Founder Adam Neumann sold "consciousness" but the reality was a simple real-estate play. The house of cards collapsed when the facts came out. 👇 #unicorn"

"The Fatal Flaw: Renting Money. Not Tech. WeWork used VC cash to gamble on a financial mismatch: 15-year lease liabilities vs. 30-day membership revenue. FACT: The model guaranteed $17.92B in fixed long-term payments. When revenue stopped the cost monster was exposed. 📉 #LESSON"

"The Founder's Folly: When Governance Vanishes. Adam Neumanns unchecked power led to outright self-dealing exposed by the 2019 filing: Forced WeWork to buy "We" trademark (repaid $5.9M). Owned property then leased it back to WeWork. Board failure + self-interest = crash"

"The Inevitable Crash: From $47B to $10B.📉 Post-IPO failure & Neumann's ousting SoftBank intervened. FACT: Valuation plummeted from $47B to below $10B in late 2019. After a 2021 SPAC merger ($9B val) the stock slid culminating in bankruptcy by 2023. The reckoning arrived"

"The Final Score: Bankruptcy. On Nov X 2023 WeWork filed for Chapter XX Bankruptcy. FACTS: Liabilities $18.66B Assets $15.06B. Post-filing valuation: $45M. (A XXXX% stock decline). The Lesson: High growth is irrelevant without solid unit economics and strict governance"
