WeWork Inc.

WeWork Inc. (NYSE: WE), the flexible workspace and co-working company, entered the public markets in October 2021 through a merger with BowX Acquisition Corp, a SPAC sponsored by BowX Ventures, the investment firm co-led by Vivek Ranadivé and Murray Rode. Operating across major global markets in the commercial real estate sector, WeWork filed an 8-K with the SEC on November 7, 2023, disclosing its voluntary petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, marking one of the most high-profile SPAC-era corporate failures on record. The filing came amid sustained revenue pressure and a heavily leveraged balance sheet.
