In some ways, the brand’s concept, which features access to consistently equipped working spaces in locations around the world, is perfect for a franchise model, but WeWork’s eccentric founder and former CEO <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Neumann?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=does-wework-offer-franchises-2716281" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Adam Neumann</a> chose instead to grow the brand through investment capital, a strategy that all but collapsed after a failed <a href="https://public.com/learn/what-to-know-about-the-2021-wework-ipo?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=does-wework-offer-franchises-2716281" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">initial public offering</a> shot down a once-hefty valuation.

A newly invigorated market for coworking could open prime opportunities for franchising development.<a href="https://1851franchise.com/best-officecoworking-franchises-to-buy-in-2021-2715284">See 1851's favorite office/coworking franchise opportunities.</a>
