We are witnessing the WePlosion. Office-rental company WeWork needs to raise cash by "no later than the end of November," the Financial Times reported (paywall), citing two people briefed on fundraising efforts. That's much faster than previous estimates (paywall), which gave WeWork another six months or so at current spending rates. To quickly recap: WeWork in the past two weeks (!) pushed out CEO Adam Neumann, yanked its IPO, put Neumann's jet up for sale, put its side businesses up for sale, and plans to lay off hundreds to thousands of workers. WeWork's new co-CEOs, Sebastian Gunningham and Artie Minson, are scouring the business for possible savings and have told staff to expect growth to slow. Cash has always been an urgent need for WeWork, which posts losses that resemble Pride Rock. The company lost $933 million in 2017 and $1.9 billion in 2018.
