WeWork does for office space what companies like Just Works does for HR stuff.

We are a small company that works out of NYC and WeWork is great for New York. Most office leases have a 2-5 year minimum and you have you deal with getting office furniture, janitorial services, etc. It's a LOT of overhead for a small company. Also they let you go month to month or sign up for multiple years at a discount.

Also you don't have to worry about overpaying for office space as wework lets you grow from office to office without having to change your whole office setting slash commute. Its also not HORRIBLE pricing wise if you're okay with having a slightly smaller office space, because it does have a common area with free coffee, milk, beer, etc.

TLDR: WeWork is more than just a sexy startup office space. It also gives you flexibility until you get big enough to be able to need a massive office.

Yep! In downtown Seattle, if you factor in all the overhead, WeWork is cheaper by person until you hit ~15 people... and without that 3 year lease!
