I'm not sure what makes WeWork a tech startup. Renting short term office space is not a high-tech endeavor. But it's true that there are plenty of tech startup frauds, like Nicola.

Because we work isn't a short term office rental it is a company that aims to "revolutionize global consciousness" which is clearly a growth industry.

Revolutionizing global consciousness sounds more like a religion or something, but whether it was a, uh, niche religion or a real estate company, surely neither of those things is tech.

FWIW, the WeWorks I've worked in have better tech than most traditional offices I've worked in. The printing and room booking experiences are pretty great.
