继Uber之后美股市场第二大IPO？传WeWork秘密向SEC提交IPO文件

据外媒报道，全球最大的共创空间WeWork周一透露，正在筹备上市，已经向 SEC 秘密提交 IPO 文件。WeWork或将成为今年美股市场继Uber之后的第二大IPO。

自2010年诞生以来，WeWork已经募集了120亿美元的资金，其中多数资金来自软银。2018年11月，据路透社报道，根据路透社的一份投资者报告显示，美国共享办公空间提供商WeWork Cos已从日本软银集团公司获得30亿美元的新增投资。这笔最新的资金是以权证的形式支付。软银将在1月15日向WeWork支付15亿美元，其余的将在4月15日支付。

在外媒一则报道中，WeWork母公司2018年收入为18亿美元，净亏损19亿美元，2017年的收入为8.86亿美元，净亏损9.33亿美元。

以下是以下为WeWork创始人 Neumann给员工的信：

大家好，

这个星期我一直在和我的家人和亲密的朋友庆祝我的生日。这是一个机会，让我反思生命中一些最有意义的时刻:在以色列长大，遇见了我的妻子和伴侣丽贝卡，我孩子的出生，与米格尔和丽贝卡合作创办了WeWork。

从第一天开始，我们公司的目标就一直是创造不同，影响尽可能多的人，创造一个人们创造生活而不仅仅是生活的世界。我们一直专注于如何将我们的业务提升到一个新的水平。作为保留所有选择的一部分，我们在去年12月秘密向美国证券交易委员会(sec)提交了一份S-1注册声明草案。经过深思熟虑，上周我们决定对我们提交的文件提交第一修正案，这是让我们决定成为一家上市公司的一步。作为此次旅程的合作伙伴，我有必要亲自与你们分享这一信息，并再次感谢你们的合作，使我们走到了这一步。

虽然这个过程限制了我们沟通这个话题的能力，但是我们会尽我们最大的努力在我们可以的时候更新给你。我没有一个确切的日期或时间表与您分享，但我希望您首先知道这个过程已经开始。

部分原因是科技，部分原因是我们所处的时代，这个世界从未感到如此渺小，但却有越来越多的人感到孤独。作为世界上最大的物理网络之一，我们有责任在如何照顾彼此和地球的问题上发挥带头作用，为人民和企业树立全球榜样。

感谢你们所有人的辛勤工作和对我们使命的奉献。

真诚地,亚当

Hello everyone, This week I have been celebrating my birthday with family and close friends. It has been an opportunity to reflect on some of the most meaningful moments in my life: growing up in Israel, meeting my wife and partner Rebekah, the birth of my children, and collaborating with Miguel and Rebekah to found WeWork.From the first day, the goal of our company has always been about making a difference, impacting as many people as possible, and creating a world where people make a life and not just a living. We have regularly focused on how to take our business to the next level in every aspect. As part of keeping all options open, we confidentially filed a draft S-1 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in December. After a lot of thought, last week we decided to file the first amendment to our submission, which is a step towards allowing us to decide to become a public company. As partners on this journey, it is important for me to personally share this information with you and again thank you for your collaboration in getting us to this point.While this process restricts our ability to communicate about this topic, we will do our very best to update you when we can. I do not have an exact date or timeline to share with you, but I wanted you to know first that this process has started. Partly due to technology and partly due to the times we live in, the world has never felt smaller and yet more people than ever are sharing that they feel alone. As one of the world’s largest physical networks, it is our responsibility to help lead the way and set the global example for people and corporations on how we should take care of each other and of our planet. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to our mission.Sincerely,Adam
