WeWork, a provider of co-working and office space, is looking to expand, having recently taken over its Chinese rival, Naked Hub (founded in China in 2007) for an estimated $400m. WeWork's co-working spaces provide fast Internet, 24/7 building access, daily cleaning, mail handling, printers and more. SoftBank reportedly invested $300m in WeWork in March 2017; by August 2017 this was reported as $4.4bn investment from SoftBank and its related Vision Fund which includes other investors. $1.4bn was earmarked for expansion in China, Japan and Southeast Asia. WeWork's CEO Adam Neumann articulated the company's vision as attempting to "humanize" the way people work.
