Adam Neumann took WeWork to a $47B valuation on roughly $16B of SoftBank money, then watched it collapse into bankruptcy — and reportedly walked away with over $1B. In 2022 Andreessen Horowitz wrote him a reported $350M cheque for Flow, a branded, tech-enabled apartment operator now valued around $2.5B. In Silicon Valley, the short argues, that is not failure; it is a pitch. A story about how the capital markets actually treat founders who burn big.

- Reported $350M from a16z — one of the firm's largest single cheques.
