In other news, Snapchat filed a 25 billion IPO. When I have time later I’ll decide where I will be allocating all my angel investor proceeds. Why didn’t I think of that? My God, its just an app.
I’ve spent a lot of time with the folks from WeWork over the last six months. WeWork will be on the IPO runway soon and has raised billions in pre IPO loot form Goldman, Morgan, Wellington Capital and their ilk.
WeWorks’s founder, Adam Neumann, failed at every business he ever started until he caught lightening in a bottle with this gem, and he’s still just a pup. His WeWork stake is now worth 2.5 billion.

See you in the morning.
