WeWork plans to raise US$1bn+ in its IPO, as per media reports. 
As per its lease disclosures, the company is on the hook to pay an average of US$498 per member per month over the next 15 years just to cover its rental expenses. As of now, it earns less than that per member.
In addition, while the company has high occupancy, it also seems to have a high churn rate which might explain the enthusiasm for enterprise clients.
