Neumann, who left WeWork with substantial wealth, has not officially commented on the matter. Observers note his expressed disappointment from the sidelines and his belief in WeWork's potential reorganization. The situation remains speculative amid the company's bankruptcy proceedings.

Adam Neumann submits bid to buy back WeWork: report

Here's why Adam Neumann's mysterious billion dollar real estate startup will go head-to-head with WeWork

Adam Neumann's secretive residential real estate startup, Flow, aims to compete or partner with WeWork. However, based on a visit to its first building, Flow appears to be self-sufficient and doesn't rely on WeWork.

Flow emphasizes commerce and professional networking to support residents' businesses, providing an alternative value proposition to WeWork.
