It is a very, very generic coworking arrangement. Get A grade space, add services, sublet, rinse, repeat.

The coworking industry, a novelty in US, was alive and kicking everywhere else before becoming a hipster trend in US.

I'd say, WeWork, with all its colossality, is still only managed to secure single digits of the market share. In the future, it has no chances to approach even, say, 10% as competition is cut throat.

They can easily become the dominant player if they can keep raising funds and acquire competitors in few more rounds.
One moment here. What if you competitor will not sell itself? The "grand scheme" fails
