Yep, I did a few small projects for WW the first year, then they discovered China. At the time, i was mostly selling product (not service) so I had very little to offer them.
Very early in my career, so I was not smart enough to parly that into a monster RDI account or trading chairs or service for early equity.
Another true story, I tried to convince Miguel that tall cubicles were better than glass walls and that's probably what their members would want in those first spaces.
Josh you working for Adam Neumann now?
True story, I sold used rally, equa and sensor chairs to Adam and Miguel for Green Desk, the first co-working company, a year before WW was founded.
Dam that’s actually pretty cool. It’s funny how they nailed the design for the post pandemic office.

Pretty amazing story, yea with the insane capital would make sense to go vertical on ww end so it’s uniform from every country.
Trading office furniture for equity… I like the idea.
Just a story about how Josh cannot spot the next big thing when it's in front of his face.
Naw I am not sure i’d want to be Adam Neumanns vendor unless being aquired. Some of them must of got burned.
at the end for sure.
I know installers in NY who made 10s of millions every year building out spaces for them.
Yes, everyone got burned in the end with anything open, but there are very wealthy people who only ever worked that one account.
High risk high reward.
