Sorry, WeWork Isn't at All Like IWG or Regus

The We Company filed to go public Wednesday, prompting a fresh round of media-bashing for the office-sharing juggernaut.

One particular criticism kept coming up: That WeWork's valuation is much higher than that of IWG (International Workplace Group), a global co-working company that owns brands including Regus and Spaces, even though IWG has more revenue and many more locations than WeWork and is profitable. Here's a sampling of the critiques that landed on Twitter:
