Masayoshi Son, the CEO of Softbank, has said WeWork is the next Alibaba, comparing his investment in the co-workspace operator with his lucrative early bet on the e-commerce company. The company will be based at a new office building that was recently completed near San Francisco’s Union Square. The company's edge lies in the steady flow of data it collects on members, which is shared with other locations and can be accessed by users of the WeWork app around the world. Community teams at each location track members' profiles and interests, and share data with other locations and WeWork users around the world.
