WeWork Labs is to open its first US west coast location in Seattle this month. The start-up incubator will be led by Elizabeth Scallon, former director of the University of Washington’s innovation hub. Investors are hungry to put more money into Pacific Northwest companies, she said, which are buoyed by a “dynamic relationship between enterprise companies and startups.” Scallon said the difference between Labs and regular WeWork spaces is the resources provided that help start-ups succeed at a fast rate. “People are looking for more than just an office space or even a co-working space,” she said.
