*Sasha*: “It’s not silver, but it’s close. It’s some kind of more industrial metal. What else? There is a lot of interest in real estate projects. So, people either want to raise money for building new real estate, or for buying apartments, renting them out, and sharing the profits - several groups of people. One group is ready to launch; I talked about them an hour ago probably. They have one coworking (building) in Amsterdam. They want to scale, and have several coworking places. It is more like a technical hub. You can go there and you can rent an office like, immediately. You go there with your team, and they set you up within a day. You’ll have several desks, Internet, and everything. It’s your own office room and you can start working. So, it’s a very nice thing. It’s pretty useful. If you know WeWork for example, it is a huge company with a capitalization of 15 billion dollars. Their valuation is around 15 billion dollars – WeWork. This is a huge business actually, and they want to raise money for scaling of their coworking place network. You’ll be able to buy some kind of token that allows you to use all of their facilities, all over the world, forever. You just buy it once, and you can use any place that they have, forever. It’s a new way to raise money for business, I think. You sell some kind of voucher that you can use to buy your product when it’s ready. It’s a very nice thing. So, we have this real estate start up. We have this factory start up. We have several more traditional startups like in cryptocurrency that are going to be launching soon. We are talking to like, many normal businesses - to some kind of industry guys who want to make this crowdfunding platform for factories, and to those banking guys. I’m meeting with like 3 to 5 different groups of people each day actually. So, there’s lots of action here, and something is going to materialize very soon. ” (edited)
Did Sasha name drop WEWORK as a potential user of waves?
Interesting.
Although I doubt that a business model of real estate rentals will do much for transaction volumes on the network, the legitimacy that a company like WEWORK would bring to waves would be huge.
