Adam Neumann’s Flow Secures Major Funding

Former WeWork CEO Adam Neumann has successfully raised over $100 million for his proptech startup, Flow, boosting its valuation to approximately $2.5 billion. This significant funding round was reported by Bloomberg, citing anonymous sources familiar with the deal. Notably, existing investor Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) participated in this financing round.

Future IPO Aspirations

In an interview, Neumann expressed confidence that Flow could potentially go public in the future, stating he was “sure” of the company’s prospects.

Growth and Previous Funding

Flow, which specializes in residential real estate focused on rentals and co-living, had previously raised $350 million from a16z at a valuation of $1 billion back in 2022. This trajectory of growth has raised eyebrows, especially considering Neumann’s controversial history with WeWork, which once boasted a valuation of $47 billion before filing for bankruptcy protection in 2023. WeWork was ultimately acquired for $450 million by Yardi, a real estate group.
