During the same period, WeWork revenue for the third the quarter doubled to $934 million, up from $482 million a year earlier.

WeWork has been going through a lot of challenges lately. The startup was rescued last week after securing a $5 billion funding from Japanese giant SoftBank Group, which now take control of the company. The new capital infusion gives SoftBank 80% ownership in the company. The funding will help the struggling unicorn startup to stay afloat and accelerate the company’s path to profitability.
