Friendship and Alignment: Kutcher cited his friendship with Neumann and his belief in WeWork's "community" mission, acting as a judge for the WeWork Creator Awards.
Investor Perspective: While often identified as a "tech investor" in this context, Kutcher clarified in 2019 that he was not an investor in WeWork at the time, although he was considering it after understanding their technology.
Post-Collapse Views: Despite the company's $30 billion valuation drop in late 2019, others in their circle, such as talent manager Guy Oseary, continued to defend the original vision of the company and Neumann's entrepreneurial spirit. |
