What is Flow | Adam Neumann’s Controversial New Startup

What do you think of Flow? Leave us a comment!

Sounds right up there with fyre festival

fools falling for a yapper with no substance...

Anybody giving this clown another nickel is, by any measure, a clown as well. Let's sit back and watch this circus!

Modern day snake oil salesman and master level bullsh*tter, nothing more.

Adam Newman has the ability to turn timber into gold. Of course, running untethered, he has the ability to turn it into poo.

This man burns $38 billion and now he gets another $350 million. Wash, rinse, repeat.

How is this Not such a scam That he is prosecuted? Someone fill me in ..

I think this will be a quite intereseting venture to follows. Time will tell if Neumann will success or nots.

You better invest goys! this time is real one for sure GOYS! TRUST mE! or you are anti-semitic!.

this is definitely a technology company and should be valued like tech

the guy needs to stop building communes he can capitalize on 🙃

I just don't believe he had this planned for so long... Buying apartments at this rate, during his own financial troubles with wework makes it seem all so chaotic and stupid. Why would he risk so much while doing an exit on wework? I think he bought all those apartments to secure valuation that he later could sell off for a higher profit... Imagine if the 350m dollar invested was literally spent to buy his own properties, since the company Flow has to "own" the properties in order for it be fair.

Brilliant cult leader

what an adam neumany explanation by video creator. Little to no understanding of Flow after 8 mins of talking

What the fuck is he even saying in the beginning.. I feel like “entrepreneurs” always just fill their conversations with inspirational sounding confidence.

Is this Jake Tran? Sound like him..

Such a hero, helping regular Joe. I just wonder why Adam Neumann and Horowitz didn't implement this idea in Israel, since Adam is such a Kabutz fan

Well… How is this any different from Zillow? He is just trying to sell old ideas portraying them to be magic through manipulative storytelling today.

this guy suffers from the same genetic defect that's promient in Jews... Just like Sam Bankman-Fried.. If they pump the idea long enough, it all sounds great in being altruistic, but in the long term all it is is just a money pit that makes them rich and makes the investors or unaware participants of the scam poorer..

I would not touch Neumann even with a 10-foot pole.

Adam N needs to put his money where his mouth is...these types of videos only perpetuate the issues in the past...let him FN DO IT FIRST.

1.) HOW THE HELL did he get 1 BILLION as a payout after FAILING BADLY and SCAMMING at wework.
2.) He's going to be owning the properties that FLOW IS RENTING isn't he? JUST LIKE BEFORE. And he bought them with his 1 billion dollar PAYOUT....

at this point, if you invested in this idiot, you deserve to be laughed at when you loose it all, no sympathy

This is like some sort of weird Family As A Service business model. You live in a house, with a bunch of other people, with whom you form a community of sorts, split the costs of living so that eventually you save enough to move out.
I mean... this is pretty much the same as moving back into your parents house...

He seems caring, interesting and contradictory in his intentions and actions. My first thought was what is his definition of affordable? Doesn't fit with the plans presented in video. His vision for connection is evident and a wonderful idea. I would describe Flow as Intentional Community for the Wealthy. I don't see affordable anywhere. I'm working on my own vision to create an affordable housing community for newly arriving refugees and Adam is right about one thing - the archaic municipal codes preventing more than one house per lot are the biggest obstacle to overcome and were intentionally created to keep "the other" out. I hope he paves the way in Florida and Nashville; it will open the door for the rest of us trying to create safe, connecting, fulfilling, affordable housing communities so needed across the U.S.

Flow will be bankrupt in the near future. Sounds like Wework BS for residential properties.

He’s a billionaire, why does he need 300m from some investor?

He is probably going to run an overpriced instragrammable communal homes.

So he wants to buy existing apartment complexes, put some shitty and cheap gen z aesthetic on it, heavily discourage new property development in the area, and rent it out at astronomical prices? What a revolutionary and ground breaking idea that will surely solve the housing crisis!! 🤣

Neumann is a great conman. He’s good looking, well-spoken, ambitious and completely shameless. I hope he fails in everything he does.

Psychopath

dudebros like him just fail up huh...

I don't understand how these new age venture capitalist, hippies can get funding by just saying the absolute dumbest bullshit I've ever heard. He used a whole bunch of meaningless words to just describe a hippie commune (which he knows a lot about ).

I believe in this idea 💯 I actually am working on something very similar as flow and would be keen to connect to this dude as we can make him sustainable and wealthy

Trying to con his way again

I think this is what he will do. 1) use the $350m to buy his own properties at a premium price now 2) flow will then own the properties and use as a collateral to start a crypto coin, backed by these properties 3) renter pays rent and receive a small amount of coins (touted as a fraction of the real estates). Of course there will be more coins than those backed by the 350m assets, this way he can issues himself a lot of coins as well. Since the value of the coins should NOT fall below the value of the properties, it will be loved by the crypto community, say the total cap of the coin is 3.5b, he simply sell his coins to get money and buy more properties to issues even more coins ( rinse and repeat). Ultimately it’s a crypto project, the property is just a shell company

He sounds like a cult leader.

You guys do realize that the their cryptocurrency will be the only usable currency in the supermarkets inside these neighborhoods sooner or later, right?

This is what companies did in the past. They housed their workers in a certain area and paid them in their own currency which was only usable in the supermarkets hosted by the company. This was mainly to keep the workers bound to the company as they didn’t receive actual $‘s so they couldn’t quit and move somewhere else.

Im not saying that he’s gonna do EXACTLY THAT, but they WILL force their cryptocurrency upon the inhabitants at some point and they’re gonna make a lot of fu***ng money if this actually all goes as planned…

What is he going to buy with all the money he is going to loose for investors

I would not trust him with a dime. Reports of his lavish spending on fun but not being responsible with other people's money is his problem

Even if it’s not 40 Billion, 9 Billion company is still seriously impressive.

It not gonna succeed

A master salesman on the world stage back at it... I am interested to see what he has up his sleeve now...

Huh! This could be possible only if you were a Jew! Sorry guys! 😄. What next? Rent a spouse?

The irony here is that the Horowitz guy once wrote a letter opposing affordable housing in his own locality saying it will degrade the neighborhood

He was successful in doing so

E: reached the end of the video...welp I am glad that you mentioned it

This dude is capable of billsht beyond imagination

My company did a job at his new mansion for months
