  • A discussion about Adam Neumann’s new residential apartment startup — Flow

    This an interesting discussion about Adam Neumann’s new startup Flow (which I recently wrote about here).

    More specifically though, the discussion is about venture capital firms backing “failed” entrepreneurs, and whether or not Flow can really be that much more valuable than your typical apartment REIT.

    In its simplest form, Flow might just end up being an apartment company with a strong national brand and a consistent resident experience. But maybe that’s all it needs to be.

    If the link doesn’t already do it for you, jump to the 7:19 mark to start with this discussion. After Flow, the podcast moves on to housing policy in the Bay Area, Houston, and Miami. So you may also want to stick around for that.

    Thank you Ocean Jangda for sending this over.
