In 2010, Rebekah and her husband Adam co-founded their company, ‘WeWork.’
The pair would rent office space, divide it into ‘sections’ then sub-let the individual spaces to freelancers, start-up companies, and other entrepreneurs.

It seems like ‘WeWork’ was just the start of something bigger – Since then, they have branched out, creating subsidiary companies such as ‘WeWork Labs,’ ‘Rise by We,’ ‘WeLive,’ an expensive communal type dormitory for adults where they share common spaces such as bathrooms and kitchen.
The business now also has ‘WeGrow,’ an innovative and revolutionary idea for a new schooling environment for children ages three-eleven years old.

At the annual three-day ‘WeWork’ summer camp, Rebekah made quite a controversial comment, which left some female audience members, baffled. She started thanking Adi Neumann (Adam’s sister) for taking him in and helping him get on his feet when he moved to America from Israel. In front of 8000 people, she said “I’m so grateful you helped him. A big part of being a woman is to help men like Adam find their calling in life”.
She may have been trying to make a wider point, but the comment wasn’t well received. Ellen Huet, a Bloomberg Business Reporter tweeted Rebekah’s quote, commenting ‘it sent my eyebrows into the stratosphere.’
