WeWork Is Said to Rethink Sale of Startup Back to Its Co-Founder

WeWork bought the startup Managed by Q last April, just months before its initial public offering dramatically imploded. Not long after, a Managed by Q co-founder was in talks to buy his company back. Now, those talks have fallen through, according to people familiar with the matter, and the startup is likely to be sold to a rival instead.

The people familiar with the talks asked not to be identified discussing private information, and because a deal has not yet been finalized.
