WeWork has signed a deal to provide space to 250 employees of gym membership app company Compass in New York. It's the latest example of the U.S. office-sharing start-up’s majority owner, SoftBank Group Corp, using its connections to buoy its business. Reuters reports SoftBank is also a minority investor in Gympass. SoftBank is hoping this network of portfolio companies will help its attempted turnaround of WeWork. SoftBank rescued WeWork from bankruptcy last year by acquiring majority control.
