2019 Disruptor 50 No. 3. The We Company

Funding: $11+ billionKey technologies: Artificial intelligence, Internet of things, machine learningIf there's any doubt about WeWork's collaborative aspirations, just note the new name: The We Company. Earlier this year the New York City-based unicorn ditched WeWork to focus on a name that better encompasses its three divisions: WeWork, WeLive and, its newest, WeGrow, its first elementary school.

Adam Neumann and Miguel McKelvey got the idea for WeWork back in 2010 when they were both working in a partially vacant office building in Brooklyn. Neumann was selling baby clothing, and McKelvey was an architect. They convinced the landlord to let them rent out the empty space as shared workspaces, and the idea for WeWork was hatched. In January the company received a $6 billion investment from SoftBank.

Not to be confused with the the original female urinating device; The Shewee Company.
