Wee Works specializes in renting space to very small high tech start ups. It owns several properties in various cities in the US that are trying to attract start ups. Even though it is a bit outside its usual profile of locations, in 20x2, Wee Works hires a consulting firm to conduct market surveys, evaluate zoning and environmental requirements and make preliminary reports and recommendations regarding which cities in Central and South America it should consider for purposes of locating a new building to purchase.
