Motivated by having meaningful conversations with people across the world, Haremi had traveled extensively to learn about different cultures before settling in Sydney<\/a> and finding a community of like-minded entrepreneurs at WeWork. A systems architect and technical innovator by profession, Haremi first joined WeWork 100 Harris St<\/a> in Sydney in November 2016, one month after WeWork first opened in Australia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being in a WeWork location helped him build his organization. \u201cIf you plant a seed and wish for it to germinate, grow, and bear fruit, you\u2019ve got to have the right environment to help it flourish. One\u2019s environment (and hard work!) is vital for successful entrepreneurship,\u201d he says. \u201cStepping into WeWork, the building\u2019s unique character and spirit made the workspace feel vibrant, friendly, and entrepreneurial.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
