The owner of office-sharing company WeWork plans to launch a roadshow in New York for an initial public offering as soon as Tuesday, The Post has learned.

Despite persistent skepticism about the company’s business prospects and corporate governance under Chief Executive Adam Neumann, We Company signaled to investors on Monday that it’s pushing ahead with the IPO, a source with direct knowledge of the situation said.

According to one source briefed on the plans, the roadshow will kick off on either Tuesday or Wednesday. We Co.’s board is expected to meet Monday afternoon to finalize a decision, according to a source.

A rep for We Co. declined to comment.

We’s valuation could fall below $20 billion in the IPO, down from a January fundraising round in which the giant Japanese tech fund Softbank valued the company at $47 billion, according to sources briefed on the discussion.

We Co. on Friday amended its IPO filing making it more palatable to investors who have voiced concerns about Neumann’s outsize power at the company.

That included cutting the voting power of the highest class of shares by half, and giving the board the ability to remove Neumann as CEO.

Softbank will be buying at least $750 million of the shares in the IPO in a bid to prop up lackluster demand, according to the Wall Street Journal. The deal is expected to raise $3 billion and make 25% or more of the company’s shares available to the public, the paper reported.

Companies going public typically hold a road show promoting their offering in the week or two prior to the offering.

The IPO is being led by JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs.
