Deal of the week
Frank.ai and WeWork to help WeWork residents take their online advertising to the next level.
The idea for partnership came from the fact that company’s US office was located at a WeWork co-working space in downtown Boston. While meeting other founders, the founder of Frank, Harry, realized that partnering up with WeWork could give his company access to hundreds of thousands of potential clients around the world and reached out to them with an offer.
