Softbank

I keep hearing about ridiculous investments made by Softbank. Its gotten to the point where i am wary of a startup in which Softbank is the majority investor. What do you guys think?

Uber & SoftBank

https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/13/softbank-dragoneer-didi-close-to-finalizing-investment-in-uber/ Can someone explain does this mean they're taking a flat-round? Is this just a cap table change or are they actually getting more money? For employees does this mean price per share goes down?

Softbank - WTF were you thinking!

Softbank invested companies are imploding. Softbank had a big loss for last quarter. Why the F would anyone trust Softbank funded companies anymore? Their strategy of funding companies that believe in growth at all cost has backfired spectacularly.

SoftBank and Deutsche Telekom?

Apparently 80% of Sprint is owned by a company named SoftBank and a lot of T-mobile is owned by a company named Deutsche Telekom? Even if the merger were to go through would it really be to benefit America or these foreign companies? Is SoftBank and Deutsche Telekom well known outside of the US? I t

Is Softbank the worst VC?

Every single investment of Softbank seems to be back firing. Saw news that OYO, Wework, Getaround are laying off employees. It seems to me that if it is for anybody to be laid off it is the investment managers and the partners. Pathetic!

WSJ: Softbank taking control of WeWork

SoftBank "has prepared a financing package that would give it majority (50%+) control of WeWork and further sideline its founder Adam Neumann in exchange for relieving the shared-office startup’s looming cash crunch." Looks like Softbank had no choice but to dig deeper.

Uber & Softbank Deal Lower Uber Valuation?

Softbank bought 15% of Uber stocks with a 30% discount off on its 68 billion valuation. Will this lower Uber's valuation? My friend is joining Uber soon, but a 30% drop in her RSU is definitely something that worries her. Should she ask for stocks before her starts?

For anyone at #Coupang - SoftBank’s Vision Fund just invested an additional $2 billion to further growth, therefore validating the strategy of Coupang is working and putting Coupang’s valuation up to $9 billion.
