SoftBank invests additional $2bil into Coupang

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. Was the new 409a price shared internally? Was the investment considered a liquidity event where you were able to sell NSOs for income?

SoftBank is crap. Always inflates valuation. Those companies will suffer

Yep. I really see Alibaba and Uber suffering from SoftBanks investments. /s

How would they suffer? They already have their money

That was sarcasm, sorry. It was in reply to the individual who said startups with SoftBank investments suffer.

What the fuck is SoftBank doing

Target SeaTC OP Nov 21, 2018

Investing in companies? I mean they invested in Uber. Are you wondering wtf they’re doing with that too? Lol

I wonder a lot. You should try it.

It may also mean coupang is bleeding money and SoftBank has to keep it afloat to protect its investment.

Target SeaTC OP Nov 21, 2018

Sounds like the Amazon way.

And Uber way. Legit companies won't need so much investment if they're not burning money.
