Where does the article mention SoftBank specifically?
- borski 7y agoIt doesn’t, and that is parent’s point. The companies it mentions and the “gig economy” it lambasts is largely the result of insane amounts of funding from SoftBank, causing those companies to make profit at any cost.
- CydeWeys 7y agoAnd to really connect the dots here, SoftBank is Japanese and its Vision Fund is mostly Japanese and Saudi money.
- aguyfromnb 7y ago>SoftBank is Japanese and its Vision Fund is mostly Japanese and Saudi money. Does that money exist in a vacuum? No, it's invested in American companies, for the most part. SoftBank has set absurd valuations, which other VCs have benefited from.
- JohnFen 7y agoNobody forced SV companies to take that money, though. They knew what the deal was.
