SoftBank needs to invest $100 billion and at-least needs to make a trillion over a decade. That’s a lot of money. It doesn’t quit working with small startups. At 100k investment like YC makes they’d have to fund a million startups. That’s more than all startups world wide.
At 100 mil, they’d have to fund 1000 startups. That’s still a lot of due diligence, and hand holding to do to grow them.
I guess SoftBank is the experiment that will let us know whether it’s possible to invest huge amounts of money and still get startup returns.
On another note, would 100B have helped us solve our age’s biggest problems like sustainable energy, efficient governance, efficient basic healthcare etc.
Like how far does a 100B go?
