Softbank announces launch, intends to invest $38 billion. Expected amount of capital in the fund expected at $108b
Quite the array of expected LPs: SBG, Apple, Foxconn, Microsoft, National Investment Corporation of National Bank of Kazakhstan, etc pic.twitter.com/4fG3leDawT
The Saudis are NOT currently listed as an "expected limited partner" for SoftBank's second Vision Fund.
— Teddy Schleifer (@teddyschleifer) July 26, 2019
This though only reflects LPs that have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with SoftBank as of right now.
So Saudis could still contribute, as they've indicated they would. pic.twitter.com/PM56yZN91R

Some companies SoftBank named as investors in its new fund said talks were still at an early stage. One said it hadn't told SoftBank how much it was willing to invest. @meiyume @phred_dvorak https://t.co/QwkLxRTTo0

Genuine question, what does Apple/Microsoft get from this? Why couldn’t they just direct invest companies they thought were interesting? https://t.co/6YCHjbxMZh

SoftBank has plans to launch a new $108bn Vision Fund that could be even bigger than its first, which already broke records as the biggest private pool of money ever raised.
