That's right, $30 BN. But just before he met with potential investors, he fiddled with the slides and changed the amount. The fund wouldn't be $30 BN. It would be $100 BN. The investors laughed out loud. He didn't. "Life's too short to think small", he said. And nothing about his journey to becoming one of the world's most prominent billionaires has been small. His company, Softbank, is a giant in multiple industries, with aggressive investment and fast expansion. But also, controversy and very costly mistakes. We'll tell you about Softbank in this episode of Forensics. #startups #Slidebean #softbank 0:00 - Intro 1:07 - Softbank origins 3:33 - Softbank, big risk, big payoffs? 5:33 - Softbank shaking up the world 7:04 - Softbank mired in controversy 8:18 - Chaotic recent times Join our Discord: https://youtube.slidebean.com/discord Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere and https://instagram.com/caya_here ---- Recommended video: Small Business vs. Startup - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k26DOtwPN7s Let us improve your pitch deck: https://slidebean.com/pitch-deck-design?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=video-content ---- 8:16 should read 45B instead of 45M.
