TOKYO -- SoftBank Group Chairman and CEO Masayoshi Son told Nikkei on Thursday that his Japanese tech conglomerate wants to more than double its Vision Fund portfolio to 500 companies, bringing dozens to public markets every year.
He added that SoftBank's group of 200 entrepreneurs could even increase to"500 or 1,000" -- also suggesting his successor could come from within that group. Calling the Vision Fund's business model a"manufacturer of golden eggs," Son called the IPO process -- listing companies on public exchanges through an initial public offering of shares --"a white egg turning into a golden egg".Since launching the Vision Fund four years ago, SoftBank has invested more than $90 billion in nearly 200 companies. Big investment gains from a few that went public, including South Korea's Coupang and U.S.
Son said he has learned a lesson from its investment in Greensill, which recently collapsed, but defended the company's business model. "Usually, it is difficult to make a decision with the idea of a conventional financial institution. One of the reasons we can make decisions is that we understand the background of technology," Son said.
Son said SPACs have merits such as being able to present business forecasts and a clear offer price. But he added that"a conventional IPO often opens the door to more investors, and our investees often want to go public with a conventional IPO."
