Founders' reviews of SoftBank Vision Fund
Older than a year by non-portfolio founder
Round: Series A
Regretfully, it didn't work out
The Softbank London team was incredibly helpful and we particularly benefitted from connecting with their ops team. They're constrained by having to write larger checks than most, but as a team they were very approachable and always professional. Ended up going in a different direction.
