About

Masayoshi Son founded SoftBank in 1981 and turned an early $20 million stake in Alibaba into one of the most profitable investments ever made. Through the $100 billion Vision Fund he rewrote the scale of venture investing, backing hundreds of companies including Arm, DoorDash, and Coupang alongside high-profile losses like WeWork. In recent years he has concentrated SoftBank's firepower on artificial intelligence, including major commitments to OpenAI and the Stargate data-center project.
