SoftBank plans to cut 20% of Vision Fund staff to shift resources to AI bets
-
最新报道：According to a memo published by CoinDesk, SoftBank will lay off nearly 20% of its Vision Fund team globally to redirect resources toward founder Masayoshi Son's massive artificial intelligence investments in the United States. The layoffs mark the third round of layoffs at the Japanese investment group's flagship fund since 2022. The Vision Fund's website indicates that the fund currently has 44 employees. Unlike previous layoffs following significant losses, this round of layoffs comes after the fund reported its strongest quarterly results since June 2021 last month. The move demonstrates the fund's shift away from a broad portfolio of startups. Sources indicate that while the fund will still make new investments, remaining employees will devote more resources to Son's ambitious artificial intelligence initiatives. According to CoinDesk, a Vision Fund spokesperson confirmed the layoffs but did not provide details.
