WeWork just raised another $4.4 billion from SoftBank
Business Insider
The funding includes a $3 billion investment in WeWork itself, and an additional $1.4 billion in three new WeWork subsidiaries - WeWork China, WeWork Japan, and WeWork Pacific.
As a result of the new funding, WeWork is adding two new members to its board: Ronald D. Fisher, director of SoftBank Group; and Mark Schwartz, external director of SoftBank Group.
Earlier this year, the Wall Street Journal reported that WeWork raised $300 million from SoftBank.
SoftBank's investment represents one of the first made by its new $100 billion tech-focused Vision Fund, which was announced last October and is being described as the largest fund of its kind in the world.
