How do you get the most as an investor in the Softbank era?


With Softbank's US$100 Billion Vision Fund, sovereign wealth funds and tech giants able to write huge cheques for startup investments, how do smaller investors get the most bang for their buck as a startup investor nowadays? Are these big investors raising the valuations of startups over the top? Even during the pandemic, these big investors are looking for big returns. 

Softbank may be going through a bad patch now but it still has a lot of clout in the startup ecosystem. Its investments in the sharing economy may be down now due to the pandemic but otherwise its portfolio companies are good businesses, with good business models, which attracted millions of customers.

VCs, VC funds, PE investors, Angel investors, incubators and accelerators are going to have to rethink their investment strategy in the Softbank era. 

What imapct has Softbank had on the startup ecosystem and how are startup valuations and investment strategies changing?
