. In each case, these startups raised hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in a single round.Getty
Business Insider raised Khashoggi's murder with Gympass CEO Cesar Carvalho during a wider interview and asked whether accepting SoftBank's money had given him any pause. Carvalho then echoed something other SoftBank startups have told us: that being in a portfolio with category-leading companies like WeWork and Uber is too valuable an opportunity to throw away.
As a condition of accepting funding from SoftBank, Carvalho asked the Vision Fund to facilitate business ties with its other portfolio companies.
