SoftBank Vision Fund's recent investments have attracted a great deal of scrutiny in the aftermath of WeWork's failed IPO, especially after SoftBank Group reported a $6.5 billion loss in the third quarter. SoftBank had raised $1.5 billion for SoftBank Capital Partners in 1999, which likely made it the largest late-stage venture fund at the time, according to SoftBank documents. SoftBank Capital Partners invested in companies across the web landscape in the late 1990s and 2000, but when the dot-com market subsequently crashed, the fund and other SoftBank investments came close to being wiped out.
