0 comments
A source revealed this week that SoftBank’s Vision Fund is about to close a $1.5 billion deal with Grab, a threefold increase from a previously expected $500.
The southeast asian ride-hailing firm had previously raised $6.5 billion from SoftBank, Toyota, and Chinese ride-hailing company Didi Chuxing. The fund raising put Grab’s value at around $11 billion.
Grab said that it will use part of the funds on its expansion in Indonesia, where it has partnerships with fintech company OVO and e-commerce platform Tokopedia.
