His video app, mmhmm , had raised $31m (£23m) just a few months earlier, enough for the Silicon Valley company to operate for the next two years. But when SoftBank discovered that venture capital funds had started to offer the year-old company more cash, it refused to be left out. Within two days, Libin was remotely demonstrating his software to Masayoshi Son in Tokyo, and soon after, he was handed a term sheet. Earlier this month, SoftBank’s Vision Fund led a $100m funding round for mmhmm, more than three times what it had received in October.
