Softbank Capital and B2B:

A number of posters were expressing advice to Softbank for focus more on B2B. Softbank Capital, at least, is apparently already doing so. From a story in Bloomberg today:

quote.bloomberg.com

"...said Bill Burnham, general partner of venture capital
firm Softbank Capital Partners..."

"Burnham also said he expects to invest $1.25 billion of his current venture capital fund by year's end. He expects to raise as much as $2 billion to start a new fund by the end of March.

Softbank Capital aims to invest 20 percent to 30 percent in Internet companies which are global in reach and No. 1 in their markets. The three areas that interest the firm are e-commerce Internet companies, especially business-to-business outfits, as well as digital media, particularly music over the Internet and also just basic Internet content businesses like a GeoCities, which was bought by Yahoo! Inc. earlier this year."
