SoftBank Vision Fund
SoftBank Group's vehicle for very large, very late technology bets, launched in 2017 with $100B in committed capital - anchored by Saudi Arabia's PIF and Abu Dhabi's Mubadala as founding limited partners alongside SoftBank itself. It is included here for the same reason it is relevant to any UAE company raising a large round: two of the region's own sovereign funds are structurally inside it.
