Today on Equity, Former SoftBank Group International President Alok Sama joins Rebecca Bellan ahead of the launch of his new book THE MONEY TRAP: Lost Illusions Inside the Tech Bubble. Here's what the pair got into:
- What Apple's AI announcements could mean for startup innovation and companies like ARM and Nvidia
- Concerns about the circularity of investments and unusual follow-on rounds led by VCs.
- IPO alternatives in a slow public market
- High valuations, the risk of over-investment and how to know when a bubble is going to pop.
