Soft­Bank bets $1.1B on Roivant CEO Vivek Ra­maswamy’s brash new biotech strat­e­gy

With piv­otal da­ta loom­ing on his first big biotech play, Vivek Ra­maswamy just land­ed a whop­ping $1.1 bil­lion in­vest­ment to back the ex­plo­sive growth of Roivant Sci­ences. And he has a new fledg­ling ‘vant’ to add to the port­fo­lio to­day — his 6th — as Roivant mus­cles up on da­ta analy­sis tech.

Soft­Bank Vi­sion Fund — a mas­sive $100 bil­lion pri­vate eq­ui­ty fund from Japan’s Soft­Bank with huge con­tri­bu­tions from the Saud­is and a slate of tech com­pa­nies like Ap­ple and Sharp — is con­tribut­ing the cash, which in­cludes funds from some of Roivant’s ex­ist­ing in­vestors.
