  • May.13 -- Lex Greensill, founder and chief executive officer at Greensill discusses SoftBank’s investment of $800 million in the U.K. FinTech company, what they’ll use the funds for, Uber’s IPO, if there is a bubble in the tech sector and how he’s disrupting the industry. He speaks exclusively on “Bloomberg Markets: European Open.”

      I am here too to cheer for their success. "do you think there is a bubble in tech?". Let me answer that. There is a big bubble in fake tech, but not real tech that actually build and sell something useful. She should ask what makes Greensill a tech firm.

    It’s frightening what a good talker he is, knowing what we know now. Funny though, his business has nothing to do with AI, wonder if SoftBank saw through that.

    $800m invested in a potato farmer who has no personal tangible credibility a supply chain financial system? Pure greed and a disaster waiting to happen.

    This should be Mandatory Viewing for every MBA and Accounting course globally. The interviewers question about barriers-to-entry was batted away brilliantly by this weapons-grade bullshitter. Amazing to watch, knowing what subsequently happened........

    From Watermelon grower to Billionaire? Where did the money come from? From investors and not his money! Entrepreneurship is dead-end and overrated. Out of Million Entrepreneur, only 1 or 2 make it big, the likes of Facebook and Amazon! Keep it simple. Work hard, be honest, help people save money, and own a small house for the family.
