出品 | 创投之家 作者 | 李新 农业独角兽破产,孙正义投资血亏 天使投资人并不好当。 当Plenty——这家曾背负"颠覆传统农业"使命的硅谷明星企业,向德克萨斯州法院提交破产保护申请 时,其轰然倒塌的不仅是19亿美元估值的光环,更折射出垂直农业领域技术理想主义与商业现实之间的 巨大鸿沟。 Plenty,这家成立于2014年的垂直农业公司,由一位来自农民家庭的投资经理Matt Barnard创立。 该农场与传统农场截然不同,它选址于硅谷的大楼之中,蔬菜在20英尺高的塔楼里进行水培生长,由 7500个红外镜头、3.5万个传感器,实时监测温度、湿度、二氧化碳浓度等参数,AI系统调控LED光照 和营养液供给。 图 源:抖音 你以为押注的是颠覆性创新,实则是创始人自嗨的科幻剧本。 Plenty曾一度宣称,这种创新的种植方式,不使用杀虫剂、除草剂,无需自然阳光和土壤,在效率上, 每平方米产出效率超越传统农业5-10倍,作物生长周期缩短50%,全年种植多达300种作物,不受季节 限制。 另外,Plenty称它的农作物主要是通过重力给料,而不是浇灌,因此可以在相同空间内种植更多的农作 物,而且耗费的水量更少。 图源:抖音 ...

手上弹药不够。 作者 I 吴琼 报道 I 投资界PEdaily 5000亿美元,孙正义把话撂出去了。 这是献给特朗普上任的"星际之门"项目——由Op e nAI、软银集团和甲骨文牵头,旨在未来四年在美国投资50 00亿美元。当中,一切财 务事宜由孙正义所执掌的软银负责。 如此野心勃勃,却迅速遭到了马斯克打脸:"他们实际上没有钱。"双方唇枪舌战,轰动一时。 直至近日软银财报出炉,似乎更加验证了马斯克的说法 ——2 024年10月至1 2月,软银净亏损3 692亿日元(约合人民币1 70亿);同 时,软银持有的现金储备近5万亿日元(约合32 0亿美元)。 显然,软银手头并没有足够的现金来兑现孙正义的承诺。 软银亏损 孙正义还要干票大的 财报显示,20 24年截至12月31日的九个月期间,软银及其全资子公司总投资额为4266亿日元,旗下愿景基金总投资额为16. 3亿美元, 主要投向企业和前沿科技领域。 当中不难看出孙正义押注AI的决心。比如2024年5月,软银领投英国自动驾驶技术初创公司Wa yv e Te c hnol ogi e s,一举创下英国AI公 司史上最大单笔融资;7月,又买下英国AI独角兽 Gr a ...
