SoftBank of Japan, who has invested $10.5 billion in WeWork – the firm provides shared workspace for startups and small companies - is urging them to push back the date of their upcoming IPO. 

This comes after WeWork considered lowering its IPO valuation to between $15 - $20 billion, according to a report by the Financial Times. SoftBank valued WeWork at $47 billion, earlier this year.
