CNBC spoke with Hussein Kanji of Hoxton Ventures, London’s venture capitalist, about why it was “irrational for SoftBank” to give preference to a U.K. Listing over a U.S. one.

He stated that listing in the U.K. has no upside and there is enough downside, noting a lack of research, low valuations, and the media. To convince people to change, you need to offer upside and downside.

CNBC was contacted by another venture capitalist. The sensitive nature of this discussion prompted him to remain anonymous.
