December 21st Update:  is reportedly in talks with the SoftBank Vision Fund to invest “upwards of $1 billion” and as much as $1.5 billion in additional late-stage funding, . It is unclear whether this would be a continuation of Grab’s Series H or a separate series of shares. SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ News reached out to the Vision Fund, which declined to comment.

It’s difficult to keep track of who invested how much and when into this ongoing Series H. So, SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ News figured we’d spell it out. Take a look at the chart below, particularly if you’re just catching up.

The most notable investment announcements from above include that $1 billion Toyota funding first announced in June 2018, which kicked off the round that will reportedly reach $3 billion by its closing time. Tallying up the numbers, the round currently stands at $2.65 billion, not including the undisclosed amount that Microsoft invested in the company in October.

If the Series H reaches $3 billion Grab will have raised a known total of nearly $6.7 billion in equity financing. Based on the $9 billion pre-money valuation at the time of Toyota’s first commitment, a total capital infusion of $3 billion would bring Grab’s post-money valuation up to as much as $12 billion.

Of course, as we have mentioned many times before, Indonesia is Grab’s top competitor ‘s home base. Go-Jek started off in the country by offering a motorcycle hailing application and it has quickly expanded into other verticals in Indonesia, aiming to be Asia’s next big online-to-offline superapp. This year, Go-Jek began its geographical reach into other areas of Southeast Asia including Grab’s home base in Singapore.

It’s a tight race, and with capital pouring in from all angles–from automakers to big tech–it will likely only heat up from here.
