Look, it just got $3 billion in funding from SoftBank. With the new investment, the coworking startup is valued at no less than $42 billion. And if you feel like you've got déjà vu, you don't—SoftBank just really likes WeWork. We present to you as evidence... 1) The Japanese conglomerate is WeWork's biggest investor, and the rest of the pack isn't particularly close. 2) WeWork raised $1 billion from SoftBank in August in a convertible note. 3) SoftBank tossed in ~$4.4 billion in a WeWork funding round last year. So what makes SoftBank so bullish on WeWork? The financials WeWork released yesterday could be a clue. WeWork's Q3 revenue to…
