The SoftBank Vision Fund has walked away from talks to invest in Cadre, a real-estate technology startup owned partly by Jared Kushner, but other investors are offering to buy a stake, according to people familiar with the discussions.

One term sheet would value the firm at as much as $2 billion, two of the people said. That would be more than double an $800 million appraisal at the end of last year. Reema Bahnasy, a spokeswoman for Cadre, declined to identify that investor or provide any other information about the sensitive discussions.
