LinkedIn just got its massive $1B valuation from a wide array of investors, and all of it was orchestrated by none other Allen & Co., who is making more and more inroads in West Coast digital media and IT firms.
Interesting to see this video, via Paid Content, of the investors talking about their investment… not […]

So I get an email by someone… before replying, I search for them and land on LinkedIn. Once there, I am told I might know some other people. I actually do know a bunch of them… but I am not sure that means I should add them as “friends” - or I guess, contacts. I […]

With Larry Ellison’s Netsuite getting ready to IPO, it’s clearly official: 2007 is the year the IPO gets back into the swing of things.

Paid Content reports on a Globes Online (Israel’s Business Arena) that US and Israeli-based Quigo is looking to seize on investor demand for consumer web media companies, and I guess, the lack of new options. It’s been a few years since Google put IPOs back in vogue amongst consumer firms, but there have not really […]

LinkedIn’s Chairman Reid Hoffman is going to make a lot of money regardless of whether Facebook beats his company LinkedIn to the finish line by filing for an IPO first. He is after all an investor in both companies.
