Social Times: LinkedIn Worth $500 Million?

Steven Loi · 1 year ago

This has me thinking about the post that Fred Wilson wrote regarding fixing the IPO problem. He mentioned about the creation of a secondary market for private companies (namely startups) to allow entrepreneurs/employees/investors to sell/buy their stock. (http://avc.blogs.com/a_vc/2008/04/we-need-a-new...) Facebook and LinkedIn's news about these liquidity opportunities perhaps could pave way for this idea.
