Here is a link to a very short interview that I did the other day at The Deal regarding the onslaught of IPOs. I was trying to say that there are no buyers for many of these businesses, so the only exit is an IPO. Also, I would like to clarify that I am not insinuating that these are not good businesses, just that there are no buyers for various reasons – diversified media companies are still hurting, tepid and not ready to make large bets.
