Q*K
发帖数: 3464 | 1 Lots of excitement today about Groupon’s intention to raise a new monster
round of financing, with speculation that the valuation of the still-young
startup reaching nearly $8 billion. That speculation is only partially right
, says a source with knowledge of the financing.
The company is raising big money – around $950 million. And the valuation
is an impressive $4.75 billion valuation. Just not quite as impressive as
the earlier figure being thrown around. A separate source says Allen & Co.
is advising Groupon on the deal.
The company, which just recently turned down an acquisition offer from
Google, has raised $171 million to date, much of it taken off the table by
founders and execs. Our expectation is that much of this new round of
financing, if not all of it, will also be used to cash out existing
investors.
The deal should be closed in a few weeks, says our source. | Q*K
