A Valent-less IPO

February 28, 2000 02:01 PM

Charlene Li of Forrester on Lycos' Valent Acquisition: When I talk to these small companies, quite a few of them in the back pocket say, "No, we don't want to go IPO, we just want to be acquired by an America Online, a Yahoo. They are trying to be low cost. Until they really need the space, they just work out of the basement."
