Skype Shoots for $100 Million in IPO

摘要

Skype said it plans an initial public offering to raise up to $100 million. “We believe the scale, global distribution and growth of our user base provide us with powerful network effects, whereby Skype becomes more valuable as more people use it, thereby creating an incentive for existing users to encourage new users to join,” an SEC filing said. The Skype deal is “a monster” that will “get things going again” in IPOs, Fred Wilson, principal of Union Square nVentures said on his blog.
