Lise Buyer's company: CLASS V GROUP, LLC - Guiding Private Companies Through the Whitewater of a Public Equity Offering

CLASS V GROUP, LLC

10 Questions for any Company Considering an IPO Now

1) Is this really the right time for your company to go public? Are there minimum milestones?

2) What, besides putting cash in the bank, are you trying to accomplish with the IPO?

3) Is an IPO the best option now? What about late-stage private or hybrid liquidity options?

4) How do you select investment bankers who will keep your company's interests first?

5) How will you get attention from the right analysts?

6) NASDAQ or NYSE ?

7) What can I do to minimize the risk of leaving too much money on the table? Are auctions a viable choice?

8) Does it make more sense to hire an in-house IR team or use an outside firm?

9) What convinces a fund manager to buy at the IPO rather than letting the issue season in the marketplace?

10) Which time-consuming parts of the process need your complete attention and which can be delegated?

August 2, 2010, 6:53 AM

In a move that further signals its intention to go public, the social-gaming site, Zynga, has hired an Allen & Company investment banker, David Wehner, as its new chief financial officer.

Mr. Wehner replaces Mark Vranesh, who is to become chief accounting officer, All Things Digital reported.

The start-up has now rounded out its executive team, which is headed by the founder and chief executive ,Mark Pincus.

The company has been quite busy of late, landing hundreds of millions of dollars in venture funding and striking deals with Yahoo, Google, and international partners such as SoftBank.

Zynga also recently signed a five-year agreement with Facebook, where the firm first took off.

“Zynga is filling out its executive team to take the business to the next level,” All Things Digital noted.
