Groupon Rejects Google’s $6 Billion offer, Hoping to Issue an IPO


[smartads]

According to the Chicago Tribune, quoting two people “with direct knowledge of the situation”, Groupon has reportedly rejected Google’s $6 billion offer for the Chicago-based daily deals start-up, Groupon Inc. and will remain independent.

A source also told the Tribune, “Groupon may still choose to pursue an initial public offering but will not make a decision about going public until 2011”.

Groupon’s run rate for this fiscal year is clocking in at close to $2 billion in revenue, rather than the widely speculated $500 million, according to sources close to the situation.

What’s your opinion on the rejection of the Google offer for Groupon?  Is this a smart or dumb move?

  1. I just want to mention I am very new to weblog and certainly enjoyed you’re blog. Most likely I’m likely to bookmark your website . You certainly come with wonderful articles. Thanks a bunch for sharing with us your web site.

  2. This is the fitting blog for anybody who desires to search out out about this topic. You realize a lot its almost hard to argue with you (not that I truly would want…HaHa). You definitely put a brand new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just great!

  3. I have got one recommendation for your website. It seems like there are a number of cascading stylesheet problems when launching a selection of web pages in google chrome as well as opera. It is functioning alright in internet explorer. Possibly you can double check this.

  4. If you dont mind, where do you host your weblog? I am looking for a very good host and your site seams to be extremely fast and up almost all the time

  5. Have you given any consideration at all with converting your main web site in to Chinese? I know a couple of of translaters here that would help you do it for no cost if you wanna get in touch with me personally.
