There are two rather high profile IPOs coming down the pike shortly.
One is Dunkin Donuts, which is the Starbucks for people who don’t feel like being assaulted with Sarah McLaughlin every time they go on a caffeine run. The other is LinkedIn, which as far as I can tell is basically LexisNexis for Human Resources professionals and a way for you to find out that the horrible person who broke up with you freshman year is now the Vice President of Something.
While I can’t predict what the reception of these deals will be like, I can forecast that the media and business press will have a field day with their headlines. I’ll tell you what those headlines are going to be in advance, let me know if I missed any obvious ones…
