Lucky Banks Selected for Hot IPO of 2011

June 6, 2011

Groupon is finally going public and 3 banks grabbed the coveted role of underwriter for this most highly anticipated public offering.  Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs will be the lead underwriters - they're listed atop the Groupon’s regulatory filing - while Credit Suisse is the third listed underwriter.

Morgan and Goldman have aggressively competed for big roles in bringing to market this latest generation of hot tech companies.  Morgan Stanley was lead underwriter for LinkedIn, the last hot debut.  Goldman led Demand Media’s offering and has reportedly made strong pitches for Facebook, Zynga and others.  Credit Suisse was dominant during the dot-com boom of the late 1990s - led by Frank Quattrone - but so far has not had a huge presence in this cycle of technology IPO’s.   [Dealbook, 6/2/11]
