Founded in 1994 when the Internet was still a "plaything for techies," the instance is set in 1998 when Internet IPOs were red hot. Internet Securities supplies hard to find business financial, economic, and political info on markets that are emerging. Info from over 600 advice suppliers in more than 25 emerging markets (e.g., China, Russia, Poland, Venezuela, Argentina, Chile, Turkey) is supplied to over 650 institutional clients, including J.P. Morgan, Deutsche Morgan Grenfell, KPMG, and ING Barings.
After ruling out seeking another round of VC financing, the cash-strapped creator of this Internet information service provider must determine whether to IPO or accept an offer to be gotten by Euromoney, a global publishing and information content provider that is keen to launch an Internet information service. The case includes a term sheet that can be reviewed to support analysis and decision making.
