Manatt Phelps' Jay Rand on tech M&A
"It's an interesting market on the sell side," says Jay Rand, a partner of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP, in The Deal video. Venture capital firms that still have in their portfolios companies funded in the late '90s are "very, very motivated to get these legacy companies sold or in some cases to go public," says Rand, who advises venture-backed companies and VC firms, including Union Square Ventures, and previously, USV co-founder Fred Wilson's first firm, Flatiron Partners. The interview with Rand is part of The Deal magazine's series, Faces of the Middle Market, presented by Merrill DataSite. -- Mary Kathleen Flynn
