The international private equity firm, KKR, has announced today its plans to go public on the New York Stock Exchange by the end of 2008. The Firm, which is valued from $12 billion to $15 billion, will acquire its publicly-traded Amsterdam investment fund, KKR Private Equity Investors, as an alternative to selling new shares.

KKR is considered the father of leveraged buyouts and is famous for its takeover of RJR Nabisco.


 

 

Your Mom is Not a Valid Test Market

VCWear.com, which started as a joke by Andrew Hyde (StartupWeekend.com) and Matt Emmi (OneButtonLife.com), sells thought inspiring t-shirts poking fun at the venture capital industry and tech-entrepreneurs. New t-shirts can be “funded” for $500, which gives you:

  • Your shirt “made” and will be available for sale to everyone at $25
  • 40% of all future revenue from your shirt ($10/shirt)
  • Your name/company info and “message to the world” on the shirt page
  • The shirt you chose to fund
  • Bonus “iFunded this shirt (over your startup)” shirt

Some of these are so clever, I may even decide to fund one!
