VIDEO: Groupon IPO to pave way for M&A

Published July 7, 2011 at 1:31 PM



Groupon Inc., which recently filed to raise as much as $750 million in an initial public offering, is in a good position to consolidate the online coupon industry, says Mary Kathleen Flynn, senior editor at The Deal. The popular daily deal website has "first-mover advantage, especially if they raise the funds that they want to raise in the IPO," says Flynn in this video interview with The Deal Pipeline. Groupon itself may still be an acquisition target, with the potential for Google Inc. to follow up on its failed $6 billion bid for Groupon in 2010.
