Will Yahoo buy Maven?
(This is in danger of turning into the all-General-Catalyst-all-the-time blog...)
But the buzz yesterday was that Yahoo was on the verge of a deal to buy Cambridge's Maven Networks for about $150 million.
Wonder how that deal will be affected by Microsoft's unsolicited offer to buy Yahoo for $44 billion?
I suspect if the ink isn't yet dry on the Maven acquisition, CEO Hilmi Ozguc and his investors (which include GC, Prism VentureWorks, and Accel) may be biting their nails for a little while...
(A few months back, I wrote about the rivalry between Maven and Brightcove, Cambridge's two video delivery start-ups.)
