, our ipo reporter. we have been digging through the moment -- numbers, and my cohost. great to have you on the show. what do you think about the price of the square ipo? what we are clearly overshooting of the late stage from a venture standpoint. valuations are not in line with what we are seeing in public markets. we have seen that with more than a handful of ipo's this year. with scare -- square, you have a payment company that has become a technology company if it is going to grow into the valuations it wants. data from seizing the the point of sale and processing to produce products that are more financial technology. give us the details on what we learned today in terms of the price and what investors are saying so far. >> they will be marketing this ipo and $11 to $13 a share.

that is the price square and its underwriters said we want to sell these 27 million shares to public investors. it is a big haircut. some folks are saying this is a unicorn reality check. of the $16 valuation it was seeking last year in its last around. maybe a little bit of overshooting in the late stage rounds. remember, you don't have to go through the roadshow process over the next week or so. according to bloomberg data, they are said to price on the night of the 18th. that is when they will set the starting price for trading. this is potentially concerning if some of their advisors are saying you are not going to be able to be valued at what these folks thought you were worth a year ago in the private market. emily: does it mean it is not a good business? talk about the landscape and how square fits in.

we were talking to an analyst yesterday who said they have a brilliantly simple business model. >> that is right. they do have a simple business model. they have focused on the small merchant, the mom-and-pop local merchants around america. they have great potential in that space. they had created a lot of destruction in the payments industry making it simpler to sign up for a merchant account. they have been a leader in the cloud-based point-of-sale system, tablet-based point-of-sale system. they do face a lot of headwinds from competitors in the marketplace. how this potential unicorn reality check we are starting to see, how is that impacting decisions you are making, how you are dealing with your portfolio companies and evaluations you are seeing? >> there is little we can do at the late stage to impact valuations. we are seeing hedge funds and

mutuals come in and price these companies up to unprecedented levels. they are correcting in the public markets. thel that money, until inflow slows down, we are still going to see the heightened prices. emily: right. we have talked about square and the executives that will be supporting jack dorsey as he heads out on the road. what our investors saying about their confidence in him and the team given that he has another very important job? friend, talking to our of payment analyst, who said in private markets for the start of world, jack dorsey and all of his experience, he is seen as a premium. that when we get to public investors, when you are asking what they think of him having to split rolls between twitter, which is having problems of its own, and having to go through this roadshow, that is seen as a discount. he will have to lean heavily on

this bench of his which may not be as well-known condensers -- well-known to investors. community will be asking who will be running the company making the decisions, and how you grow your revenue base outside of just the payment processor. you will be looking at sarah folks the c.f.o., these they are now relying on if dorsey is not able to commit 100% of his time to square. emily: you are not a. -- you are nodding. >> it is not like jack dorsey is moonlighting as a babysitter. he is moonlighting as c.e.o. of twitter. it is hard to see a board feeling comfortable with that or the public market investor feeling comfortable with that long-term, particularly if both companies need to innovate heavily over the next several quarters. emily: you know the payments

landscape. talk about what they are up against. where they have advantages and stiff competition? >> i break it into two categories. you have the pier play, legacy payments players, first data, heartland. iv has focused on enabling an ecosystem. there are hundreds of point-of-sale developers in the marketplace today competing with companies like square. heartland and first data have both purchased point-of-sale companies and moved into the space while they are still trying to enable this ecosystem of other point-of-sale developers. square is kind of a closed loop. you have the payment processing function as well is the point of sale all in one. merchants don't necessarily have payment of -- choice of payment processor. it does make the processing more

simple for the merchant. it does not leave the merchant with a lot of choices. emily: the roadshow starts next week. what do we know about the schedule? >> we expect them to be in san francisco, it up all of the investors there. they seem to be making -- planning on making a stop in new york. when i know exactly where, i'm sure you will be the first to know. emily: thank you for that. maha you are with me throughout the show. the ipo is not the only issue jack dorsey has to deal with. at twitter, the other company runs, diversity or lack has become a topic of conversation. a blog post this week criticized the company for failing to create a diverse workplace. late yesterday, twitter's top engineer released a blog post apologizing and saying things

need to change at twitter. we have talked a lot about gender diversity. now is moving into ethnic diversity. jesse jackson singling out twitter. what is your take on the new development? >> the irony is twitter has been at the forefront of the race discussion. it has been the basis and the forum for so much discussion around the black lives matter campaign as well as the anger around ferguson. you have a company much like many private and public companies in silicon valley clearly with the left dealing with the diversity issue and not in the most progressive way. emily: whose problem is it? maha: it is a problem of inflow and the h.r. developments. we need to see more diversity coming out of the stem programs in the united states, across the united states. we also need to have a more realistic financial system and

real estate system in san francisco where people can afford to be here. emily: i have seen twitter making numerous efforts. they were at the forefront of girls who code. they have made women encoding a headline at their own developers conference. it seems like they are trying. but obviously there is work to be done. globalup, nielsen's president gives us an update on what could be an industry game changer. ♪

emily: media stocks took a hit after time warner cable lowered its outlook and news corp. was dragged down by a decline in ad driven sparking renewed concerns about the future pay-tv in the age of netflix. advertisers a networks have clamored for new ways to measure viewership. nielsen has promised it can deliver. devices and set top tablets, even youtube. the nielsen global president steve hasker joins us from new york with a status update on the project. is this going to be ready by the end of the year? >> it is, thanks for having me. we have been working on this for a couple of years. we start of the launch of a product that measures, intensively the impressions to advertising. we have been putting pieces in place the last couple of years. the final piece is what we call

digital content rating which we launched the week before last and a rolling out through the fourth quarter. we are giving our participating clients the chance to look at data and understand what the audience is our to their programs and the advertising industry comes across all platforms. in the first quarter of next year, we will start reduce the syndicated metrics so competitive networks can see numbers across the industry. at that point, you will have in place what we call the ability for buyers and sellers to see all impressions on all platforms. through how you are going to do this and how accurate it is going to be given that i might watch an entire episode of the voice or a clip on youtube. how can you measure all of the viewership in all of these different forms? >> it is very accurate. it does not matter whether you have a large audience or a very small niche audience to a

digital content. what we do is we take our cross-platform panel, the nielsen homes where we measure multiple devices in the homes, including the tv. that panel is representative of the u.s. population. we use that to calibrate and correct multiple big datasets. registration datasets, viewership datasets. we put these together and produce daily ratings. we are finding they are very accurate. is maha.ve, this i recently read 41% of american households subscribe to some video streaming service, whether netflix or amazon, etc. how do you deal with that inevitable trend? is this the solution you are rolling out in december or is this something you will deal with at a later date? >> we are already dealing with this in a sense. here is what we have done. we have had varying successes of

getting the subscription on-demand players themselves to willcipate and incorporate recall our watermarks into the content they carry and the viewers see. owners to theghts people who produce the programming and sell it to players like netflix, we have had the rights owners give us the audio signature that allows us to measure it. we are already reporting back to those owners the viewership on platforms like netflix. here is the breakthrough for them. they are starting to understand how those audiences compare to the audiences through the traditional ad-supported cable echo system --ecosystem. emily: this contrast -- comcast merger, how does it impact you? how big of a threat is it to your business? >> we don't see it as a threat. on one hand, we welcome the competition.

on the other hand, we are focused on executing. if we can roll out the total audience program i described a minute ago, we are going to meet the needs of our clients. that is the single most important thing for us. emily: how accurate do you think measurements are? i wonder if once you roll this out if we will see a massive reordering of the hierarchy of what is popular and what we thought was popular all along. do you think things are generally going to fall in line with the we already know? >> the impact will vary. today,ff that is popular whether the national football the greates or scripted programming everybody loves, i think that becomes more popular. the networks good at producing that and choosing those shows and putting them in front of viewers, they will do even better in an environment where everything is counted. the networks struggling to find the right secret sauce in terms of programming, this is not

going to help them much. we will see that kind of distribution play out. that meansink "bloomberg west" will come out on top. steve hasker, nielsen global president, thanks for giving us an update. looking forward to seeing that before the end of the year. for an update on the story would have been following for a while now, the blood testing startup is reportedly looking for a new lab director to oversee one of its key facilities.

everybody is a critic. some of them remember the past and comparison from that. some of them think about the current competition, the other fruit company. i don't want to mention my competitors on the air. >> many people feel like apple is unstoppable. the one place they couldn't get into was business, because we all used blackberry for work. then you have ceos walk into their i.t. department, i have this tablet, make it work. now the apple ecosystem has made its way into corporate america. what are you doing about that? that is your dojo. john: first of all, we didn't like that happened.

world. you need creative tension to really change things. emily: you quit a couple of times. you made up. like -- tony: it was a dramatic relationship. emily: there is this modern theology of johnny as apple design guy. i wonder how do you remember it. was it more of a team effort? it comes to design, there is no right or wrong. there is opinion. and different people had different opinions and led the charge for certain decisions. so, there was a team effort between myself, johnny, the marketing team, steve, and we would talk about the features, feature sets, what a looked -- what it looked like. there were certain decisions i could make myself. there were decisions about what it looked like, and johnny had

big opinions. steve always rendered the final opinion on almost anything that involved the customer. it was very much a team oriented thing. emily: is this sort of mythology that pits you and johnny against each other -- is there any truth to that? tony: creative tension makes things better. we had times where we saw i die -- saw eye-to-eye and times where we didn't. was it personal? no -- no, it was all about the business and the product. i think that's what made the magic happen. emily: i really enjoyed the conversation. tony fadell, ceo of nest. google is growing its apps partner ecosystem. one of the apps is a communication productivity tool, which enables communication on multiple devices, including

mobile phone, this top -- desktop pc. ceo steve walker joins me with maha ibrahim. that --nted the couple the company that became google voice. in have a lot of experience this. i feel like "productivity" is the buzzword. what is it that sets this apart? >> so many businesses are moving to the crowd for productivity, e-mail, documents, calendar. 365 arepps and office leading the way. having a phone system that goes with them, that is not just desk nobodyusk -- a is sitting at is really important. we were able to build a scalable, large-scale project -- product. we want to bring that to google apps for work users as well. maha: other than venture capitalists, does anyone have a phone at their desks anymore?

you be productive. we've always been focused on the --ce side and the real thing the real-time communication side. we have video and messaging. we think it should all be in one as opposed to a new app that lets me communicate better internally than externally. it should be one system for all your communication. emily: i have one last question. we were talking about a unicorn correction earlier. i know you're a longtime entrepreneur. in terms of how you are running the company, you did a big fundraiser. are you trying to fund raise responsibly, where you are not going to find yourself in a situation where your valuation is too high to 16 -- sustain it for a good exit? craig: we are building the company for the next level, and that's the responsible way to do it. i remember the 1990's and how crazy it got. we have always tried to, series c, and atb, series

alibaba and the latest in a string of deals. the company agreed to buy a is basically that like the youtube of china, ideal said to be valued at $4.8 billion. also alibaba said to be in talks to invest as much as $80 million in a grocery ordering app,

according to people with knowledge of the matter, all ahead of the annual singles day festival next week, a 24 hour online shopping extravaganza, for which i will travel to beijing. i'm already getting excited. joining us is john ryan from china market research group. also, brad stone, who helped break the story about alibaba's potential investment in boxed. and more ibrahim. what do you make of this buy? >> it's great to be here. alibaba is facing real competition from 10 sent and baidu. it announced a deal so it would be the exclusive online showing partner for the james bond series. they are very strong right now otheregrating with jd and e-commerce players. alibaba is not in desperate mode, but challenged mode. that's why they are making an accusation -- qc --

acquisition into youku,. emily: can you give us a sense of how many people in china watch youku? is it really like the youtube of china, or should we think about this more as a netflix or something else? >> youtube and netflix mashed together and a lot bigger. if you look "big bang theory" downloaded 240 million times in china last year on a rival website, youku is even bigger. the scope is hundreds of millions of downloads, not the millions or tens of millions. the second part is the real shift in china is more towards spending on services and entertainment and away from physical items. it's a very smart thing for alibaba to buy into youku, because that is the wave of the future. emily: i wonder what this potential investment in boxed means. i know you have been chasing this story. i ordered one time from boxed.

i got toilet paper and diapers. what does this mean? brad: we have been watching and wondering how alibaba would come to amazon's home turf. they've made a lot of small investments. shoprunner. it's all been challenged, small investments. with boxed, it is a combination of amazon prime and cosco, jumbo items from your smart phone, no membership fee. it's getting a little bit of traction. they are based in new york city. to $100 be $80 million million. maha: all of these companies, jet, boxed,, etc., in my view, mini-amazons. they are underinvested-in amazons. they need all the great stuff that makes amazon so efficient.

and until they do that, they are going to be mini-amazons. emily: what is alibaba? what do you make of this potential investment in boxed? is alibaba trying to be like the amazon for the world? some people say that is not really the right way to look at it. shaun: i don't think alibaba has a clear strategy into the united states right now. i think they are under so much pressure in china that they are looking to buy into logistics and really bring products of the united states into china, but that growth is not really sustainable as long as the consumer economy continues to weaken in china. alibaba has to make investments out of the country, go into the united states, and try to sell to the u.s. consumer, which is doing a lot better. i'm not convinced, though, this is the right strategy. over the last three months to six months, they've been a little confused. they seem to be grabbing at everything rather than having a very focused strategy like they did before their ipo. emily: brad, having wrote the book on amazon, how do you think

about it in that context? alibaba's future? brad: that alibaba will have a very tough road in the united states. we've seen ebay struggle. we've seen all of these layers struggle. it's because amazon does a great job for its customers. really, no one can beat its scale, it's price management, it's loyalty. it will be difficult. boxed has a different strategy, selling in bulk, something amazon has not been focused on. maybe there is a chance here. but you will awaken amazon and they will come to compete with you. emily: amazon is where all my diapers come from. redstone, thanks for joining us. -- brad stone, thanks for joining us. maha ibrahim, shaun, thank you. shaun: i hope to see you in beijing next week. emily: he sure to catch my sitdown with alibaba executive chairman jack ma live from beijing next wednesday tom and
