on john stumpf. emily: at this point, what's the real damage to wells fargo? how our customers taking the news? is this having an impact down the chain? guest: that's a good question. we haven't seen much of that. wells fargo will report earnings on friday and we are hoping to learn a bit more about whether customers are leaving the bank or picking up and moving to competitors. isfar, not a lot of that happening. it's not clear how much of this has affected the bottom line. it's worth noting that some clients have withdrawn from chicago, illinois and governments have said they are no longer doing business with the bank on some transactions.

it doesn't look like a lot yet. be interesting to see how this plays out over the longer-term. bank has emerged fairly unscathed. they paid $185 million fine and clawed back $60 million from executives. what do you make of that that it hasn't hurt them that much? guest: when this initially came out, a lot of people tried to define and look at the amount of money and fees the bank charged customers. it was like $2.5 million and said this is a small thing. .ut it don't on itself washington dc got involved and lawmakers got involved in a ,road him down for two hearings first in front of the senate and then in front of the house financial services committee. it picked up a life of its own and built on itself and the

scrutiny and pressure has been building. now he is out of a job. tim sloan replacing him. thank you for that update. we will continue to monitor the story and bring you any headlines. now to our "bloomberg technology" lead -- snap is said to be one step closer to a public offering. they've chosen morgan stanley and goldman sachs to lead the ipo. the recently re-banded -- marketed snap has a value of $2 billion, making it the largest social media ipo since twitter in 2013. joining me now is our ipo reporter that helped rake the story for us. perhaps it is not surprising goldman and morgan would be part of this offering. the two top investment banks. what we know so far and what are

the details you have been able to uncover? morgan stanley is the lead with goldman collating and there are five other banks. this is a lot of the banks that helped extend this credit line in recent months, so perhaps a bit of a pay to play there. has filled its suite of underwriters and we have reported that they are prepping ipo documents, looking to go public as soon as next march. really some momentum here in terms of an actual offering. facebook not go public for eight years. uber and airbnb are still fundraising. what do investors make of the fact that snap is doing this now? they will bek paying attention to the fundamentals of the company. they are still developing

relationships were content with the nfl and making a foray into consumer products. these things are going to materially add a the bottom line and where margins are going to be, those will be the top things investors will pay attention to. to people in ipo land on the investor side, people are big,ed to get one of these notable names. we've seen some of these smaller tech docs trade up quite a bit after an ipo and with the big name like this, you have to think there's a scarcity effect that would play into a public listing. going publica because they want to or because they have to? has it been difficult to raise money at a high valuation given they are in the early stages of

developing the product? alex: they have tapped a lot of different funding sources whether it the equity or the credit line they have extended. decided it's they time to move on. looking at who's running the company, have some former bankers and smart folks in here. get public ready to and be financially reporting in front of investors and dealing with the quarterly cycle, that a lot of companies have been hesitant to do. but they have to stomach these decisions at this point. emily: who are the people advising evan spiegel? you reference the chief strategy officer at credit squeeze. snapchat has been through some cfos and coo.

who is helping to march this forward? jury valero is overseeing the financial nitty-gritty. ,van is the face of the company which is an important person to get in front of investors. imran khan's experience, he was responsible for leading the alibaba ipo, which has been a biggest technology public listing folks have cared about in the past decade. when it comes down to the actual ipo and ipo readiness, you have thereect he will be in and have opinions and guidance for the company as they marched through this process, which is very involved and some companies don't like to go there because

they can see it as a distraction. to have that kind of person on the bench with a former mattel executive, it seems like they have some guidance to help evan spiegel as he runs this company as ceo. emily: i remember running into alibaba ipo.f the a great scoop. thank you for bringing us that update. later, we will chat with snapchat's first institutional investor. now to a stock we are watching -- samsung seeing its biggest three-day stock plunge. $23 billion have an wiped off its books. samsung cut is third-quarter $2.3ting process by billion, but not all investors are fleeing. that generatedd

joining me now is our bloomberg reporter that covers amazon. how compelling the bells and whistles? i know they have tens of millions of songs. talk about the library and some script and plan and whether customers will sign up. it's a message that amazon is getting more serious about music. they've had a vanilla catalog for years and it has been subpar for real music enthusiasts. so the fact they are increasing the song catalog so much and it will include more new releases from top artists indicates they are getting more serious about the music push. pricet on the key points, comparable with bona fide but a sweetener for prime members and is the take away promotion for the go and how they are looking to bundle music streaming with the purchase of a

voice-activated speaker. emily: a really sweet deal if ago.wn the amazon is the only tech titan that has tried and failed in the thec streaming is the graveyard is littered with other efforts. does that go make this different? go much will have been and for owners increase the potential success of this? music is the key gateway for the act go. it's difficult to keep track of all the new functions. you can did in your lights, order a pizza, do all of these things through voice commands with the." and this is a play heading into the holidays. they have introduced a low cost ago that you can attach to your own speaker. excitedt to get people about it, so the cheaper music

streaming option is a way to get people excited and bring it at a lower price point. much of a threat do we think amazon is to spotify? there was a concern that apple music would make a big denton spotify users but it hasn't so far. could the impact spotify and what about pandora, which is going through a rebrand? you have to think of it as a long-term threat. amazon plays a slow and steady game with video where they come slowly and gradually increase their offerings. and evenl be similar with logistics, they keep adding better and faster. long-term, it is a considerable threat and the executives are watching what amazon is doing.

about there being a dating apocalypse. is there an apocalypse or are you just pivoting because tender seems to have the swiping market cornered? guest: i would say there is an apocalypse out there. in a world -- dating apps have become a staple of culture for this next generation. the way they affect our lives and the way they are designed to affect our lives. you can see that in the video we created. the amount of loneliness deep of feel and how objective five justified people feel by just swiping to the left toright is not conducive people actually looking for relationships. that is what we are trying to change. emily: you will be charging users seven dollars a month. i wonder in a world where people are so used to free apps, will your customers pay for this?

marketing companies. they spend a tremendous amount of money so you come sign up. these products that are free, they build products that are effective at something and spread by word of mouth for the most part. if you look in the old world, there were only one or two players in the casual space. and okas 20 of fish cupid and nu had match and he harmony. in this new world, you have tinder at the -- you have ind -- that is the niche we are trying to fill. from athere's a quote professor in a vanity fair article that stands out to me that we are in the middle of the biggest transformation in human relationships since 15,000 bc when the marriage contract was invented and it's all because of

the parent company of snapchat has selected inks for its public offering. it could happen as soon as march. joining me in the studio is a partner at light speed. great to have you on the show. the story of how you discovered snapchat is amazing. knews before anyone else about it except for some teenagers. tell me how you discovered it. jeremy: we were very lucky. one of my partners had a daughter going to school at one washe places where it popular. because he is an engaged dad, he noticed his daughter was using it a lot. this was in 2011. she says there are three apps everyone has -- angry birds, instagram and snapchat. he said i've heard of two of those but not the third one, so that's how we heard about it.

we were able to connect with the ceo and offer -- after a few conversations, he told us he was growing so fast that he could not pay his server bills and i said maybe we could help you with that. this was when facebook was looking to go public and nobody could imagine a world where facebook would not be the dominant social network. what was the discussion at the firm? was it a slam dunk or was there some skepticism around it? one of the things that is constant about technology is changed. there are always new companies and opportunities and we are frequently investing in companies going up against big incumbents. i know you can't share the details on the timing, but given that facebook waited so long, why would they want to go

public those in? germy: i will let the company speak to that. -- i know snapchat has a broader demographic, but how do they differentiate themselves? jeremy: i think the company will be in a better place to talk about that than i am. emily: how do you make sure it does not become the next twitter? what do you see that is than some of the pitfalls we have seen twitter have to deal with? : i think for a company to be powerful, needs growth and engagement. that's something snapchat has --onstrated in spades incredible growth and incredible engagement. people use it many times a week and many times a day and that

creates new habits. when you become a habit, when you become a verb, it's important. speaking of habits and new trends, snapchat is getting poll andware, we did a i know this is not scientific, but whether folks will buy 87% oft spectacles, people said no. are you excited question mark what makes you think it could be a hit? jeremy: evan has spoken a little bit about it. he is an amazing product visionary and i tend to believe him. he is demonstrated over and over again that he has the ability to see around corners into a future people don't see today. i have full confidence in the company. emily: perhaps it would have been different if we did the poll on snapchat.

you have invested in a number of e-commerce companies and you look for apps trending among young women. tell me about that. jeremy: young women are the cultural carriers for society. what young women do today, everybody will end up doing three to five years from now. part of the reason is and this is a bit of a cliche, men will tend to do things with each other like go play basketball or go play golf. but women talk to each other. ability, ifthat you're product inspires other people to tell other people about it, genuine word-of-mouth, that's a good predictor that it's going to be successful more broadly. emily: what is the next big thing young women want? jeremy: there's a lot of areas where we see growth and engagement. allink e-commerce, we can

agree we will be buying more things online in the future than we are today and there are a lot that arecompanies appealing to young women. roots,ny like hungry with packaged convenience food. there's a lot of e-commerce things that i get excited about. we will talk more about your e-commerce investments in the next block. but you were involved in apple's first original show, committing $10 million to the show. jessica alba is part of your portfolio and a mentor. i'm curious what it has been like working on the show so far and what should we expect? jeremy: shooting hasn't started yet and we are still in the process of casting the apps that will be on the show. we are looking forward to seeing what they have in mind and part

of the job as a venture capitalist is you get to see the future through other people's eyes and we are looking forward to seeing the future these people have in mind. you have invested in some other media companies and i'm curious, given your thesis about what dog young women, you think is the future of how people consume content? people are still watching a lot of tv on tv. maybe that's just me. that's right but the trends are becoming clear. thatand more video viewing historically happened on tv is happening through other channels, whether it be mobile or through facebook or twitter. about the five and a half hours at an average american watches tv, some of that is appointment tv like game of thrones or westworld. but another portion of that is ambient tv. you cannot watch "westworld is

the company has chosen tim sloan to replace him and stephen sanger becoming the chairman. news reporter just got off the phone with sloan. what did he have to tell you? this is asaid decision that john made and not something that lord asked him to do. he not quit, he was not fired. that's the most significant ring. why tim thinking of sloan was put -- he's really planned for this succession for quite a while and was named in november as chief operating officer. had groomed him, but it's important to note that after all these scandals, there has to be some link. john stumpf is the guy who led the bank through the financial crisis. you have legislators coming out saying he bears direct wellssibility, whereby

fargo employees were creating accounts for customers they did not even ask for. to the bank is this long-term? long-term, we are not sure. we will hear from them on friday morning and i'm sure it will be one of the first things investors want to know -- how long is the fall going to exist and do you see customers leaving? do you think they will see more people leave? outa lot of data has come to the point where we can ascertain as details but for investors, that is the key question. onlydon't mind there was $185 million paid for a fine. for that size bank, is not a lot of money. the investors are concerned about the reputational damage and going to work, will there be customers who pull deposit and will they stop using their wells fargo credit card?
