Many of the big players are back for a reunion. Mary Meeker, Morgan Stanley’s star Internet analyst who was once known as the Queen of the Internet, had been relatively quiet for the last 10 years. Just this week, however, she surfaced again with a stunning new prediction: advertising for mobile Web would become a $50 billion business. Morgan Stanley, Ms. Meeker’s home, is the top adviser to technology mergers this year, just as it was during some of the boom years.
Then consider the return (don’t call it a comeback) of the dean of techology bankers, Frank P. Quattrone. Mr. Quattrone dominated Silicon Valley deal-making in 2000, earning more than $100 million in a single year. Now he is back in full form, having founded the advisory firm Qatalyst Partners in 2008.
