Term Sheet — Friday, September 18

• Undercorn odds: Yesterday I mentioned that we'd post video of my "private IPO" discussion with Frederic Kerrest (Okta) and Anand Sanwal (CBInsights), which included an impromptu game of "which unicorn would you sell?" You can now watch it by going here.

• Speaking of unicorns: If you work at a highly-valued tech startup or are invested in one, I hope you have already sent Janet Yellen a big bouquet of (on-demand, cloud-based) flowers.

• Stupid human tricks: The WSJ reports that publicly-traded private equity giant KKR is investigating its market-making firm (and its trader Donald Himpele), after a bizarre decision last week that briefly cut the firm's value in half. From the piece:

In anticipation of high volatility on Aug. 24, the NYSE invoked a rarely used rule that allows market makers extra leeway to decide on an opening price. The exchange delayed trading in KKR on its platform by three minutes and 15 seconds before Mr. Himpele opted to open shares of KKR at $10. That was about half the $19.55 at which they closed at the previous Friday, despite there being no significant news affecting the company. It was also below the $17-to-$18 range at which the stock was trading at on electronic exchanges in the preceding three minutes.

Full story is available here.

• New Sand Hill faces: Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers has quietly added a pair of junior partners to its early-stage venture capital practice: Swati Mylavarapu, previously leading product marketing for Square's premium software offerings, and Muzzammil Zaveri, who had been part of the Silicon Valley investment team for Chinese Internet giant Tencent. Don't be surprised if KPCB adds more staff in the very near future.

• Quiz time: Speaking of Kleiner Perkins, can you name the former KP partner who is raising a new venture capital fund? Hint: He's long been based in Silicon Valley, but his new partners haven't.

• Quiz time II: Can you name the veteran VC firm that very recently decided to call it quits? Hint: It has the word "Venture" in its name.

• Just asking... If you invest in ad-blocking software that encourages people to view our ad-supported content without the support, should you still be allowed to receive Term Sheet for free? You know who you are.

• #GetLiquid: Our upcoming Liquidity Event in San Francisco is sold out, but we're still hoping to pull some folks off the wait-list (sign up here). BIG thanks to sponsors PitchBook Data, Gunderson Dettmer, TPG Growth, Andreessen Horowitz and Winmark Capital.

• Have a great weekend... Go Pats!
