Mr. Hambrecht Bill Hambrecht Hambrecht William Hambrecht
Mr. William Hambrecht founded Hambrecht & Quist, which was one of the first investment banks focused on financing the technology boom in Silicon Valley. Mr. Verratti said he talked to traditional investment banks but hired Hambrecht because the company's goal was to maximize its proceeds from the sale. Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse managed the sale, a variation on a Dutch auction, and Hambrecht was part of the underwriting team.
