Bloomberg broke news late Tuesday stating a highly anticipated tech company, Etsy, plans on filing for an IPO perhaps sometime in the first quarter. Etsy sells handmade crafts and vintage goods online and Bloomberg says it could be the biggest technology IPO to come out of New York since 1999. Sources told Bloomberg the company is looking to raise $300m which has been practically unheard of from a NY based company since the dot-com bubble.
