Excerpt from [CNBC](https://www.cnbc.com/video/2018/12/13/optimistic-about-lyft-ipo-professor-says.html) -- (0:12) "I am definitely optimistic about Lyft. I think it is priced at a modest range, the 15 to 20 billion dollar range. They are stable, they are founder-led. They haven't really inflated their valuation to the point that Uber has. They have got some really good strategic partnerships with Waymo, with DD, with GM."
