Benchmark Capital general partner Bill Gurley tipped an interesting price point for a potential Yammer deal.
He asked on-stage whether it was $1.4 billion to the co-head of Goldman Sachs’ global telecommunications, media and technology investment banking unit Anthony Noto tonight at the F.ounders conference in New York.

If the deal does go down as soon as tomorrow (as reported by Bloomberg), Yammer’s CEO David Sacks will have something to celebrate at his now infamous 40th birthday party.

The invitation said, “Let Him Eat Cake.”
