InsideVenture CEO Hopeful Liquidity Events Will Return
No foolin’, the exit markets for VC-backed companies are bad. Thomson Reuters and the National Venture Capital Association released exit numbers today, which you can view here. In the face of an economic downturn, there were zero venture-backed IPOs in the first quarter of 2009, marking the second consecutive quarter in which there were no new issues. Again, this is not an April Fools' Day prank. There has never before been any record of back-to-back quarters of no venture-backed IPOs.
