- digi_owl 10y agoMy impression is that these days an IPO is for the founder and VCs to cash in and bail the ship.
- jganetsk 10y agoWell, you are right that capital has had net outflow http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/02/kill-stock-buyback-to-save-the-american-economy/385259/ http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/02/kill-sto...
- hibikir 10y agoTrue, but we are having a lot less IPOs lately: We see companies with valuations well in the billions, venture backed, that aren't IPOing. We are seeing non-public companies writing contracts with dual-trigger RSUs because options have become completely worthless. So while it's still possible to raise capital by printing stock, this is happening less and less lately.
