The problem isn't with tech giants doing M&A, it's that the government effectively shutdown the option to IPO for all but the largest companies with Sarbanes Oxley. Remove that excessive regulation and startups will have a choice other than to sell to FB when they come knocking.
- notacoward 8y ago> government effectively shutdown the option to IPO for all but the largest companies with Sarbanes Oxley Can you elaborate on that, or provide a link to someoene else who can? It seems like a bit of a stretch TBH, but I'm willing to consider reasoned arguments.
- sroussey 8y agoThis is a typical reaction, and it’s definitely true. But it’s only half the story. If there were no investors pumping $100m rounds into startups, they would all IPO.
