(Discussed recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24232199 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24232199) TLDR, comparing the year-to-date, tech IPOs are on the high end historically, but not outlying the historical range (I make it just in the top quartile for IPO count). Considering all IPOs (tech and non-tech) though, there are more than any time in the last 15 years. So yes there are more IPOs, but that doesn't explain why there are more tech IPOs being posted on HN.
