The IPO market should come back pretty strong, possibly as early as later this year - especially if interest rates remain low. With low savings rates there will be a lot of cash people will be looking to invest and traditionally people like to get a bit of it in to higher risk vehicles like start-ups. Right now the issue is liquidity, all the funds have been sh---ing bricks for the last few months - this chaos and panic needs to subside, then there needs to be a few months stability, then there will be a trickle of new investors, then will come a mad dash as people don't want to miss the next bubble. One thing to consider at the moment is getting exposure to overseas funding - look at setting up a joint operation in another country e.g. if you are America look at Europe or Asia - having a joint operation will give you 2 places to seek funding and, if you are making any revenue, revenue in different currencies - this way you hedge against your country being sluggish coming out of the recession.
