I think you're right on health/bioinformatics - Seeing a lot of VC money pointed at health/bio, and only expect this to increase. With 58% of VC-backed IPOs in 2014 being in healthcare related industries, there is an allure to invest more there (check out the bottom third of this datagraphic - http://blog.pitchbook.com/a-visual-breakdown-of-vc-in-2014/ http://blog.pitchbook.com/a-visual-breakdown-of-vc-in-2014/)
Software exits were still certainly the highest (470 in 2014), but those most commonly occurred through acquisition and far less through IPO. Health/bio saw over 200 exits in '14, with about half of them going public.
