The IPO market is certainly down, so more companies are taking the reverse merger into shells route. I would be curious to know if any research has been done on how many tech companies have done this instead of IPO?

RM is much cheaper and faster than IPO.

I’ve worked in the brokerage industry for years. Many traders I talk to say companies would be crazy to IPO given the enormous compliance requirements the regulators need. Think SOX. But excluding that idea (knowing the report covers a time when SOX was already established), did they adjust the report for inflation and dollar fluctuations? It might not be a major factor but if you consider it in the report, the numbers could be different, still (and if so, probably skew the numbers even more downward).

Still, I don’t look at these types of reports as anything to worry over. Money, while ebbs and flows with the health of the economy, is more likely to shift from industry to industry or investment vehicle to vehicle.

You just have to look for where it ends up.

Presenting data in charts is much more interesting and easy to understand. Go VC! This should be the way.

Companies that have been in existence for over 10 years and still cant make a profit need to either sell or close shop.

VC are the ones being taken to cleaners by overpaid “life style” executives and engineers . These $$$ should be given to startups who are scrambling to get funded. If VCs are going to re capitalize these companies, the CEOs should first be forced to layoff overpaid executives, engineers and support staff. The jobs should be outsourced.

Jon – I read elsewhere that the immediate impact is likely more VC funding of later stage investments that the VCs would have already expected an exit from. Such later stage investments may require additional funding which they would have otherwise received from an IPO. So its the early stage investments that will likely feel the immediate funding impact.

Great information. Gotta love some well presented bar charts!

Its interesting to compare these numbers to a more macro view. Specifically, today’s front page of the NYT.

Here: http://tinyurl.com/6yktl5

Two points:
1. The valley is doing better than the overall economy
2. The stock market has gotten smacked around (4 yr. growth has been cut in half, 20% to 10%, in the last 6 months)…not surprising the IPO market isn’t gangbusters right now.

Still, if the drought continues, the VCs may have less free cash to invest. Isn’t that what we’re starting to see?
