2015 was for the United States the poorest on IPO technology companies since 2009
In 2015, 28 technology companies entered the United States in an initial public offering. This is the worst result since 2009. In 2014, this figure reached 62, in 2013 - 48. At the same time, 131 "unicorn" worth over a billion want to continue to remain private companies.
The representative of Renaissance Capital, Caitlin Smith, said that there was no such result from the financial crisis in 2008-2009. However, she noted an increase in the IPO in the field of biotechnology.
Not all companies were successful in IPOs . Half of the technology companies that issued shares in 2015 trade at a price lower than the offering. Etsy fell by 41%. Box and Square are rated lower than when they attracted investments as startups. “We definitely broke firewood over the past year,” admitted Box CEO Aaron Levy . “But it was a great experience.”
