Nutanix, Okta, Twilio and Coupa are preparing to become PJSC in 2016

Four IT startups valued at over a billion dollars are being prepared for the initial public offering of companies in the market in 2016, which may indicate that the IPO market is ready for change after one of the most unsuccessful periods in development.

According to various sources, Nutanix Inc., Okta Inc., Twilio Inc. and Coupa Software Inc. are at different stages of preparation for the initial public offering of shares. Over the past 18 months, each of these companies has been valued by private investors at $ 1 billion or more.

However, market conditions may interfere with these plans. IT startups and Internet companies that were transformed into public joint-stock companies in the United States collected $ 9.5 billion in 2015, which is more than four times less than in 2014 - then this figure was $ 40.8 billion (according to the information of the Dealogic company). The number of companies that were converted into PJSC, during this time, has more than doubled. In 2014 there were 62, in 2015 - 29. The outgoing year was not easy for PJSC, which had a negative impact on the assessment of many private companies.

However, 2015 gives both investors and management of technology companies hope that the world of public investment in companies lives and flourishes, at least Anthony Kontoleon, CEO of Credit Suisse Group AG, is sure of this.
