What factors will be most critical for reigniting the IPO market this year? 📈 The formula for successful exits has become more difficult. The road to IPO is demanding higher revenue from tech executives - in order to go public and create enough runway for 6+ months. The catalyst for a resurgence in public offerings lies in the increase of liquidity events and payouts to LPs on current investments. With post-election market stability likely paving the way for more IPOs, this would lead to higher distributions for LPs, which then go full circle and put money back into venture. This cycle of liquidity and reinvestment is essential to bringing on a new IPO season. What other factors do you think are crucial for accelerating IPO momentum in 2024 & early 2025? #VentureCapital #EconomicTrends #IPO #StartupEcosystem
