IPOs Were Crushed This Year — And Venture Capitalists Are Worried
Portfolio Pulse from Nabaparna Bhattacharya
The IPO market has been volatile since 2021, with many companies seeing their valuations dive by 63% after debuting on the U.S. stock market. This has caused concern among venture capitalists and resulted in many startups delaying their IPO plans. Companies like Airbnb (ABNB), Pinterest (PINS), and Snowflake (SNOW) have yet to reclaim their initial valuations. The underwhelming market performance of Instacart (CART) and Klaviyo (KVYO) has further dampened enthusiasm for tech listings.
