Or, as my friend Marc Andreessen might say, Software Eats the Private Equity World. While a flood of new VCs came into existence during the late 90’s internet boom, many had difficulty raising new funds after the crashes of 2000-2001 and 2008 , and as a result significantly fewer fund managers exist now compared to a decade ago.

And finally, you may be able to avoid diluting your equity. Preserve your equity by using a consulting CTO to ramp up your company before securing early-stage financing and hiring a permanent technology partner. Though after the dotcom collapse of 2000-2001, there are many more than there were! Why are consulting CTOs so scarce?

Once again, the 1999-2000 dot-com bubble period shows the highest percentage of pricing above the initial filing range – 44% of deals were priced above. The implications of this for asset managers is that they need to find yield (aka, investment returns) elsewhere. Higher demand for equities therefore drives higher prices of equities.
