In 2001, the towers were hit. The market sucked until around 2010 when everyone and their sister decided they wanted to create an accelerator too. In 2000, the Internet bubble burst. By 2002 the NASDAQ had fallen by nearly 80%. Starting a tech company after this? Or even working for one? You must be nuts. Sudden change.

Since the Internet bubble burst in 2001, the number of IPOs hasn’t recovered to even 1980s levels. For perspective, before 2001 over 40% of all venture capital exits were via initial public offerings. By 2010, that percentage had declined to a mere 3%. For the period from 2004 to 2010 a mere 324 did. How bad is it?

Interestingly the data for the 1990-98 and 2001-19 time periods are roughly the same – approximately one-quarter of deals priced above the initial filing range. Taken together, we can hypothesize that overall investor demand for IPOs was weaker in 1980-1989, in the middle in 1990-98 and again in 2001-2019, and highest in the dot-com bubble.
