What this meant for entrepreneurs and VCs was a bit more complex– the IPO market was all but closed (with the Google IPO in 2004 as a brilliant exception), but it was possible find a buyer for your company. My experience of 2001-2004 is very remote from what you are describing. I forget that other people actually read this blog.

Whilst teaching 16-18-year-old college students part-time, I had taken on a Flash website build in mid-2004 for a highly-reputed jewelry company in Bristol, UK, referred to me by a friend, and done a good job, other website opportunities started to come in. It wasn’t really on my mind to start a blog. Photo Credit: Dave Pedley.

When I started blogging in 2004, there weren’t many VC bloggers. I’ve become less interested in writing this kind of stuff so my blog has evolved into whatever is on my mind, but a lot less “VC stuff.” Today, VC content pieces are everywhere. It’s a spectacular article.

Part of the fun of having a blog for a long time is that it captures some of the history – in the moment – of what’s going on. Congrats to my friends at Rally Software on the announcement that they’ve signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by CA Technologies for $480 million.

Back in 2018, my colleague Rob wrote a blog post about how the VC asset class is doing. One thing that jumps out quickly is that TVPI between 2004-2010 (avg 2.6x) has underperformed 2011-2017 (avg 3.0x). If I knew the answer to these questions, I probably would be doing something else and not writing this blog post.
