| Hi, Agen. Even as the IPO markets show signs of life, startups eyeing a public-market debut in the near future will face intense headwinds. We look at what that means for those companies ready to take the leap to the public markets. And, venture funding overall may have dried up, but weather-focused startups are still getting investor cash. Despite the impending Arm and Instacart planned IPOs, which are expected to open up the IPO pipeline, an analysis of The Crunchbase Billion-Dollar Exits Board finds that many of the billion-dollar-plus companies who went public at the peak of 2021 are now trading well below their IPO prices. We look at what that means for late-stage startups ready to take the leap to the public markets. Discussing the weather has turned from small talk to life- and property-preservation efforts. Fortunately, startups that provide forecasting and analytics tools to help us prepare for the potentially damaging events are still getting funded. We tap Crunchbase data to find out which startups are getting investors’ attention.

Arm filed its IPO plans this week, and Instacart is expected to do so any day now. The performance of these two very different highly valued and well-branded companies will be a test of investor appetite in the next wave of technology IPOs, which some market watchers predict could perk back up this year and in 2024. Good companies can come out of difficult times — remember that Uber and WhatsApp both came out of the 2008 recession. Startup adviser Itay Sagie presents three compelling reasons why now may actually be another great time to venture out with a new company. |
