Collision 2015 - Bruce Aust & Jeff Thomas of NASDAQ with Leslie Hook of Financial Times
summary
Says Nasdaq sees reasonable public valuations: today ~2,700 Nasdaq-listed companies vs ~5,000 in the late 90s, and last year 189 IPOs with 41 year-to-date and 12 scheduled this week. Explains private companies stay private ~8–10 years, investor influx lifts private valuations, and technology plus the JOBS Act (500→2,000 investors) enables pre-IPO liquidity via NASDAQ Private Market which launched after Facebook’s 200 million program in 2011 and now hosts 90 companies.
