Happy Euro IPO Market
It's like one of those nights where you party in one town and wake up in another. In the case of IPOs, the market went out in New York and crawled out of bed an ocean away. At least that's the impression we get from this chart we snagged from a presentation (pdf)by Philippe Claude.
It is called How Exits Changed over Time: What it means for young technology companies in Europe and its from a talk that Claude gave at a Swiss event this month.
US IPOs losing ground to M&A and to other IPO markets, writes Claude, who has been a Senior Principal at Atlas Venture and seeded Business Objects, which was once the poster child for Euro startups to float on NASDAQ poster.
His comments on it are as follows:
• Europe and US IPO markets of equivalent size and liquidity
• Bankers, Analysts and Institutionals hareholders are now less regional
• Less need for European companie sto move to the US for IPO reasons (but there may be other reasons )
•Asia catching up quickly
