Venture capital and the technology sector that it supports1 continue to evolve at a bewildering pace. Beginning with the dot-com bubble of 1998-2000, the industry has been buffeted by one dynamic development after another. These have included, among others, the dramatic economic upheaval in 2008-2009; the explosive growth of early stage companies with an Internet-based business model; the sharp reduction in infrastructure costs of starting up companies; the globalization of business in general; the proliferation of startups achieving “unicorn” valuations of $1 billion or more; the emergence of crowdfunding and its ultimate application in the form of the Initial Coin Offering (ICO); and accelerators/incubators as increasingly effective means of forming and funding startups. In recent years the technology sector in general was experiencing another cycle change, characterized by an unprecedented bull market in the U.S. exchanges, high valuations, large round sizes including “megadeals” of $100 million or more, and the substantial role of private secondary markets as an alternative exit outside of the traditional IPO and merger/acquisition channels.
