Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter
IPOs have effectively vanished from the tech landscape, with PitchBook data showing virtually no exit activity as market instability makes going public extremely risky. Despite a brief recovery after Trump backed off some tariffs, major indices remain deeply in the red: Nasdaq is down 15% YTD and Cloud and Semiconductor indices are both approaching -20%.
