Gené Teare reflects on the outlook for the IPO market, expecting an “unprecedented” year. AI has completely reshaped the venture markets, she notes, though most of the money is going into OpenAI and Anthropic, with the latest quarter breaking records. She thinks we could see the biggest IPO ever this year. However, other hyped AI companies probably need another 2-3 years of maturity before they look to debut. Related, M&A activity has also been booming.
