About this talk
Renewed Emphasis on Growth: Driven in large part by the dramatic decline in interest rates, public market investors have placed a renewed premium on companies with strong growth potential. Recent IPO performance has been incredibly strong, while the recently popularized SPAC has arguably made it easier for firms to go public, especially companies with riskier profiles. Finally, a renewed focus by regulators on antitrust may make M&A as an exit path more of a challenge, further pushing companies towards going public. How has this renewed emphasis on growth impacted valuations, exit cycles, and investment strategies within the world of early and growth-stage investing?
