Home runs? for investors, venture capital and lower overall returns. Fewer IPOs means fewer small and medium-sized technology companies public, which were traditionally the buyer in the expenditure of the company to venture capital, â? Astiz said. â? Of course, high-tech companies will continue to invent and innovate, and investors continue to invest, but the model is changing.
