“Tech Start-Ups Wary of IPOs”
TheStreet, January 12, 2011
Peter Townshend observed that emerging technology companies increasingly seek private capital rather than becoming public companies and issuing shares because “the rules around being public are cripplingly expensive, so cumbersome, and so onerous.”

Mark J. Mihanovic was quoted on April 22 by the San Francisco Chronicle in an article regarding the fall in venture investment in start-ups in the first quarter of 2008. The article specifically discusses the impact in Silicon Valley despite its unique market. "The dynamics of Silicon Valley are different from elsewhere in the country because it has so many life sciences and technology companies that can merge with each other for strategic gain and wait out tough times," said Mr. Mihanovic. He continues, "If we had a more vibrant market, even an average market, I'd be doing two or three (life sciences) IPOs right now."
