According to a report issued by Thomson Reuters and the National Venture Capital Association, 27 venture-backed IPOs raised $4.4 billion for the fourth quarter of 2014. This figure marks an 18 percent increase from the third quarter of ’14 as well as a 68 percent increase, in terms of dollars, versus the previous quarter.
Another very interesting finding: The fourth quarter of ’14 was the seventh consecutive quarter that had over 20 venture-backed IPOs, which hasn’t been seen since the fourth quarter of 2000.
