Ron Conway: IPO Market At Least A Year Away From Opening Up
Questioned on when he sees the IPO market open up again, Conway responds that he thinks we are at least one year away. He’s more bullish on the M&A market picking up again, expressing the hope that this is only six months away.
In the rest of the interview, Conway mostly talks up some of the 130 startups he’s invested in to date, although interestingly he reveals that he’s not on Facebook or Twitter because he doesn’t have the time for any of these services.
Since he’s an early-stage investor in both those companies, that would make Conway the anti-Peter Lynch.
He also claims two of his portfolio companies, Admob and Digg, could one day go public.
But that’s at least a year away.
