Fred Wilson: The End of the IPO Drought is Coming (avc.com)

He says new tools make Sarbanes Oaxley cheaper to comply with. This is the first that I have heard. Somehow I dont think it means cheap or easy.


This was a point I kinda commented on to Fred a few weeks ago, and I was surprised that Sarbox isn't a main concern anymore.

However your point about 'cheap or easy' is precisely what may help the IPO market credibility. If it were cheap and easy and everybody could do it, we would be back to the bubble (in theory). With the right tools and people who can work with it, the companies that truly are ready for IPO can make it work.


Hopefully, but I'm kinda doubtful


If it's true, I'll take it as an early leading indicator.


I doubt it'll be this year. Lots of potential shoes out to drop yet. Maybe late next year?
