Last year\u2019s investor dreams of a strong 2024 IPO pipeline have faded, if not fully disappeared, as we approach the halfway point of the year.<\/p>\n
2024 delivered four venture-backed tech IPOs, Reddit<\/a>, Astera Labs<\/a>, Ibotta<\/a> and Rubrik<\/a>, in March and April, which made it seem like this year could spur the momentum investors had hoped for in 2023. But secondary investors and IPO lawyers recently told TechCrunch that despite these four successes, macro conditions like the upcoming presidential election and elevated interest rates, means the IPO market won\u2019t fully reopen until 2025.<\/a><\/p>\n This year is still on track to be better than 2023, and we\u2019ll likely see a few more public filings throughout the year Companies including Klarna<\/a> and Shein<\/a> have engaged with bankers and seem close the line, but their IPO timelines are still murky.<\/p>\n For the most part, it may be easier to decipher who isn\u2019t<\/em> going public this year rather than who is. Some CEOs of late-stage startups have directly stated they won\u2019t IPO in 2024 while other companies have made financial moves that imply a public listing isn\u2019t imminent. Here are some of the venture-backed tech companies we don\u2019t expect to hit the public market this year.<\/p>\n TechCrunch is monitoring the late-stage startup and exit markets and will continue to update this article.
