The document summarizes data from surveys of venture capital firms on the state of the capital markets for start-ups. It shows declining numbers of start-up IPOs and M&A exits since the 1990s. The surveys find that VCs believe the IPO window may remain closed in the near future due to market volatility, that start-ups are avoiding going public, and that this drought threatens the long-term health of the VC and start-up communities.
