SpaceX’s IPO may be a real win for venture, but it’s a deeply skewed win.
“It’s a huge win for VC firms,” Kyle Stanford, PitchBook director of U.S. venture capital research, told me on Friday. “It’s a concentrated win, but the sentiment is that everyone can say: ‘VC is still creating these returns.’ Now, you have something where you can say that IPOs are on their way back. Because if SpaceX does great, we have some momentum.”
