Nicole DeTommaso observes that several companies considered IPO-ready are choosing not to go public at this time.
She notes a changing dynamic in the venture capital and startup markets, where going public is no longer seen as the ultimate goal for startups. Instead, DeTommaso highlights that the traditional IPO exit, once viewed as the key moment for stakeholders to get paid, is increasingly being postponed.
DeTommaso has previously advised founders to assess VC behavior during diligence and investment. She has also projected that Big Tech operators, especially in AI, could become leading investors in future cycles. These observations add context to her current view of changing priorities among private companies.
