SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGY IPOS

Technology IPO activity slowed in 4Q 2016, with only three companies going public, as market volatility ahead of the U.S. presidential election prompted some startups to delay going public.

Notable technology IPOs included Trivago, which raised $287 million and priced at $11 in December, BlackLine Systems, which raised $146 million with a market cap of $839 and priced at $17 in October, and Coupa Software, which raised $133 million with a market cap of $866 million and priced at $18 in October.
